first grow everrrr

@sorethumb, haha I’m probably the last guy you should take growing advice from. Though I do see your pots sitting on that flat tray. I’m of the opinion in a fabric pot you need to have some air circulation under there also helps with not letting your pot fester in it’s own juices. I would look at getting some pot risers. They sell anywhere from 5-10 bucks. I agree with you though it is so much fun watching them grow.

@sorethumb, oh man I’m just on my first grow making my own mistakes. I’m definitely in no position to give sound growing advice. I’m just hooked as well and enjoying the ride and learning. I definitely agree with you it is fun. Rewarding and challenging. Few grows under our belts and we’ll be on our way. Ok I see you have your pots directly flat on your tray. I’m of the opinion that you need air flow underneath so that the fabric pot doesn’t fester in its own juices and get a chance to dry out and deliver some sweet oxygen to those roots. I would look for some pot risers. They can be found online for 5-10 bucks each. But again I don’t know your irrigation habits so it could be fine for you. That’s my growing tip.

@Papa_T, u know it… it’s just ridiculously fun! gotta keep the zeal reigned in and remember it’s a hobby 🤣 thanks for taking the time🤘 im open to any and all comments tips suggestions… i just wanna nerd out

@sorethumb, Yes sir. I Like it.

@sorethumb, yeah for sure. Don't be afraid to something different. Making mistakes is part of the fun of getting better. I had soil issues and ph issues my first grow. The plant may look small but she looks healthy. I'm finding things I change about my technique all the time just because of the feedback I get from the plant. Stay frosty brother!

@Mr_Horse, thanks for the input! i agree. she’s been a little stunted the whole time. in my limited knowledge- my soil was bad from the start. i messed up and it doesn’t drain well. messed up w too little perlite. so i’ve overwatered for sure. and i definitely got overzealous w defoliation. i figured since i messed up from the start, i wanted to see how little different stressors affect it. i dont have the highest expectations. just high hopes and having fun. but want to learn and improve, naturally. my next one should be better….. starting a good soil foundation. not crap

@JamesBarre, i hope to see this one through in its entirety. i hope i don’t kill it and can get a proper dry and cure. just hoping be able to go through the steps with some sort of enjoyable success 🤘

@JamesBarre, damn these klutzy hands! next will be better! softer touch. proper tools. better prepared now. and more attention to my soil for next one too. thanks for the insight!
