You CAN grow in Miracle Grow (I don't like it, but it works!)
Cinnamon sprinkled on top of soil helps with fungus gnats (kills larvae and the fungus)
Light is EVERYthing for good bud growth
You can get good bud off tiny plants...it's just tiny bud!

Breeders are bullshitters.

Breeders claim of flowering time: 48 days! 50 days!, 55 days!, 60 days!, 65 days!
Actual flowering time: 10 weeks, 10 weeks, 10 weeks, 10 weeks, 10 weeks

Or something about my grow room makes quick flowering strains flower at standard intervals. It's crazy.

I discovered that it's just a weed and I'm not a scientist or a commercial grower or need to be all day long flying. So I water one seed, she grows, I harvest and she keeps me happy till the next crop. A single plant. some light. Water and patience. KISS.

Monitor constantly and have pest products ready to fight incase of pests....of course prevention is best, but if it happens, you want to be able to take action straight away to minimize damage rather than waiting A week for
Product to arrive in the post (like I foolishly did) one infestation can take out all ya mothers and flowers in one hit! That can be alot of time and money down the drain!

More plants doesn't mean more bud..usually the same yield... more plants, more popcorn given the same veg time (under one light)
Buds that get light have more THC (confirmed my hypothesis numerous times with cannalyse and cannalytics...makes perfect sense because trichs protect)
Flowers don't always cure to smell/taste the same as they do during flowering
Don't expect a certain yield, just be happy you are smoking good green
Mistakes are learning points, remain positive...it works
PATIENCE IS EVERYTHING

If your growing with a dehumidifier that has been used in a dustier area or a basement/ attic of some sort, do not try to feed the water back to your plants. I know others who accaully do but they keep their filters very clean and thier grow is in a veryyyyyy clean room, like a gutted bedroom. if your grow is in a basement and youve bee using your dehumidifier for a while all the water will do to your plants is give them a copper toxicity for the dehumidifier pipes in side. I know this form first hand. Slight deficiencies will be noticed but after about 4 weeks your plants will start looking cal/mag/ nute over burned. Everything you dont want. DONT DO IT.

I've learnt that its best to have a bigger mother room than a flowering room. Keep whatever mums of good smoke you can and keep em going forever who knows what genetic worth they might have in 30 years time! I mean just imagine smoking smothing when your 80 thats you've had since your 20's how SICK would that be?

1. If in soil lose the bottled nutrients. Get a hold of the organic material needed, and whip up some custom soil that will take you the entire way with minimal if any nutrient feedings. 2nd thing I learned was to Google, compost teas. <3

NAT DA MAMA!

Sorry I used to love that Dinosaur show when I was a little sprog :)

I've personally learned:

That Hermies are 90% of the time down to grower error and not breeder error.

"My plant hermied"

"Did you do anything wrong?"

"Well, my temps were at 200c and my humidity was at 100% but no, I did nothing wrong, but I absolutely condemn this 99% of the time reliable breeder, I WANT MY MONIEZ BACK!"

"Twat..."

I'm fairly sure that you would be immune to the effects of that particular cannabis strain if you smoked it for 60 years solid! :D

Don't be afraid to grow a Hermaphrodite to maturity.

Miracle Grow Moisture Control Soil can grow bad ass MJ.

A grow room can cure depression.

Use a milk crate to lift a plant level with the canopy.

2 lights are better than 1.

Do lots of research before you throw a seed in the ground.

Listen to experienced growers when you want to maximize yeild.

when growing outdoors,

1. grow where nobody will ever walk even in your wildest dreams, it HAS to be hard to get to.
2. don't leave tracks, if you do, cover them, dont leave any trace.
3. carry your soil in without your plants and bring tomato and pepper starts with you, youre just growing veggies right? then go back later with your plants in a small backpack with a gps "i'm just geocaching ociffer" (#4)
4. always have a story. a fishing pole, tacklebox, and fishing license make me feel very secure.
5. use plastic "deer fence" and the spray "deer fence" spray it on trunks of trees, watch the wind it friggen stinks! you dont want it on you.
6. for snails, use crushed egg shell, diatamaceous earth on top of the soil, (these cut their bellys and they die), and "sluggo"
7. make your own soil mix blood/bone meal, bat guano, worm casting, chicken shit. fert 2-3 times during flowering (or more if the weather is good, they grow more, they need more) with a one part bloom fert like maxibloom or batonicare pure blend pro bloom.
8. add lots of "soil moist" watering crystals unless youre in a wet area.
9. at harvest stash your bud near the road or at least make sure the coast is clear before you get in your car, or even better dont even use a car, use a bike, then go back and get your stash with your car. double and triple bag it just before you leave. drive when it's cool since heat increases smell.
