[Stoves] Fast Growing Fuel

[Jeff Davis]

Hi Frank,

That would be great! Anything on how to grow it. Like you mentioned, air.
Other things like temperature range, minerals, food, CO2 etc. This winter I
would like to grow some indoors so I would need to know what kind of light
bulb to buy. I don't need/want information on fancy pure cultures, I just
want to grow the stuff I see around where I live.


Thanks!

Jeff
