Inferior genetics...(all that £/$ on equipment; and bag weed?!)

listening to people that don't know what they are talking about or are intentionally trying to steer you wrong.

 

[Foothills]

Don't go out and buy 4 or 5 different types of chemical fertilizers and additives thinking you're doing the very best for your plants.
It's much more likely that you're going to get yourself into trouble, wondering what the problem is.

Ordering things to your home through the internet let's strangers know you are growing and where. Don't order to your grow. It's probably not a great idea to use your IP to log onto forums if you are growing where you live. When I grew where I lived I left the forums for years, now I have that solved.

this is only a problem if you can't grow legally. in MMJ states patients are allowed to grow a limited number of plants.

Overwatering should be at the top of this list!

Shouldn't be an issue anywhere. If I order a HPS lamp off the internet no one can reasonably assume that I am using it to grow cannabis. Loads of people who live in less than ideal places find indoor gardening to be a blast and that just happens to use what is also used to grow cannabis. But it's not like fans, lights, nutes, etc are all specifically designed for cannabis.

Why is old fertilizer a bad thing? Most I've seen don't have expiration dates, just lot numbers.

Is it less of a problem with 2-part fertilizers? I use Mills A-B.

never heard anything bad about Mills , the local outdoor growers love the stuff round here , never myself used it
but really buy only what you use unless it's known to keep
I like the dry powders myself , why buy water ?

some of my neighbors grow tomatoes in their garage during the winter time and the people at home depot tell me that indoor gardening is popular up here

Makes perfect sense. Vine ripened organic tomatoes are expensive as hell, especially in the winter.

I grow peppers along with my girls in winter. nothing like fresh vine ripened bell pepper from the closet in February when there is 6 inches of snow on the ground outside

Mills basis AB kicks butt -- especially in coco and coco blends. No need to use extra cal mag. They have several other products in their line but they are very expensive. A one liter bottle of "Vitalize" costs almost $300. I'm sure they are awesome, but that's insane!

Love dyna-gro but this is very true, only buy as much as you can use in a year. Past that you may run into problems.
