Any recommended reading or websites before I start growing?

I have problems with your post.

SO many people come in here and have or are attempting to grow. They have a problem and ask for help. The problem comes from those who want us to hold their hand and walk them through the whole damn grow. These folks see a problem in a seedling throwing it's first leaves "What are these, and what's wrong with my plant?"

How many "stupid" (or simple) questions could have been answered by simply having read a book or 2 and knowing ahead of time!

How about that some of those books will teach you how to design and set up a quality growing area. That alone can cure or prevent a shit ton of problems down the road.. How about that it's easier to learn detailed things on growing by learning why you do something, or why the plant does something. You get far more and in far more depth from a book. Then from some unknown schlub, playing grow expert....

Find me a YT video that teach's the advanced agronomy used in the formulation of micro nutrient supplements that can be used to increase THC, or CBD in the end product!

Would you like to actually learn that? Go read Mel Frank's books! He opened the door to this practice, and while his initial formulations have been refined and improved. Without his books, we would never have known where to even start....

Video's are blurbs of basic info. Supplied by questionable (at best) source's. I've been directed to plenty and impressed by only a select few. Those were from writers of those books....

What next? Fucking, growing comics for the mentally challenged? Lots of pictures and a crayon to write notes with... No, WAIT! Growing video comic's! Better yet, Anime growing video comic's from Japan, on YT!

READ THE BOOKS! Actually learn things....
If only I had known legalization would have bought this about

normally many of the new members here would never ever broken the law and grown weed

those that did in the past had some semblance at least of street knowledge

and worked hard to be good secret growers

as they knew the penalty for getting caught

without that fear factor its become extremely arrogant... even lazy

and the way Braden, has used the web to inquire is no biggy even normal

but at least he's honest ...Its us that got to adjust to the times Doc

and yeah sometimes

we get to know something different too

good luck

OP, you may be the first newbie who has ask what to read. You will be fine. My advice to all new growers is to pop a dozen or two bag seeds, and learn by doing. Getting that first grow under your belt, with it's ups and downs, is less stressful when the seeds are free.

Good luck.
