its not hard man too many new growers overthink this plant way to hard it grows decently with bare minimums and good with decent care and great with good care. too many new growers overcare for the plants. its easy to grow buds it takes experience to control the environment thats the hard part if you ask me.
also dont try too many different things at once dont lst and scrogg etc the first few, just top them once or twice if you are comfortable with it and just flower them. i see new growers doing to much start in soil then 2nd grow go to hydro then talk about coco for the next lol pick one style and get good at it before switching it up. That being said Soil is the most forgiving medium for new growers imho
