5 mistakes most new growers make.

Look, to all new growers, my advice is, chill out for real. A lot of times you guys create more problems than you should.


Calm down and let things work themselves out.

Great post for the noobs or thick skulled.

Do not love your plants to death.

Seriously.

First grow here...I basically let them grow wild in pots except for some generic nutes and keeping rain off them. They are looking great. No PHing soil LSTing or super cropping. I grow other plants in a container garden as well, mostly tomatoes and herbs so watering properly is key. Looking forward to a harvest in a few weeks.

That's great!
Growing wild in pots sounds... interesting.

What are the generic nutes?
What are the rates that you apply them?
How long do you cook your soil?

Inquiring minds want to know...

I used mostly miracle grow for vegging, the other I can’t recall. Using something else for flower, it’s a liquid and it’s not within reach right now so the name escapes me. I fed them every 2nd watering. Don’t know the rates. It seems to have worked. Cook the soil? ...had to google that one. I did use a fair amount of mushroom compost a local nursery was big on.

Right now it’s a fight to keep them dry in this wet weather to prevent rot. I have to move them under cover a lot, every night because of heavy dews. My brother in law a few streets over already harvested his plants due to rot.

I've been spraying my outdoor plants with a fungicide every morning and it seems to be keeping mold & mildew in check.
