Make sure your girl , wife , boyfriend is COOL with
your hobby
Very good point. Even better if you get your significant other directly involved. My wife uses far more product than I do (she uses it recreationally, I don't), so she's a huge help with the entire grow. Mixing tanks of nutes, watering and especially trimming. She's my pre-trimmer, then all I do is the tight trim and hang the plants.

From a newb that's on grow #2, here's what I learned from grow #1, just to show you how dumb rookie mistakes can be:
  1. Don't bring fruits from the kitchen and eat them in the grow room ... causes major fruit fly or fungus gnat issues.
  2. Don't transplant your indoor plants in the grass outside because spider mites may hop onto your plants and reproduce in your grow room.
  3. If you have fungus gnats or spider mites, Lost Coast Plant Therapy will save your grow.

Never piss into the wind

Dont get married

Never quit a job unless you already have another 1 lined up

Pay your taxes

When she's says "you're the best I've ever had, or, we're just friends I swear" she's lying to you.

Trust no one, not even family. The're normally the first to screw you over.

Never grab a snake by the tail.

Remember you have freedom of speech but not of the consequences.
So True.

Learn how to make your own regular pot seeds. Look hard for what you like and pitch out the rest. Odor control and CO2 are your buddies.
 
1. Tell Mars hydro to fuck themselves
2. Stop watching YouTube videos
3. Make sure those damn kids got the cash before they get the zips
I can't lie, Youtube grows was the shit in 2012. Now, it's all sponsored crap. I'll still check out Josh Steensland's and Medicropper's videos if they drop one but that's about it.
 
Here‘s my favorites ....

1. Stop taking pics under pink , blurple , blue light , it isn’t a fucking nightclub.
2. NEVER EVER .... EVER TALK ABOUT YOUR GROWS TO YOUR PEEPS
3. Flushing is for toilets ....
4. Stop buying bottles of Nutes with fucking cartoons on them.
5. Fuck Brickweed
6. Smoke weed everyday
7. Relax ..... it’s just a fucking plant
4. Stop buying bottles of Nutes with fucking cartoons on them.
The guys I know who do this typically are always trying to give me/anyone tips on growing too. Drives me insane.
 
Never speak of your grow, only to your better half in RL. This includes family. Never cut your own throat or make yourself vulnerable if in a non legal state or area. Thats why RIU exists, you can talk here.
I started my first seeds in a state that's still illegal. I moved outta state after a few years because I shared too much with my homies. Most of them got hooked on pills and made me nervous so I got out quick as I could. Just in time too because they moved to heroin shortly after I left.
