I already know that I'm not doing it 'right'. I have a texas controller topping off a single bucket. It's absurd the amount of equipment I have invested. I'm your typical white boy who has the money to spend to get the best equipment. I've been trolling craigslist and caregivers and old friends for equipment.

Most growers would argue that the best stuff comes from soil. I got two clones from a guy, one soil and one hydro, and the hydro just took off. Seems easier to me to use hydro for the first time. I think I over fed the soil plant.

I didn't want to spend the money on seeds ($100-$300 for ten), so I bought a clone.

I am not interested in making a thread for you all to come and make fun of my grow. I am only interested in spending less money on medicine, and growing my own will help with that. It's pretty cool to be able to eventually smoke my own herb. It's going to be fun and interesting to deal with problems/pests/curing/harvesting etc. I took that soil plant and practiced clones, I got about 50. I have the best 12 in grodan cubes, waiting to see what the hell I am going to do next.

So no, I won't be starting a grow log. I have enough of a journal to keep track of at home.

I'm having trouble seeing the differences between nutrient deficiency versus over feeding, so I need a tds meter. For one plant. That's absurd, but it's an upgrade I'll need eventually, so might as well get it now. But any large scale grower would say, 'wtf are you doing with one plant, a texas controller, and a tds meter?' Or something.

I'm happy to answer any questions if you have them, I just don't wish to start a thread that's about me. That seems selfish, and I'm not trying to brag, I'm only trying to not kill my plant.
