how long did it take you

to get growing down
like to learn it right
to be able to grow a plant with little if no trouble
i mean starting out this shit seems pretty hard going on a month and a half and my plants arent even 4 inchs
its scary to think i even try anymore
but ill never quit
if it takes years to perfect ill do it

It's hard to say how long it takes anyone. Some people do great on their first grow and the next one is a bitch. It's a constant learning experience because every strain and sometimes every plant is different. You say your plant is still small. What type of light are you using?

ive been growing now for 3 to 4 years... it took about 2 grows to get soil down for me.. which was over about 6 months.. i had some trouble after that.. but nothing that was in my control...

i just recently changed from soil to hydro and switched grow room locations.. i ran into some issues during the setup and change over of everything.. and had a little bit of learning to do with the hydro.. but having the experiences to go from before, and the knowledge i had gained throughout my grows, it was much quicker and easier to understand and fix my problems (1 month)...

I have been growing nearly a year and still don't have it right. Thanks to riu I am much better than I used to be.

1.5 months and only 4"? What kind of lights are you using? Some strains start slow, but that is much slower than most. The more info you can give the more help you can get.

i've been growing 9 months and am still learning new things everyday. i do find the simpler i keep it the less problems i have

How far away from the plants are the lights? Soil or hydro? What kind of nutes?

My dude, go to the FAQ section and if you have questions that can't be answered there come back and i'm sure you can get all the help you need. You will have to provide specifics as to your grow conditions and so forth, but I like your never give up attitude.

a month and a half and still not over 4 inches?? I would rip that plant up and start a new one but thats jst me....make sure your soil ph is correct u want it it to be a lil under 7.0 i keep my ph at 6.5...and what kind of soil are you using??? dont use tap water or at least let it sit out for 24 hours b4 you water your plant with it.... make sure your bulbs are putting out the right spectrums of light....are they daylight bulbs?? those are jst some common mistakes i made with my first soil grow.....hope this helps
