hi all,
after selling close to 10 downoi, decide to contact all my buyers to find out their downoi status via a survey; Hopefully, by getting sufficient data from different ppl, a better understanding on the ideal condition of growing downoi can be obtained;
I will not perform any correlating of the info, or data analysis, to avoid mis-interpreatation of the info; So the data will be presented in raw form;
Will let more experience bros to conclude or other ppl who want to grow downoi to use as reference;
Still trying to locate the other 3 bros to get their feedback;
