High, I am really new to led growing, point me to the biggest brain in the house, I got alot of pickin to do!

I am a legal pot head, medical, and as the moniker atest to, I have some hurdles to overcome.
One of my issues might give even the biggest and brightest more than they can chew...
NO, I am not retarded, it is much worse than that.

Antways, I am new here and could use a heap of help.
If someone round here is into that sorts of thing,

I'm you putty.

Hey kymtnman, I did put one out there... I am BLIND.

I have developed part of a system for me to go with, butb somethings are impossible for me.

I use touch, tactile, to accomplish most thhngs.
I have 95-98% loss, some color flashes, I manage to distinguish contrast pretty well.
If I slow down my field of what I can see, one thing only, no movement and the likes, it is my occipital cortex that is damaged, bang-bang says the rag head, my eyes are in perfect order.

I have grown one plant, still going on, with the help of another Vet but he went and died on me.
So, i know that there is someone out there that knows soooo much that they could "do it with my eyes shut", aor at the least, I hope there is.

The one I have going has been through hell, burned etc., but is still going.
So that made me go out and get a led, stick it on cables in it's own room, and beat bbush for help to learn.
The one I grabbed is 3x100, multi-band.

My wife is helping me mount a camera aimed at my grow, so my thinking was I could share some ppics and adjust grow fom there, it is really about the person helping me being able and aware to convey the feel and smell as it goes. I will help explain more if I manage to get help, it is not that it is complex or such, I can't explain lots of time, makes me feel bad in the head to know how bad I really have it.

I am a legal head, Arizona says something like 12 plants at a time. I will only aspire to do one at a time, maybe two?
I ordered seeds from Attitude,

Flying Dutchmen Seeds Dame Blanche
Feminized Cannabis Seeds - Pick 'n' Mix
FLYR21
1
$16.84
FEMINIZED UFO #1 Strain Hunters Seedbank Seeds Flowerbomb Kush

FEMINIZED UFO #1

they shoould be here any day now, so as you see, I want to get the Ol' try going on.

I'm a disabled vet too; thank you for your service brother.

I've been giving disabled gardening, in general, more thought lately but "blind" has different hurdles. I'm sure we can figure out something that might make it possible, with help, but some tasks will require assistance. Since you already mentioned a wife, I'll assume she can help and that makes things much easier.

I'm not familiar with AZ laws now but before we decide how many plants and how best to do it, we need to know how much dried yield you need per month to supply you with enough meds (assuming that's the goal) and how much space you have. One step at a time. ;)

i'll be interested in following this too.

i'd make 2 suggestions:
i know a really good grow consultant in SoCal. he's a Vet too. and he won't steer you wrong. and he's here on these forums luckily for you.

number 2, you better treat your wife like a queen while she is helping you. flowers, chocolates, massages whatever it takes. keep her happy and your plants will be happy too.

good luck to you!
