Humor me here. When I first started playing golf (I shudder at the memory), I was clueless, just like when I started my first grow. I just finished my third grow and I'm working on my fourth. It took me three years of playing a good bit of golf to one day have the light bulb go off and to actually 'understand' what I was trying to do out there...and no, it wasn't to investigate every patch of woods on the course. I also looked into ALL the water hazards. Anyway my point/question, how long does it take until one starts to really 'understand' what you are doing with this hobby of ours. Almost makes me feel like I'm in the mafia, this thing of ours. I've watched too many gangster movies.
I see a huge difference in myself from my first to third grows, but I can't claim I have the knowledge to look at a sick plant and have a good idea of what might be wrong. Am I making sense, are you getting the gist of my question?
Thanks for the morning giggle re your golf learning curve, Heads Up, you do make me laugh
Will get to your Q in a min.
Heads Up
It's kinda like with women....just when you think you understand them.....you're fixin' to go back to school.....do you ever know "everything"?
Hopefully we all are growing within ourselves everyday.
peace

I shudder to think what happens to the brain when you stop learning, cof. It's like people who loose their partners early in life are more prone to dementia!! The brain is a muscle , it needs exercised.
Stop stimulating it, and then you got troubles.
I've been growing this here plant since there were only 5 or 6 major strains around,and the best we can hope for is a collective like this to help us along the way.18 yrs,and I teach horticultural sciences,and the plant never ceases to come up with different ways to fuck with me.
Thanks for stopping by luvvin growin. You gonna stick around?
Welcome to the happening spot luvvin growin. We could use some extra horticultural knowledge round these parts. Hang out if you please.
Sure would be handy. I got lots of general plant (non MJ questions)

Sweet genuity, thanks for sharing the pics bru. Very frosty. Got some LA Con last night to smoke.
very nice...if you could only get a whif of my querkle babies..lol
Description please Bucket Head?
different mothers, different growth rates. i move them around according to height so they get even coverage.
Funny how slight genetic tweaks can bring out different characteristics. Take my twins Thelma and Louise. You wouldn't think they were both OG Kush plants from the same seed!!
dam those are hella frosty keep up the good growing
Yeh, keep up the good growing everyone!!!
To Heads Up, well I have been growing this time around since begin of 08, and previously back in the early to mid 90's. I am so learning everyday now - from peeps on RIU, the 600 naturally, and by making mistakes. It's all well and good learning exactly what to do, but I almost think it is prevelant if you make a few learning errors. This makes you learn even more! I guess it's something that eventually as a subject you can satturate, but I think with the fact we are working with plants that have very little official research done in to them, compared to other horticultural species, then we are all going to continue learning for some time. Look at the changes that we have with Seeds, Autoflowerers, cross breading, grow techniques -SOG, SCROG, MOG (made up), etc. Quite amazing.
Lets hope we all continue to learn.
Thanks guys, off to work.
Peace, DST
