I completely agree! I'm almost done with my first grow and I already have soooo many plans on how to improve next time around. I've become kinda obsessed. Lol

Glad im not the only one who feels like they have been obsessing. There is something therapeutic about it as well. Watching them start from seed or clone and eventually up to the point of having massive buds. I've been building my 2002 wrx for 5 years . And have found myself taking a break from building it to pursue this newly found hobby lol

That's so funny you said that! Ive been building a '13 genesis coupe and Ive gotten so distracted with this grow that I have a stack of parts I haven't gotten around to installing. Haha.

Badass man! Those genesis sound so fucking good. Love the body style. I literally just picked up my Subaru from my tuner a few days ago. Had a stage 2 shortblock built. Forged piston rods yada yada. Still on my break in tune. There's always room for 2 hobbies in my opinion. Haha. Atleast with our hobbies , one has the possibility of financing the other haha. What state you living in bud?

I'm in Nevada, carson city area. I'm a super big car guy. I go to SEMA every year and dwell on all the beautiful cars I'll never have. Haha. I got a semi rich brother though so I can still experience some of the high life. Lol He just finished a cts-v build at 860 whp. Thing is an absolute monster.
Hope you the best of luck on finishing your subie. I've ridden in a couple fully built subies and they can be pretty badass. Great motor to work with.

You in carson? Wtf. No way. The chances of that are downright impossible. Haha
Man I would love to meet up and talk grow stuff sometime. That's the one thing I always think about... wishing I knew other people who were growing to bullshit with and bounce ideas off of. Drop me a message in my profile if you're for real.

Definitely bro. A 600 would do better for cheaper initial cost.
Training, I believe, is one of the biggest contributing factors as far as yield is concerned.

Dude, I started growing like 3 years ago, thinking "All I'm going to have to do is read shit on this forum and do the minimum and I'll be growing like a pro this first grow!" Shiiiet, was I mistaken.
My first grow was complete shit, but each consecutive grow has always shown improvement in some aspects whether it be training, nute issues, heat issues, early harvesting, etc.
I don't know when I'll ascend to the God status of a decent portion of members on this board, but it will be something I'll continue to strive for till I do.
Like you said, there's so many variables that need to be dialed in, but it's the best feeling to keep progressing.
Pretty much everyone who uses HPS lights...its my first grow i know nothing

longer veg time and aggressive training are the easiest ways to get higher yield I have grown with T5s,HPS and LEDs and with the right strain they will all grow plants. grower knowledge and skill is the most important factor and no amount of money can replace that.a $2000 led is not going to turn a novice into an expert. only time and work will do that

Here is a little update on my afghani #1's. About day 37 of flowering. Buds are dense not fluffy at all. There are still new pistils growing and one plant looks to be a it slower than the other. I vegged 9 weeks because of my auto grow that I was finishing. These girls got tall for my grow room. 
I'm positive a cob system would be a huge improvement. One day I'll upgrade.

Well said man! My first almost turned out disastrous. But the experience has helped me greatly.this second grow is going much better.
Lovely buds In my opinion..these leds are not as bad as people will make you believe

It's the plant sucking nutrients ( nitrogen mostly ) for the lower usually low light receiving leaves. It's normal but can become a problem if it creeps to the top of the plant. So if theyre only the lower low light leaves your fine.Help me out guys...58days since 12/12 flip..getting a few of these leaves every couple of days?? Is that magnesium deficiency??or does the plant drop leaves naturally through age? Any help would be greatly appreciated
I just went through the same thing on all my plants and they're doing great.
Also you'll notice when people flush at the end of flower all the leaves will do this as the plant suvks up the remaining nutrients.

Thanks loads...was hoping it was thatAs a matter of fact here's what I just pulled from my tent
if it did creep up to the higher leaves would you add a nitrogen supplement?

I had been running into the same issue, just upped my ppm for flower nutes (running botanicare pro) and Cal mag+.. worked like a charm.. the really yellow ones dropped but the rest are recovering... If you are on week 8 (56day) you should be flushing already or very soon depending on strain.Thanks loads...was hoping it was that
