how newb am i allowed to be?

So, the guys i got growin now are mids... but it was pretty good mid, lots of tiny red hairs, when it broke apart, smelt like mid, but you could smell a faint kush aroma... and since this was my frist attempt, i didn't want to use good seeds anyway.
planted these seeds in tin cans, dirt from my flower garden area, that isn't anymore, and tap water. these guys look strong so far.. and i'm sort of winging on the idea that i want to try to grow them normally, without any ph or temp monitoring, just sort of on a whim.. i know that this isn't a great idea, however i want to know if it's even worth it? i'm really growing for the experience and learn good techniques to use later on, i sort of think that you should know your plant rather than ask it for information.
Let me know what you think, or if anyone has done it this way.

Couple things i think i know:
-They will produce a much lower yeild if i'm not keeping ph,temp,potassium,other nutrients at a perfect level, so i understand i could be sacrificing a good 30 grams from each plant.
-They could get sick, then id need to do health management using the meters and solutions as my source, so in the end, using them anyway...

growing them "normally" as you put it is growing half ass. A ph tester costs 5 bucks at home depot, get the ones with the red drops.
You grow to get the best smoke you possibly can, not to get some shwagg... Why risk growing some dirt weed?

Anything worth doing is worth doing right.. I understand the passion of growing your own but u need to read,read and read some more on the subject of growing do research learn everything u can about growing

Make sure have a fan and a clean room minimally. Also you can get black strap molasses to easily increase crystalization during the flowering period. Even shwagg can be beautiful. Heres a pic of my first grow with bag seed doing the basics with fan nutrients and ph and reflective material on walls in closet space.

Thanks guys, understood. I have been doing a lot of reading on it, since i started, i've noticed myself get more attuned to the plant health than just the idea of free smoke.
Might as well do it right, i'll pick up a ph meter and some other nutrients i found work well from previous threads.
Thanks again!

Green, that mid looks bitchin! i can only hope mine looks close to that =)
