t8s into t5s into HID [start veg flower] is a great. never let them get bone dry as air pockets occur and watering sucks. Its easy to nuet burn and just as easy not to. Co2 is a must. I dont like LST compared to topping or fimming. I like a combo of 5 to 7 gallon buckets not one or the other. A fan per light keeps plants very happy. Rotate your flowering ones 1/4th once a day around the same time each day to prevent retardation in some areas. You will get bugs. Azamax is amazing. Neem is a nice prevention thing but not a solution. You can DIY alot of things. LEARN TO TROUBLE SHOOT!

I found that in Hydro when the pH continually goes down half a point each day along with the ppm going down the plants are hungry and you need to raise your ppm

Haha, I was SO excited my first harvest. I started the cutting and trimming grinning and excited. Fifteen minutes later I was thinking, oh wow this is getting monotonous. Twelve hours later I was thinking, next time I need to include a friend or two.

How to read my plants.
To research each strain before i grow it.
Never trust a first time trimmer with your beautiful buds! (wtf did u do!)

I learn something new everyday, what works for one person may not work for another.
And if it's not broken, then don't try to fix it!:peace:

this is what i have learned not about bud but more about life. Tool 46&2
My shadow's
shedding skin and
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in

My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
And insecure delusions.

I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured within

My shadow
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six and two ahead of me.

I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through.

I choose to live and to
Lie, kill and give and to
Die, learn and love and to
Do what it takes to step through.

See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty six and two are just ahead of me

i know this is not what the original meaning if the post was about but if it helps some one then so be it if not just enjoy the music while really baked, it will envelope you.

I'm a newb, but I discovered cutting small seedlings and cuttings out of the 2x3 trays is better than just trying to slide them out with gravity and a bit of tapping/pressure.

You only need Floranova bloom to get 8.1 zips out of one plant using a waterfarm. Although others have done this I didn't believe it till I tried it and found out for myself. From now on it's my waterfarm and only ONE bottle of ferts not 10.

Actually, the micron bags save you money. Especially if you make high-grade gumby where every gram is important.

i learned to spend the extra 40 bucks on the better bubble bags... that are mostly a screen.. like 100 bucks for a pack..

i bought a cheap set.. made hash... saved the water from the first... did it threw the 100 dollar bags... and got another 8 grams.. dont skimp on bubble bags.. u make ur money back off the first couple grams..

and then u have em for like almost ever..

and

i learned that this is way more then an expensive hobby.. its a fulltime job.. so if u dont have the time and or willing to do the work .. dont bother growing.. cause im sick of the shitty buds going around wen i run out of mine/.!!! and hash.. i bought a gram lastnight.. for 20 bucks.. he usually sells30 to everyone else but hes a friend.. so ... anyways.. he gets it from his friend who gros.. so i was like sweet its going to be good.. nope.. its like the wierdest looking shit i ever seen.. and takes 2 times as much to get high .. .. and he has to use a diff method/. cause this is not bubble hash.. bubble is nice and clean.. and this is not

Using all those bags at once is a lot of work. Plus you have the different "grades". I found that if you use the 160 bag as a filter for the gumby method then all of your hash will bubble with only doing a quarter of the work of using all the bags.

Slow siphon works best.

-I learned growing is awesome , trimming sucks.
-Edibles can make you soo high you feel drunk (at times)
-take care of the bugs before they destroy your crop.
-take time to get a good strain/genetics because if you don't you will waste time/money on growing some bullshit !
- ELECTRIC IS A BITCH !
