So my second seed order came with a coffee cup in roughly fifteen pieces LOL. It was a Cali Connections mug too :/. Not a big fan of the breeder but I paid for the mug LOL.
Seeds were fine though :cool:,

Third order just hit the states. I chose socks this time so lets see if I get 'em with no problems.

Lol, just want to get started already man. I hope my great white sharks end up half as big as your monster Black Russian.
Veg them long enough and they will but this hydro system with perlite grows plants fast tho but you can get any plant that size just proper care and it will get there. You will be good main thing is don't over feed.

Hopefully the tds meter will fix my inner noob lmao
You will be fine bro just read the plant and always build up nutrients over time better less the more because if you over do it and burn the shit out of them they will kill your yield but if you use less you still get a good yield and no next time you can push that strain a little more and if your running lots of strains at the same time it can be a pain in the ass like my last grew where i had like 6 strains and one was a pain in the ass but the rest were fine funny thing is the one that sucked last time is now my beast so just need to know how to treat a lady and she will reward you :D

Every time i look at the beast i smile i feel proud of this grow I love growing and when i look back at my old grows every grow just gets better and better its a great skill to have its all about tweaking and refining my skills i will not stop till i hit that master class of gpw :)

You will quickly realize that the tds meter is worthless. Yes it's good to know the ppms of what you put in put if you go by the feed chart your gonna mess plants up so the main thing is when starting off always start with 1/4 the amount of feed chart and work way up. Always try to remember and watch how he plant looked before you feed and how it looks after. This will help tell you if you feed too much or if they could use more. After that this will help you determine your next feed and so on after that. Start low and work way up can always add more if needed but can't take away. It's Iike drawing with no eraser

How did everyone's first grow go? Anyone do superb?
Did you guys start hydro or soil?
My first grow was in soil under a 400MH. It was a disaster as it was in my roof and impossible to work with. My second and third grows were there too but they worked better. It wasnt until probably my 5th grow (under lights, I'd grown outdoor for a few years) that it started to just work and that was when I made a massive cupboard and had 2 x 1000w lights and pulled 2lb lol.

:clap:, How many plants?

My first grow was outside. I just planted, watered and underfed. The budworms made a feast of her!
LOL. Only grow outside?

Heat! Checking pH, and everything else every four hours! It was like having a baby. I am sure I could do better now. I just need a dedicated grow area where I don't care about the humidity ruining the room. I also want to use CO2 next time.

I started in coco as that's what my brother recommend then he also recommend that i start feeding my clones at 1000PPM or 2.0EC and burn the shit out of them he also recommend recirculating system for coco big no no :D then i found this forum asked for some help one recovered one was burned and was dead but over all first run was okay learned a lot i did let the light get to close and burn one of the main colas

but still pulled I think around 6 oz but only let it flower 6 weeks after that it was all about reading and no doing what my brother recommends now I am the one that tells him how to grow and his changed his system to the same as my old one with the coco/perlite mix he did want to try perlite this run because he is a copy catting mofo i don't mind its not like i didn't get help to become a better grower so sharing is caring me think watching others grow is the best way to become a better grower reading about how they deal with there stuff ups and how they grow
