You will need to balance the potential financial benefits of home ownership with the other factors of your life. A home can be a welcome haven to recharge your batteries or an anchor that locks you down and limits your options. Owning a home is more restrictive than leasing or renting a place to live. Selling a home might take months, or years, of effort to get the price you want. On the other hand, renters can pack up and move across town, the country, or the world fairly quickly by settling the terms of their lease agreement. Have you considered the possibility that you or your spouse may be transferred to a new location within the next few years? Many experts suggest that if you don't plan to stay in house for at least three years, buying a home makes no sense. Does your lifestyle conflict with the requirements of owning a home such as weekly lawn care, seasonal cleaning of gutters, or installing shutters? While most of the work of homeownership can be delegated to others for a price, that simply adds onto the on-going cost. Consider the likelihood that your marital, health, or career status may change within the next few years. How will owning a house affect your options to adjust? Thousands and thousands of homeowners have learned to their dismay that the prices of homes, like other assets, can drop in value, leaving the owners with mortgages greater than the value of the property. Foreclosures exploded across the country after 2009 and abandoned homes have driven down the value of surrounding properties. Keeping up with the Jones' is an ever-present danger in most neighborhoods and few are able to resist the competition. The larger the home, the more space to fill up and the greater pressure to buy things. The hand-me-down furniture with your frat-house bookcases looked great in an apartment, but not as good when compared to the neighbor's furnishings. The combination of empty space and spending time in neighbor's wonderful homes can ruin many a carefully planned budget. If you do buy a house, keep your budget on track by remembering that nostalgia is in fashion. Don't be afraid to check thrift and consignment stores for used furniture. It is surprising how a little elbow grease and paint turns a throw-away into a treasure.

Strong, bright light is not necessary for clones. Use a weaker light, such as compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs, rather than high-intensity discharge (HID) light bulbs. Situate the bulbs 8 inches (20cm) above the cloned plants. Set times on your lights so that the clones receive 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness in each 24-hour period. Clones need a warm environment to thrive. They do best with temperatures between 72 and 77F (22 and 25C), so use a heater or cooling system in your grow room if necessary. Do your best to keep the temperature as consistent as possible, as fluctuations in temperature can weaken your plants. Check the soil each day to see if your plants need water. The soil should be moist, but not saturated. It's better to water the plants small amounts more frequently than large amounts less frequently. You can also use a mister or spray bottle to keep the leaves moist, as well. It's important to check your ventilation system before planting clones and adjust it as necessary. Because cloned plants are young and weak, too much of a breeze will dry out your clones. Ensure that there is little to no breeze in the space where the cloned plants are located. After 6-8 weeks, the clones are considered adult marijuana plants. If the roots grow to the bottom of the pot, you can transplant them into larger pots. Provide the same amount of light, fertilizer, air circulation, and water as you would for other full-grown plants so they can mature and flower.

Implantation bleeding is often accompanied by mild cramping, which is usually lighter than what you might expect with your period. This cramping might feel like a dull ache in your lower abdomen, or you may feel prickling, pulling, or tingling sensations. If you experience sharp pains or intense cramps and you're not having your period, see your doctor to rule out any serious underlying causes. Breast changes are a very common sign of early pregnancy. Around the same time that you experience implantation bleeding, you might notice that your breasts feel sore, heavy, swollen, or tender to the touch. They might also look larger than usual. In addition to overall tenderness in your breasts, you may notice that your nipples are unusually sensitive to the touch. Another common symptom of early pregnancy is fatigue. You may feel extremely sleepy even after a good night's rest, or find that you tire more quickly and easily than usual. Early pregnancy fatigue can be very severe, sometimes making it difficult for you to work or carry out other normal day-to-day activities. Although it's called "morning sickness," nausea and food aversions are not restricted to any one time of the day or night. While these symptoms usually set in about a month into pregnancy, you might notice them earlier. Not everyone experiences these symptoms, so don't rule out pregnancy just because you haven't felt sick to your stomach. You might find that certain foods or smells trigger nausea symptoms, or that your appetite is reduced. The rapid hormone changes that you experience in early pregnancy can affect how you feel emotionally. If you're noticing physical pregnancy symptoms, also keep an eye out for emotional and mental ones, such as: Mood swings Unexplained sadness or crying Irritability and anxiety Difficulty concentrating The rapid changes in your body early in pregnancy can leave you feeling generally under the weather, causing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or faintness. You may even experience a slightly elevated body temperature, which can cause you to feel like you're fighting off the beginnings of a cold or flu.
