Write down EVERYTHING you do for future reference.............don't trust your memory!
Mycorrhizae should be an essential ingredient.
Fulvic acid, humic acid and amino acids are your friends.
18/6 is optimal...........ALL cannabis plants NEED sleep.........(obviuosly 12/12 for flowering photoperiod plants)
Photoperiod fems are far better for new growers..........autos can be difficult to get good results with for new growers.
Low Stress Training is also your friend...........better than topping in my opinion.
Water deeply and thoroughly until run off then do not water again until the top inch and a half is dry, be this half a day or 10 days.
Gentle feeding is better than heavy feeding.
A schedule of plain water/plain water/fertilizer works well for soil grows...........something that I have proven to myself over the last 35 odd years.
Buy quality, big name breeder branded seeds, not generic bargain basement "no name" seeds for seed distributors.
Accept that mistakes will be inevitable.
Don't waste time on "maybe" seedlings..........only grow on fit and healthy specimens.
Always plant more seeds than you think you will need in case of dud seedlings..........and yes, they will happen.
Humidity domes are only for clones, seedling do not need them!
Defoliation is a no-no.
There are no short cuts or magic snake oils to turn mediocre plants into super killer plants.
Hard work and attention to detail will pay off.
Grow space hygiene is mandatory........dead leaves and shit everywhere will attract pests and diseases.
Hermies are a fact of life and are best culled........sacrifice one to protect the rest.
Succes is earned, it can not be generated from theory.
