Just a few pointers for the fellow noobs that I found helpful being a first time grower, might add more as I think of them. Worth a read in my opinion. These are my autos at 4 weeks from seed.
1. Germination should take anywhere between 24 and 72 hours
1.5.The internet is your friend.
2. Calmag
3. No, leaving your efficiency closet light on for the plants will not work for anything more than a cute succulent size cannabis plant. - invest in a decent light to make the effort worth your time.
4. Calmag
5. Understand nutrients before you use them, if you don't understand them, don't use them until you do otherwise youll likely be posting a "why are my leaves burnt" thread soon after.
6. Leave them alone, you can check on them daily but don't go around manhandling them cause you just want to touch them. Won't do any good.
7. No, you should not just dig up a hunk of dirt from grandma's back yard and try to use it to grow cannabis, invest in some decent soil
8. NO MIRACLE GROW
9. Keep your plants at a reasonable temperature so they don't roast or freeze to death. That doesn't mean you have to go drop 200 on an air conditioner but just be mindful of what's going on.
10. Calmag
11. Your plants will only grow to the size their pot allows, so no you won't grow a pound from your 3 solo cup closet grows
12. As a noob I dont suggest messing around with defoliation, some low stress training will do you good though.
13. If you don't want nosey Nancy next door to cop a smell of your grow, invest in a carbon filter. Seriously.
14. Calmag
15. PH balancing is very very important. You'll avoid a lot of issues by doing this properly.
16. Dont suffocate your plants by shoving them in a hot closet and covering ventilation, they need to breathe too.
17. Don't water daily. Allow soil to dry out before adding more water.
18. Give water proportionate to the size of the plant, dont go and give a seedling a gallon of water
19. BE SMART - dont go around on socials flexing your grow to anyone and everyone that will listen, this will get you in trouble either legally or personally, workplaces are the CIA these days. Also you don't want to get robbed over a couple zips right?
