Amen to that brother ......I feel the same exact way ....il see people with massive gardens growing mediocre money crops .......then there's the guy who's passionate with a small backyard grow that ends up with the most amazing potent well producing plants......money don't make you a good grower it's time effort and passion ......we all gotta start somewherethe way I see is anyone can grow good quality weed. what separates the boys from the men is when it hits the scale.
Just remember your doing well just by getting started in the first place even if your first grow doesn't turn out like you hoped at least you learned hands on what works and what doesn't .......you'll be growing fine dank before you know it just don't give up and learn from your mistakes Keep growingIm new to growing just wondering if im doing well
K well if your in good soil the ph is no big deal it will buffer by itself so don't worry to much about that ....IMO I think your moisture problem is your biggest issue right now ......you gotta let those things dry out before you water again MJ likes there dry period in soil How often are you wateringIm using cfls it stinks an the thc has covered the plant completely will it still bud the over watering problem is due to drainage issues buy i put pebbles etc at the bottom of the poy an for ph hasnt ever been tested juat thought id give it a go but my new crops have a ph pf 6.5 under 2-1000 watt hps
