What would be your class itinerary? What tools would you say every grower shohld have? List of definitions? Basic info, do's, donts, and so on. I ask bc there is a group here in san diego who for a small fee will come to your home and teach you to grow. But, since its abusiness, i kno they are in it to make $ so, what should one expect? I kno every one is different, but there has to be some basics right?

Might be a scam. They come to your house, set up your grow for you, walk you throw a little bit of growing, then they wait until you have a decent harvest and come back when your not home. They know the place, they helped you set up your grow. You gonna call the cops and tell them the guys you hired to come show you how to grow marijuana and set up your grow area robbed you?

I would do a lot of research on the forums and start growing and learn as I go. In fact, that's what I did do, lol.

Yeah i say you shouldn't include anyone u don't know in your growing. Some of my closest friends don't know. You can learn enough to get started on this forum and online. There's plenty of people here that would help you get started.

Don't tell anybody.

Loose lips sinks ships.

SETUP


Buy cheap shit and it will bite you on the arse.

overkill is better than underkill, you can raise a 600w light if too much, ya can't turn up a 150w if not enough.

Exhaust and ventilation is key.

Don't under estimate the space you will need.


THE GROW


If your not fully committed don't bother.

Chose a strain that suites your level of competency. Different strains are more forgiving than others.

Don't love em to death. ie overwatering, over feeding, too much light.

Be prepared. Have treatments ready for insects, mold, defficiencies etc. If ya get spidermite, easily treated if quick, once infested ya got a much bigger and longer job on ya hands.

Be kind to your roots, easiy forgotten. Good soil mix (if in soil), Rhitzotonic or similar suites all grow medium.

Easy on the nutes, not too early and fuck what it says on the tin, gradual increase from low dose.

A good stress reliever... Superthrive or the likes.

IMHO a bud booster is a must.

HARVEST.

Be patient, harvest at the right time. Don't go early, the final weeks are the fattening weeks and you can lose loads if early.

Curing...... do it and do it right. Miss it and expect a bag of shite.


There is loads more to add but got things to do, am sure others will interject and rip my views.

Read, read and re-read the plethora of great info here and you won't need to take a class. But they might get you to "try this" or "try that" at 25 bucks a bottle so you could be right.

Godsgift,

I agree with the many people who have advised you not to tell anyone what you are doing. Instead, you can find a voluminous amount of great expertise that comes from experience in this and several other great forums. High Times (not to take any attention away form RIU, this is my #1 choice) has several very reputable forums as well. I have found some experienced growers who have been kind enough to give me first hand, specific advice to particular questions I have had, and it has the benefit of
1: it's free
2: you can find exactly what you are looking for, whatever you are going through, someone else already has and posted pics about it!
3: no one knows who you are
4: when you become more experienced you can give it back as well and help some poor nubie trying to figure it out, which is the greatest gift.

In short, keep it on the DL and spend your money on supplies, not information. After all, this is 2011 and we have the internet! Don't re-invent the wheel, ride on someone else's!

That's my .02

There is a shit ton of information between basics and really kickin out some nice product. That is not to say you have to get overly complicated with your grow (you don't) but being prepared for issues with the knowledge required to fix problems quickly is a definite plus.
In it's most basic system MJ will grow and sometimes thrive without much attention but most likely a newby will be faced with all the normal issues and having some knowledge of those issues really helps the reaction time. Looking at bud porn is fun and all but studying harmfull insects and mold problems would be a better use of time.
Basically you need to use the site and many of the various rooms within the forum to study. Good luck
