Just wanted to pop in and introduce myself. After months of research and educating myself I finally pulled the trigger and I am currently in week 5 of my first grow. Holy hell is this an absolutely fun hobby that I didnt know I needed. The amount of information to learn and digest is almost as fun as the grow itself. Both very challenging and rewarding at the same time. I kick myself for having waited this long to get into it. I dont even consume that much cannabis but I figured growing it would add a new element and give me a lot more insight into the plant. Anyway, hope all the other new growers are enjoying this as much as I am. Cheers!

Yeah, totally different than growing tomatoes ain't it?

I had low expectations for what I'd be able to accomplish in the garden. I couldn't be more stoked with how it's gone.

You're going to learn a lot about the plant. If you grow a variety of them you'll grow accustomed to the thiols and then you'll start smelling all the unique notes of individual plants that hide behind the thiols. If I open a jar, my wife just smells skunky weed and I smell the fruity aroma of the terps. That's an example of how your nose will get tuned just by being around it all the time.

Best of success to you, and be sure to stay engaged here. Got a sexy looking plant, share a pic! Having an issue? Ask others here. Chances are one of us has been through what you're going through and can help get you back on track if things are going south.

Good idea Fen and welcome.
