What's the most important thing you've leaned through trial and error?

[jdog127]

Patience.

That tap water works just fine...

You’re not a fan of cal-mag?

 

[Lucky Luke]

Its useless to step on the brakes when your upside down.

1.That doing the same exact thing as everyone else will get you the same exact results as everyone else. Once I tried more unorthodox practices my grows exploded.
2. I used to use synthetic nutes..now its organic all the way!

The less you mess with your plants the better they do.

Grow room climate. Period.

Amen, climate is by far the most important element in a grow room, forget the expensive equipment if your dialed in with air circulation, temps and humidity you can grow quality bud.

Have it on hand as a standard grow “ tool “ if ever needed but hardly need it ... municipal water seems adequate so far.

 

[DaFreak]

I was just joking. See a lot of people with good tap water go RO and then add cal-mag.

Here’s one .... FARTING in tent or grow room can have dire circumstances... “ butt “ chokes out the mites tho.

Next time you break out a 1/4 zip to your bro or girl... line up your ass crack and Code Brown that shit ... zip it up . When they want to relish in the odor of smoke ready bud ... boom ! All up in they nostrils .... BWHAHAHAHA

The less you mess with your plants the better they do.

depends your ideal of better, you can take two plants same conditions, same nutes, leave one and train the other and see when one gives you the bigger yeilds.

I ask this because growing is a fun way to experiment. On my first grow, I convinced myself that measuring pH wasn't "that important".

on my second grow, I did decide to adjust pH, thinking I could "prove it isn't that important", and I admit... I was wrong (lol obv).

My plants are growing much faster now that I've been more careful about testing pH, and they look very healthy now that they are getting the right pH.

In hindsight I regret skipping this step last time. I still got decent bud, but I'm sure it would have been a significantly higher yeild had I not been dousing them with tap water with a pH around 8 their whole lives.

I love reading the threads and hearing others talk about first hand experience with trying new things.

What was your biggest discovery via trial and error? Dumb mistakes are the best teachers!

Never give up

It's all fun and games until you've been in poison ivy. Not that I would know, or anything

Lol
I’ve never even seen poison ivy,
As far as I know, it doesn’t grow around here.

 

[DaFreak]

Most important isn’t really learned, it’s just not practiced. Check your plants daily. Every little screw up costs you bud

 

[SPLFreak808]

The art of slow drying, as dumb as it sounds it took me a good bit of trial & error.

 

[Indagrow]

You really should wipe Everytime

Lucky you. It's a nasty weed.

Have patience and leave your plants alone, don't fuck with them constantly.
Keep an eye on them and check on them every day but generally just let them be and grow.

I totally agree with this .
If you keep messing with things all the time …. you won't be sure of what worked or didn't work .
Take notes of your grow and learn what works for YOUR grow .
