Girl Scout Crack 1st grow

Since I am nearing the end of my grow I wanted to share with everyone some mistakes I made. I am stoked with the how the plant has developed to date, but even more excited to start my second grow. 1. Fill your pots to the top with soil and place your plants up near the surface so your roots have as much room as possible to grow. When you soil the soil will further compress. What you save in soil $ you sacrifice in yield. 2. Understand your nutes (that name still cracks me up). Shit still confuses me, and two of my plants developed leaf issues. 3. Buy a decent PH measuring stick. It's makes a big difference since PH is the starting point for nute deficiency/burn. 4. Don't rely on the internet to solve your leaf issues. Find a quality source and understand the method for diagnosing a plant. 5. Buy Jorge Cervantes Indoor/Outdoor medical marijuana grow bible. It has everything you want to know for the $10 kindle version on amazon. I unfortunately did not get it until my tenth week and regret it. 6. In veg you can treat it like a weed and it'll recover, but in flower you want to be gentle. I was a little rough with mine the first weeks of flowering and wish I hadn't touched them because it seems like it might have slowed the growth down a bit. 7. Understand it's a long haul. 4/30 will be my fourth month growing and I still will have at least another month after that before I get an to the end product. 8. Have fun with it and try different shit out. If you grow multiple plants try different techniques like topping, trimming, etc.
