Things u learned in your first grows??????????

[CaseyJones84]

New to growing. Almost done with my first grow. About halfway through flower stage. Never thought I would learn so much about growing a plant. It always leaves you wanting more knowledge. Just curious what everyone else has learned or applied to their grow.

Don't over water.

Don't over water.

Right?! What water source do you use? Tap water, distilled, purified, rain,etc???

 

[CaseyJones84]

I’ve learned K.I.S.S. Thankfully before i made things complicated and expensive lol

Temperature is VERY important.

RO water here. Small seedlings are so easy to kill.

Be PATIENT..

What temp do you keep your plants at? I keep mine around 75 for veg and 78 for flower

What’s your way of doing seedlings? Paper towel or straight in soil?

 

[CaseyJones84]

LST super important. Just did some and saw growth so quickly.

• pH papers are much better than the meters if you don't use them often.
• It's not necessary to check ph or ppms that often.
• The best approach is the hands off approach. ie don't worry about what the plant does and just focus on providing the essentials.

Actually I found the opposite to be the case. Pot will grow even if it gets to freezing as long as the days warm up and it grows quite well in temps that average triple digits during the summer. The plant is far more hardy than people give it credit.

Never harvest early or dry to quick

I think he meant indoors

Before switching to organic I ruined half my grow by feeding according to the directions on the bottle.

I use pond water for the patches close to ponds, creek water when close to creeks, and rain water when there are no bodies of water around.

What happens if you harvest early?

What do you use

 

[CaseyJones84]

I’ve learned to use this forum and ask others. Always be prepared to seed through the bad responses.

It taste like hay with nearly the same potency
