List three things you learned from last grow.

Old post lol that was my first serious run. I learned a couple runs later that budtrimmers mess up hash dumpers. I use my pheno for flower rosin only and found it was taking half the yield basically.
Hand trimming I went from 12% to 15-19%. I had strains that you could do anything to and will still get you high but if it dumps hash it can lose substantial amount of potency.

Them bud trimmers suck. Another thing is I learned to trim them by hand even faster than a bowl trimmer. Just get good genetics of low leaf to calyx ratio which is good stuff anyway.
Now that I harvested a couple pounds by hand its even faster. Like 8oz in 3hrs. What I dont get is you typically trim it a little then buck buds into trimmer but its already mostly trimmed right then and there. So the machine actually takes longer, about 4 hrs for 8 oz where as now its 3 hrs for 8 oz so its slightly faster.
Thats with me moving casually too.

Part 3.
1. Do not overthink your grow - ANY grow.
Its a plant … it doesn’t need special handling or extra supplements. It doesn’t need special water.
2. There are NO cannabis specific nutes.
Stop drinking the koolaid when buying fertilizer.
You do not need an entire line of nutes to grow a single plant. Especially if you are doing simple indoor grows. You can grow an entire run on a simple 5-5-5 general purpose dry fertilizer or for Hydro ( maxigrow / maxibloom for example ) 2 part.
No need for a hundred bottles of fluff. Keep money for better lights , better tent , etc.
3. Patience- Patience - Patience
Plant does not give a shit about calendars or weeks. It is in drivers seat and will finish when it finishes. No amount of “ boosters “ or youtube BS will change that.
Learn basic gardening and you will be fine.
Lastly - enjoy the ride and smoke a shit ton of weed.

1) The Cure is one of the most, If not the most important part of the process. 60/60 or make a cannitrol on the cheap for a foolproof way. Game changer for me. Sweet thread in the harvest section, koolatron or ghettotrol.
2) Don't take a vacation for 2 wks in the middle of flower and let your brother in law check on things while you are gone.
3) Res changes every week are severely overrated.

1. Don't water by hand. Use hydro halo rings and setup an irrigation system to save time.
2. Use more dehumidifiers to prevent bud rot in the late flowering stage.
3. Smoke more weed and make more money

1. Lights off temps can be pretty cool when running 1000w HID.
2. Some plants really don't suit being in a tent. Find a new cutting.
3. Have a backup for measuring pH. Don't be an amateur and get stuck in the mud.

1 Some plants do NOT have the proper morphology or stretch for heavy training. Do what the plant wants to do, don’t force it to do what you want it to do, or it might just respond with “nah, fuck you”.
2 The final smoke test is the only test that REALLY matters for “keepers”. Be ready to pop a lot of seeds, and kill a lot of plants.
3 You’re never too experienced to learn something from every grow.

1. Introducing worm juice 3 weeks in can burn a sensitive strain.
2. Gaia Green dry amendments are mild, easy to top dress into soil, and really cut down on mixing and last 3-4 weeks with just regular watering.
3. Adding UV light during late flower weeks 6-9 did make plants even sticker than normal with crazy extra oils and aroma.
