With my first grows back in the 1970's
I used to leave the dish under the plant full with water...
thats a big no-no, each time I did it,
I had to buy a meal for my mentor,....
times were tough
I was also guilty of root binding the plants in pots way too small,
to this day I too nag, as did my mentor..
1 us gallon of soil the plant is with you, 90 day grow = 3 us gallon
Above all my greatest 'sin' was not understanding Kelvin correctly,
and the importance of interior lights
re- 2700k and 6500k for correct internodel spacing ...
Some 'things' I did right...but only by luck,
like using my urine on vegging plants, 1x teaspoon per 1x us gallon
to great effect, also decomposing menstrual pads,
if available are a great source of (N)
But the toughest without doubt was getting hold of my first HIDS light
that was a very expensive, and dangerous affair,
with much blood lost, on both sides,
it was a 400wMh over a basketball court run by a nasty black gang
that really liked the light, ...
we won at great loss, at the time the light was worth $1500,
so the blood loss was justified ...
so whats your story..?
