Simple tips: Don't skimp on the gear. Don't overfeed. Don't harvest early. Do check ph. Do use timers. Be a good human
TMB your a hero of mine. Thanks for the forum, thanks for the gear, thanks for the memories. What better time to express love than Memorial weekend. 1 final simple tip: Enjoy
...
You mentioned one of the most important simple tips. Be a good human. I can't tell you how bummed I am when I meet people that are assholes and then I find out they grow herb. I'm even more bummed when they're good at it. And I'm the most bummed when they're good at it and they know it. Nothing is worse than a grower thats a shitty person.
MY TIP for growing very good weed..
be with your plants, use your senses, listen, look, smell.
and a lot of love and care
never water when u dont need to, always water when u do, alwyays treat individual plants individually, what one varitey needs the other may not. the main thing ive found is maintain the plants metabolism via exact water techniques, if u can say water all 5 plants that need it and wait a half day to water the others that dont quite need it yet u really have something, the entire metabolism is water based, cant stress perfect watering enough and the patience to wait untill exactly when the plant ask for it, when u keep your plant in a high state of metabolism via allowing your medium to breath u get the best results, there is no depression in growth.
l.s.t, spread them apical dominant plant hormones to your advantage
tap water, it has cal mag n plants grow faster in it then pure water
im also thinking that keeping N not low but not at its max untill well into flower say week 5 , what i mean is that ive noticed buds are bigger on plants that arent pumped full of N at the switch(12/12) but gradually get it as the strectch calls for more, with sativas the n requirement will be greater and longer, just read your plants

pot snob chiming in .. lol ...
dunno how many times guys have dropped around with a sample they are proud of ,
and ive rudely said .. "ohh cool , thanks ill try that later " , and prolly give it to the next guy that drops around . hehehe ...
its often not how its grown , or what variety ,, but moreso was it properly ripe at harvest , and how was it handled after harvest ,,
ie the drying and curing ..
dunno how many lovely looking buds or samples of , ive seen that were spoilt by that ...
i always figure ,, if your going to spend months growing great cannabis ,, spend the extra time at the end to make it properly smokeable and pleasent in the pipe , its worth it ...
and your other pot snob mates will thank you ,, lol ...
Finally, and knowing some will not like to hear this, grow in coco, simply because you cannot flush soil properly, or at least anything like to the extent you can in coco.
well... better go organic, then you dont need to flush at all! (somebody had to say that, no?)
You can do organic in coco if you so wish, either way you will need to flush out your medium, organic nutes or not.
Also, in coco, IMO, it is far easier to get right 100% of the time IMO, you cannot overwater and it is very easy to dial in the right feed levels.
Every virgin grower I have helped start with coco has had 100% success, 1g/w of dank from the word go, now even the local growshop owner has converted. You can get really great results in soil, organically, but it is far harder and there is a lot more scope to get it wrong.
