I have much too learn kiss-assplease tell me your secrets!!
Haha cheers mate, you're too kind. lol
To tell ya the truth though, there really isn't any secret to be told.
My advice, as old hat as it may seem, would be read read read. I've spent over 5 years roaming these online forums and the like. There is all the info you'll ever need online. You'll just need to soft through all the shit (and believe me, there is a lot of it) to find the occasional nugget. It just takes time. So read widely from multiple sources and form a good working knowledge.
And still, on top of that, its gonna be a whole lot of trial and error for you (at least that's how it was for me). So just get stuck in and get your hand dirty. Don't be afraid to experiment while your still new. Something that doesn't work for everyone might work for you.
And try not to love your plants to death. lol
