Part of what you're seeing is grower skill, I think. Widening legalization and cheap lights have really widened the pool of growers who have no gardening experience and this site is where many of them come so we see those efforts more frequently. Before led lights the pool was vastly smaller and generally more experienced because there was expense and legal risk weeding out the casuals.

Happy Wednesday! Started my beans on Friday, so I'm at five days...should I bother keeping the three Chernobyl? They've popped, but they look like they're not gonna be healthy plants, if they make it at all. I have two more that I can try again...
My only other two grows I germinated in paper towels. This is my first time germinating in soil. The FdM and Mephisto all popped, so not sure what happened here.

EDIT: I just watered right before this, so they've not been soaking per se. There was a day over the weekend that I thought ALL the soil looked a bit wet so I let everything dry back, flowers, tomatoes, peppers, etc. Wondering if that wet day caused them to stunt? Everything else survived.

i'm always amazed at how many people seem to have zero plant growing experience who just jump right in with cannabis. mostly because of the financial investment when you don't know you're way around yet. my way of doing things is usually to figure out a way to scale down or do a cheap prototype, then get some confidence and move up from there. not saying that my way is right, but it's just how i'm hard-wired.

The reference point as to what is cheap changed too when legalization has caused major price adjustments. Used to be people would try growing because $300 an oz was more than a light cost.

We all have our individual learning styles! Like many new growers I started out with Fox Farm nutes, had no meters or ph control and was using the full strength directions because what the bottle says has to be right, right?? RIGHT? Before this I was trying to use FF in dwc. It's organic so you might as well be pooping in your res lol. Root rot galore!Screenshot_20240313_114718_Edge.jpg

I eventually switched to synthetic nutrients, Dynagro at first, now I'm dedicated to General Hydroponics dry nutrients.

I'm a bread baker, making a living now from slinging loaves. However my first loaves, baked 10 years ago, looked so bad. But at the time? I thought there were beautiful. Took pics and sent them to everyone, posted them to FB, thought the world of those two footballs.
