Had to beat Sea to posting her own chart. Wish I had it earlier.

Also, the guy at the grow shop does NOT have your best interest in mind.

 

[Kitsune Nyx]

Oh that's BRILLIANT!
TY!!

Start out with a easy water/tea only soil and get the hang of that before ever thinking about more advanced methods that require measuring stuff and keeping certain parameters in line.

That would be my main advice to a noob

Since I still think of myself as a card toting NOOB...
the KISS principle is SPOT ON!

Steady & slow wins the race.

Is that like

Fat and skinny had a race
up and down a pillow case.
Fat fell down and broke his face
And that's how skinny won the race.

...& while I'm thinking of it...

Don't give up!
She may look like hell, you may think it's not worth it, but even on a bad day-
there's still hope.

I've got a rat issue & no leaves as of two days ago. Today, she's greening back up.
*channeling Bob... everything's gonna be alriiiite*

Someone once told me ,"When in doubt, PH it out" . KISS is what sticks with me though .

I agree. always check ph before freaking out. and when in doubt flush it out and start again.

Great thread.

I wish I had known to water to runoff. Early on I could never finish solid because of salt buildup. No worries with organics!

 

[caveman4.20]

Take your time with watering with few exceptions slower the better:bookworm:
