As odd as this sounds I find the opposite to be true. It's hard to learn unless you actually get to experience some problems/issues. For example a person who's never seen a rootbound plant should probably experience a few first hand as they can throw up multiple symptoms. This will help them immediately identify that problem in the future.

the better your chances of success.
I can't argue with that. Although I feel I learned alot in a very short time; if you take my plant death to success ratio it definitely is much higher on the death side. I'd say to the tune of 20:1. hehe but now I feel very confident and self sufficient in my grow and future grows to come. Which is a great feeling. :thumbsup:
