I too am a new grower. For the most part I'd say it was pretty easy. I've been through a bunch of problems and read forums when I had questions. Problems include, cloning(aero cloner), hermi trait with Durban poison(Quarantined them, cut off bananas when I see them, don't clone any more of them), Powder mold on my trainwreck(skim milk and water sprayed on foliage). I figured out which strain I liked best, so next is production. To see how fast I could run a plant through, I did a party cup plant. This plant was cut from mother plant to harvest in 57 days. 7 in cloner, 3 in veg., 47 flowering. The strain is Afghani Bullrider and has a 45 day flowering time. This is j+..maybe these hempy buckets Im hearing about. Good luck with your grow. Im giving rep+ for starting a great hobby.
