Advice?

grain of salt with this site. its a hot mess and legit dumpster fire. cocoforcannabis.com is not bad, good stuff.

Practice makes perfec

LST and do not defoliate. Every plant is an individual with its own specific needs and requirements..........there is no such thing as one care routine for evey plant you grow. If growing indoors, buy the best lights you can afford........lighting is everything. If new to growing, start with a couple of plants, don't try growing a whole pile of plants at once. Forget autos and grow real plants.........photoperiod fems! Always have a diary for your grows and fill it out completely if you are expecting to post questions and wanting the most correct answers. Realise you will make mistakes, you will get hermies and there will be failures.........but you will always be learning something. Never select "opinions" from people who obviously cut and paste AI googled answers. Write down EVERYTHING you do for future reference...........never trust details to your memory!

Ignore 11000111 he only talks dickhead!!!

Go to cocoforcannabis.com and read their articles and guides - least amount of bro-science nonsense, but do avoid the forums comments, lol. Read the important ones twice, if necessary. Even if you are not soilless/coco, there's a tone of useful information that applies to soil grows too. I didn't look at the diary. You should put more into the question if you want specifics. recognize that fertilization is a bit different for soilless growing, so take that stuff as a grain of salt. In the end the same amount of building blocks need to be delivered, so even that has parallels despite exact methods being slightly different.

Watch your plants grow and you will learn what to do naturally like a mother... Much love 💚..

Have fun with it. Practical advice: 1. your VS1000 is going to at best have a 2x2ft PAR footprint that is acceptable for good flower, might be best off throwing your plant/fixture in the corner of the tent. Some may say good flower is subjective but I think we all know good flower when we see it/smell it/taste it/use it. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for distance closely. Delivering that appropriate amount of light is going to lead to better crops (taste/smell/density). 2. not all breeders/vendors are equal, with the changes in the industry have come the vultures in packs 3. don't stress them young 4. basic recipe for me is to be careful when young, not mess around in veg much at all, flip them/guide them during preflower into their frames for flower rather than train them into the frame I want, do nothing stressful to them for the first 3 weeks of flower (preflower), defoliate the bottom third of the plant at 3 weeks in, give them a week or two or three, then lollipop them about 2 weeks from harvest, harvesting for max potency (not waiting for x% amber) Start getting comfortable with your environment and procedures. How often are you in your rooms, what is the average temp/RH/VPD day versus night, learn how to buffer your water correctly (and why we do this; see absorption ranges for macro/micro nutrients for cannabis along the pH scale), pick a nutrient line or vendor and stick with them for a while, try to even stick to a single cultivar for a while. Your routine and efficiency and eyes for growing will increase slowly over time, don't rush it. Even the folks with living soil beds that are 20 years old are still learning stuff. Your grow style will emerge naturally IMO.

Be nice to other people. Find someone you truly love. Eat healthy food and do some sports. 👌 As well, put the seeds out of the water at some time! 24h at max. 12h is okay.😅
