Best and Worst noob mistakes?

Ok, first of all, I have read the 100001 questions and answers for noobs. I am simply asking, in your own word's remembering back to when you were a noob DOT DOT DOT COMA, What would you say would be the worst mistake that ALL noobs make?

over watering hahahah !

deciding that for some reason, their situation is different and only half as many cfms/btus/etc, are needed as everyone else. Then having heat and mold/fungus issues... and over watering.

Over-everything. Overwatering, overnuting, overthinking, overestimating, overcareful, overkill.

I would say the biggest noob activity is watering too often, so overwatering.

overwatering by far, people thinking that marijuana is actually plant and grows with water.. I mean yes it grows with water but marijuana being just a 'weed' it strives in starvation!!! so most noobs probably overwater, or think a plant can grow in a TINY POT.

Too much TLC. Gotta keep them happy, but don't fuck with 'em TOO much.

Don't miss the forest for the trees.

I think over-fertilizing. If something wasn't right, I figured it wasn't getting enough of a nutrient so I just kept giving it more. Funny thing is, even with the tremendous salt build up in the buds- it was still the strongest I ever did. It's all about the genetics way back then, not the crap that's available today.

Fucking brilliant all

Thank you. But not brilliant.

EVERYTHING in moderation

Over watering and over feeding. People burn their plants to death thinking that not enough food is causing their problem when it reality they are just watering too much then they water and feed even more then *enter fart noise here* the plant is dead, or burned beyond recovery

^^^^^^^^I agree but personaly for me it was dropping a fixture on my flowering girl.Straightened out paper clips and wire tie splint...yeah!

What would you say most noobs over re-act to?

Droop. NOT wilt, but simple droop.

Oh, AND advertising

Watching the calendar not the plant. And trimming to erly. Then asking what happend it said 8 weeks. I started befor it said how long to grow so I didn't Fo that but alot do. So let's see my noob mistake???? Overwatering and to much love. You gotta watch them but don't need to tuch them daily.

Planting seeds in already nuted soil.......guilty

dropping lights on the babies/ladies

getting paranoid and throwing your plants in the dumpster on a 95*+ day, then dumpster diving for them later that night and putting them back in your dwc.

Still a noob grower here and the thing that bothers me about me is that I'm super sensitive to my plants. I was mainlining my plants and I tore a new piece of growth off @ the base. Now I'm all worried because the inside leaves on that growth (the side torn) are smaller than the outside. Clearly the plant needs time to heal itself and recover but I get real impatient with it and I want to keep doing things to "fix" it. I go out there and talk to my plants and touch them real light and say happy things to them and cheer for them and shit. I'm sure I look like a strait up loon! Just thinking about the fact that the growth slowed on that plant makes me want to go try things but it's lights out in a bit so I'm gonna wait till wake up time. My first grow went great and I figured I had a green thumb but I'm finding out that the greeness come in time.




^ My last/first grow.

They pluck, cut, prune or otherwise remove fan leaves like they know more than the plant that produced them.

Panicing over simple stuff, watering/nuting too much, fucking with the plant too much..not reading up on cannabis.
