But so am I ! - Air flow is very important ...buy a good fan -Light distance is extremely important leaves can get sunburned and even the intensity of the light can do damage -stressing out a plant ... over bending a branch....can turn the female into a male -1 Plant in 1 square meter can grow the same as 4 in the same space -600 watts was too much for my space 400 watts was more temperature and light intensity wise better -had Foxtailing do to hight temps 80 F -i should only add nutrients once a week top up with water only during the week not more nutrients . change water once a week -i man handle my ladies too much ... was hard not too lol -I can gender seeds and plants now -PH is Huge in a Hydro grow. I had to remove one plant as it hermied and because I had 4 plants in one bucket i could not remove the roots ....the PH went crazy dro pping everyday i checked and i ph d up once a day ....it was a battle ... but I was able to keep it between 5 and 7 /// it would drop t0 under 5 at times ....I thought i was gonna get beat on the grow ....but we made it through -if light and temperature arent consistant ...your buds wont be as well -I learned how to read and understand trichomes.... important for potency and couchlock which i perfer -I learned how ompotant defoliating is -I stay in veg stage to long for the space I had available caused alot of issue ...stretch is an understatement with this grow .. trained them sideways best i could or they would have fried -Start out simple dont complicate things and make it stressful . add extra equipment and Nutrients when you start getting the hang of it ...try different ways ...because The biggest thing I learned was ...................there is so many ways to skin a cat especially when it comes to Marijuana ..... pay attention to the things that work . -Most importantly Live , Love and Laugh ..............Lifes too short .
