To all new/beginning growers

[yabatab]

I posted this on another thread but I think
this is the forum were it applies the best.
Because I think alot of new growers come
to this forum for growing tips.


Some growers get to complicated in their growing methods and take
all the fun out of it. Growing is meant to be enjoyed. My advice
to any new grower indoor or out door is to buy a simple grow
book Ed Rosenthal's books are the ones i enjoyed the most,
simple and to the point, and that if you are a beginner do
not expect some miraculous yield your first time around.
You will pick up little tricks of the trade with each grow and
over all make it an enjoyable experience not a stressful one.
Trying to fit all you have herd into your first go around will
only leave you in disappointment and possibly so feed up
that you give up on another try.
Keep it simple, good soil, an easy to grow strain, proper
lighting, and the right pH level plant foods for each
stage of growth is what you need to stick to. Do not
get caught up in complex growing methods when starting
out it will only lead to frustration. I want people to fall in
love with growing not having it become a chore.

Happy Growing To All!!!!!!!!!!!

Good point, that's why i dont think i'll ever really get into hydro, because i think for me it'd take the fun out of it, and make me seriously think if i can be bothered to keep going.

Good words man, good words and very true.

I first learned from the high yield guide for indoor growing by ed rosenthal.

Lip hydro isn't that hard.
You just have to be able to check on your plants once or twice a day.
My first grow was hydro.
And it wasn't that hard.
It just takes a little more attention.
If a pump dies or something you have to fix it right away.
But as long as you can measure stuff.
Hydro is easy.

I kinda prefer playing in the dirt more than pushin fluids.
Seems more....earthy.

I like soil..
I love pushing fluids!

I agree...I grow as a release...I come home from school/work have a stressed out day..go back and look at my plants and tend to them...my mind just completely lets go of all my stress....It good for your health..seriously....

I agree with pothead, very stress relieving to go and tend to your plants.

Some of the finished goods also helps!

I tried a singel plant with hydro once. It wasnt that bad but to much
fiddleing with lines sub pumps and correct pH levels. Soil is plant, water
feed, light and be happy.
