Things I've learned

Great thread topic.
Some keys to success from my experience, which is not much.. would be properly plan out your grow and get the environment under control before it's an issue.

Agreed. Even with proper planning wait a bit and see what happens before you put those pretty little lady's in a new tent or greenhouse ect... spent months planning and designing and building a grow box.. once it was done I immediately threw nice 2 week old seedlings in it. Well there was a huge design flaw in my ventilation and Temps got to the 100s within no time and my shit was fried by the end of the day...

If I had left the box basiclly dry run for a day or two I would have seen the heat rise and fixed the issue before baking those b*tches...and not in the fun way

Don't buy and use fancy schmancy colorful cartoon character covered "Marijuana specific" nutrients. Their not.
Don't believe all the claims of "Bigger, denser, stickier if you use this product." BS!
If it costs lots, for little bottles. It's junk to make you spend money, and them rich!
Flushing is BULL SHIT! Flushing with a "flushing" agent is bigger BS!
Extended dark periods before harvest - MYTH.
Hydro is better then any other method.
High P will grow perfect massive buds in bloom.

I could go on for ever.......

Yea when I started I was using fox farm and no matter how low of a dose I went with I kept getting burnt tips so started reading up about what's are the actual ingredients and buying finding and using what's really needed makes all the difference... Not the npk rating or colorfull bottle with the cartoons and high price tag.

Not nocking foxfarm bc I still use it but its not my one and only gospel anymore.

Don't take anything as the one true gospel... question everything

Do not love your plants to death. Many problems can be avoided by simply leaving them alone. Overwatering and overfeeding are the biggest mistakes new growers make.

I bought moisture meter from Lowes takes ALL the guess work out of it.

I buy Miracle Grow potting soil and it works great.

I would have thought MG would be a little hot for a plant, and later on plants would have a hard time

my honest opinion miracle grow soil and nutrients aren't the best for growing marijuana and it doesn't make a good final product but on other flowers and fruits its perfict

i usually just take the time to make my own soil organically

Everyone's got they're own way of doing things. What works for Tom might not work for Dick and Harry. Could follow Tom's recipe to the T but for some reason it doesn't work right. Doesn't mean Tom's wrong just what worked for him. Maybe Tom likes no till home made dirt, Dick likes hydro, Harry likes cfls lol what ever gets the job done for you.

yeah that a true statement

My personal style is to do a shitty halfassed clusterfuck of all the above, all at once, when I've never even done any the proper way, and wonder why I fail get all pissy whilst kicking shit mumbling swears. Hence why Ive been on this site for 10yrs and I mainly stick around the newb section.

Lmfao jk...kinda.
Maaaaybe there is a one true gospel that we haven't quite figured out. Buuut there are a million ways to get the job done and it's alot nicer of a discussion when people talk about what works for them instead of preaching.

Btw if some one wouldn't mind hitting the thread with some bud porn that would be greeeeat mkay.
