Seriously gigz. I don't know how you make simple tasks so complex.

You gotta slow the fuck down. Pick a medium. See it through to the end of a complete cycle. And try to take something from the experience.

Soil isn't hard. And coco shouldn't be either. Get a log book if you have to. And write down every little thing you do to your plants over their life.

Even if that's flicking on a light for 20 seconds of their night cycle. Just to see how they are. Or. You spotted a spider and thought you had to burn down half the neighborhood.

You need focus. And you need to keep track of what your progress vs the goals you're trying to achieve. Otherwise you'll just keep going around in circles.

If you take an average of 4 weeks veg and 8 for flower that means you only get 4 cycles in a year so it takes time to get into a rythm and you have to persevere when you have setbacks. That’s one of the reasons guys that are cash cropping get better at growing faster a lot of the time,they can’t afford to fail I’ve had times that I’d invested so much time and money already that as much as I wanted to walk away from growing I would have been living under a bridge if I had lol.

I get that. But our mate here keeps trying to do too much.

I find its so much easier to take in a concept. If I'm only focusing on one point at a time. Not trying to work out 2-3. Or more ideas at once.

I found trying to monitor pHs and measure out exact nutes and such to be a pain in the ass.

I guess that's why I've stuck with the soil and cobs combo. If I feel game enough to venture into coco or dwc at some stage. I almost garuntee I'm going to have issues.

I'm not having a dig at ya gigz. Just trying to comprehend the rate of change in your choices.

We need to put ourselves in gigs shoes to be able to understand his mindset (No offense gigs intended)
Adhd etc etc
This is why I don' give gigs to much shit cos we ain' gonna change the way his brain ticks
The only thing I can recommend gigs is to listen to what one person u trust recommends doing cos listening to 3 or 4 "experts"is where a lot of your random changes come from.
Prob doing your grow more harm than good.
I mean this in the nicest possible at mate cos I know what I'm talking about having a daughter diagnosed with adhd but it was really autism high spectrum.

[giglewigle]

Pulled the thc bomb dont no what imma pop in its place

 

[OldMateToldMeTo]

Agreed with ruby... information overload is a fucker in our game, best advice i got was try one medium untill you have it dialed in. Remember everyones environment is diff so is water ect ect... my first coco grow was terrible lol but trial and error is how ya really learn...

The basics of plant health and nutrition stays the same for all mediums,get that right and you’ll end up with some nice buds whether your in soil,rockwool or anything else you grow in. I was the worst with trying to find the miracle additive that would give the biggest best buds ever and took a few years to realise half of them were basically the same thing and none of them would make up for not doing the basic shit properly.

It’s good to learn about new stuff but you have to be able to filter all the info and realise not all styles are suited to all growers,I would love to try a D.W.C set up but I know I’d fuck it up so I just stick to what I feel my strengths are.

 

[ruby fruit]

I think this is that spray bottle gigs that coco waa talking about..2 litres easy as fuck to use and gd value for $10 a la bunnings
Sour kush about to get a neem drenching via foliar
Sitting at 130cm while the shark is growing at a rate of 2cm a day easy and will be 150cm before the week is finished

 

[Nugachino]

I'd love to be capable of doing dwc too. But it's the same here. I know I'd fuck it up on the daily. It's too much of a balancing act with all the e.c, pH and res issues for my liking.
