Many of you are highly educated and very experienced.

[go go kid]

[budolskie]

Bibles this forum and practice is how i got l to know what i do although that still isnt enough

 

[CaptainCAVEMAN]

15 years of trial and error and reading forums.

A lil of both. You need to be taught the basics, but from there, you're on your own.

“Apprenticeship” through a former college roommate (2005), and later on, another who was a former boss of mine and big seed collector. I’ve taken the mindset that this info is worth sharing in our non-Rec state, and have been since teaching my 2nd apprentice the ways.

Grew up working in the garden with my family ( RIP Grandma). Planted some collards in her memory this year…..Soon as started smoking planted some of those seeds.. Some 30 years ago lol. Off and on messed with it. TLDR. Learned by experience mostly and the old forums. Still learning

 

[Hollatchaboy]

Trial and error and a lot of help from the early forums. Read a lot of articles throughout the years. Learned most from reading other people's journals. There's so many experienced and skillfull growers on here!

Fify. You start knowing a lot less as you get older, though you may not be to that point yet. Lol

I can only wish I knew then what I know now . I'd have a shit ton more money and would have gotten a whole lot more wimmens...

My dad has grown on & off my whole life, I secretly paid attention.

I was part of a couple of different friends who also grew's "trim teams" where they'd talk shop while we trimmed for hours on end, whole weekends I've even taken a week off work to help trim & just SPONGED all that info.

I helped another buddy who grew, who was semi disabled, I'd help him clean and reset his recirculating tables & tons of fucking hydroton. I hated cleaning that shit, that alone i was like "I ain't doin DWC"

Did like a year of internet sleuthing before I presented a solid "business plan" to my wife during COVID, and off we went. So far, so good. A few hiccups and subpar harvested plants but nothing serious so far.

Around 1980 my buddy and I helped his brother with a outdoor grow guarding it during the summers. He showed us what to do... Then we shop lifted a grow bulb from kmart and started a grow in my closet because my my mom was cool like that. And way later on overgrow on the web...

Every grow should get better!

Is the question about how you learned to grow or how you learned your occupation?
Or both if you grow for a living lol
