Just remember these things in Order

LIGHT....

Metal Halides... CFL'S.....flours. (THESE will only get you through Veg)
Those lightss mentioned are blue and white and they get height...
ABOUT 16-24 hours of light (I prefer 16hr. On 8 off during veg.) because plants make food in the dark which makes the roots healthy..
If you use only these lights through the whole grow ur ass is gonna be waiting ages during bloom for a crap yield.

HPS (RED LIGHT) You need this in your blooming and want lotsa red because it tricks the hormones of the plant... I'm not an exact scientist but I know this shit works...

You want HPS as a supplementary light throughout a whole grow
(depending on what ya want.. Blue light=Tall Red Light = Bud)
So you can actually make a plant short and fat or tall and fat vise versa you just gotta figure out ur lighting........

Your plants will not have good bloom without RED LIGHTS HPS specifically

Next remember: HEAT IS AND ISSUE.... 68-75 Is where I like it.. less is good more is ok, but plants all react differently...


Nutria

Use organic all the way through for your first go
It's way more forgiving.. you wont burn your plants (chemical burn)
And transplant.. your ph gets all messed up.. especially when you use nutrients.. they tend to drop your ph so.. really watch out for signs of burning if use chems.. the leaves will get all shrivled and curled (theres grow nutria and bloom nutria btw... and if you do use non organic.. use organic in budding cause it gives you way nicer smell girth all that)


Water... yup easy enough to remember,. they do like to be soaked but make sure the water can drain.. f it sits in the pot ur either gonna end up with the dreaded root rot :P among other things.. They do like to be soaked :P but run it out


Sterile.. keep it clean.. fungi bacteria... alll that WILL RUIN YOUR MENTALITY
It sucks and it has or will happen to every grower.. so don't use same soil over ever... dont come in contact with them if ya have all kindsa nasty grime on you from work or whatever.. keep the walls clean with bleach.. wipe up floors vacuum all the dead leaves and dirt and shit up... Seriously you get bugs anything your gonna lose ur cool!

I dont know what else to say.. Im tired

Oh Yeah lights should be like 12 on 12 off in budding.. ur imitating nature by doing this and make the plant actually go through a hormonal reaction.. dont just cut ur lights either dimming is a good thing if you can get em..

Yeah Im too tired to type and I just rambled probably some stuff that doesnt even make sense to ya
