I'm pretty sure I read one of these on here but here is $0.01 of my $0.02.
1. There is A LOT of inaccurate information on RIU and forums in general that is presented as truth. The vast majority of what is posted should be taken with a grain of salt (including this thread ). That being said I have found about five (yes, only five) people whose information I do trust.
2. Learn to read your plants to understand what they need.
3. NPK-Not much else needed than that
4. Feed veg and bloom nutes in flower (veg at a lower ratio to bloom nutes)
5. Cal/mag deficiencies were common for me so adding Calmag really helped
6. Expensive nutrients/boosters are not worth the hype.(check out dynagro)
7. In a limited size space, fewer plants can yield the same (or greater) as multiple, crowded plants.
8. Formula for big yields - Bigger pots=bigger roots=bigger yields. Additional veg time can help here as well.
9. High PPMs are unnecessary
10. Flushing is unnecessary at harvest (no debate needed)
11. Optimizing grow conditions is more important than more lights/nutes/etc.
12. Big lights require big fans
13. Pull air, dont push it
14. DWC is easy if you can keep your res temp managed
15. Oxygen is your friend in the root zone. The more oxygen, the bigger and better your root mass will be.
16. At harvest, understanding where the hay smell comes from and how to prevent/overcome it is difficult the first few times.
17. Drying slowly in the summer can be a challenge
18. Top
19. Supercrop
20. Lollipop
Cheers,
Surreal
