The clueless first grow

Super happy with this grow, I learned soo much and I'm really looking forward to putting all that knowledge into practice in the future. The whole point of this diary was to see just how hands off you can be when growing your own bud and I think I can safely say that it only needs to be as difficult as you want to make it. Let me explain, I really didn't put much effort in to this grow, the only training I did was introducing a scrog net and occasionally poking a side branch through a new square. As far as nutrients go, I definitely didn't use anywhere near the amount I see some people using and I never checked things like EC and ppm. The pot I planted in was about half the size most people would recommend. My grow light is regarded as the "budget option" (budget option or not I really can't recommend it enough), my soil was the cheapest stuff I found at the garden center and I still have a harvest that I'm proud of when all I really did was plant the seed, make sure she had a decent amount of light and fresh air, make sure the Ph didn't get too out of whack, watered her when she needed it and add some nutrients. She took care of the rest 😀 All of the above isn't to say that there isn't any point in spending more money or time on your grow! There are countless grows on here that are absolutely amazing, and I will definitely continue to learn from them but for people like me, who just want to grow some weed and don't have the time to go in to every fine detail which you need to do to justify buying the top of the line stuff, you can just plant the seed and follow these easy steps 1: Water when she needs it, not when some guideline say's you should 2: The importance of correct Ph can't be overstated 3: Do some training, even if it's just a scrog net 4: Do give some nutes but keep in mind less is more 5: When in doubt ask for help on here! In closing I would like to thank everybody who followed this diary and answered my grow questions, you are all awesome!! Happy growing everybody!!
