Helpful tips

find good source material. i.e. be skeptical of forums and user-submitted stuff. Things that get repeated are not always true. A couple examples - flushing for harvest and not potting-up autoflowers. Sophistry... check out guides and articles on cocoforcannabis.com. Least amount of bro science i have found. Even if not a soilless grower, a lot of the ideas will still tranlate. soil is like learning to ride a bike, but every soil can be different. I'd suggest waiting for hints of deficiency before amping up fertilization. If you use the same products and you take notes abou ttiming and what happens at each step, you can pre-emptively start fertilizing at a well-informed time next grow cycle and each cycl after that. The cost will be minimal. A hint of deficiency will not cause any incremental difference that you can notice with your eye. The nutrients stored in the leaves will be a buffer / room for error. Stay simple to start.. form good baseline of expectation before doing esoteric stuff. Most gimmicks are nonsensical anyway.
