yea, my first ever grow has been my best. In soil, in a pot and generally left alone. Sadly I do have black thumbs, unlike the rest of my green-thumbed family. I make mistakes that others would think is wrong even before doing it I fear.
I changed to coco on my second grow when I went indoors.Heard it was easier than soil. Well if you are smart with plants I am sure it is ....
In my first few grows I only watered when it was dry. I could grow some really great plants and the root balls were great. problem was the yields were just ... average. I also had mag lockout in week 3-4 of flowering. They needed more water.
In my last grow I feed too much water in veg so the roots didn't grow as strong and followed the wrong advice on the amount of epsom salts. Far too much I found out later. First grow with My cob lights too and had them 16" and now moved down to 10". My next batch of plants (currently under 125watt CFL) will be 3 weeks old when they go in the tent. How high should I start the lights off ..... and when to lower them. This light science I have no idea about. No idea what to look for either .... let another thing to learn!
Now I water like this in coco to see if it gives me better results - In veg water coco like soil and in flower water coco like hydro. Not dead on there but .... that direction. Just need to work out how to use my light for best effectiveness.
