My First Grow! Gelat.OG and Critical+2.0

keep it simple until you get some good healthy seed to harvst grows down... then worry about gimicks and expensive products that promise things with virtually no evidence to support it, lol.... having a baseline before you try these things will make it more easily discernable whether they actually helped at all.. or just stroking ppl's egos and elying on them avoiding buyer's remorse and recommending it to others, bwahahah.. be systematic about light levels and how you fertilize to start,... keep track of age of plant and power of light / height of light etc etc.. this stuff will be similar each time given same environment. know what you fed... the products you used.. (looks like rockwool / hydro so even easier to do!!) since oyu are hydro, i'd keep track of you ppms of n/p/k/ca/ mg/ s ... at least calculate it once and doesn't need to be done each time you make tiny adjustments -- you may even play mad scientist with different mixes fo different stages of life. I stick to just affecting conentration while retaining ratios for most part and that works well. sometimes have to dip N in bloom 5-10%, but i am probably pushing N before that point and could easily be a slow buildup too. because i track what i feed, it's super easy to diagnose anything i see and make a quick confident adjustment to a known formula that woks well on 90-percent or more of plants i have geminated. in my exp the plant's genetics are 95% of it. of the other 5%, it is mostly us not stepping on our own dicks (or flaps).

@SuperCoolFungi First of all welcome to a brand new hobby that I think you will find extremely rewarding I know I do!! Now don't be too stressed about achieving massive yields on your first grow and instead try to get a feel for how the plants respond to different things set a routine for feeding checking ph/ec etc that benefits both you and the plants dont be too impatient when they are nearing harvest they will be better if you let them finish properly Also don't be tricked into buying all of those un needed extras for hydroponics like sweeteners and other additives they are'nt needed and are there simply for the manufacturers to make $$ Lastly READ READ and READ some more preferably from experienced growers that have grown more than just a handful of plants

High bro, When you grow inside a DWC system your best guidline is to measure everyday. Measure your pH, measure your EC, measure the temperature. The DWC is a beautiful way to grow and the best way to be fully in control about your grow. I would read a lot on websites like rollitup, the website of seeds breeders usually have some good tips and ofcourse growdiaries. The beauty of this website is that you can search for diaries from the strain that you use. Or filter your diaries on only DWC system diaries to learn from them! Goodluck with your new hobby and Happy Growing! 😋
