If you could give only one piece of advice to a new grower

Also how long have you been growing?

Be patient.
I have hundreds of grows under my belt. No books, cheerleaders or television show. Just hands in dirt.

Don't over water or over fertilize.

Read the back of your seed rasing mix and make sure there's no fert in it.... : / Just happened to me and lost 12 seedlings.

Please mention how long you've been growing when you answer.

Buy some real god damn lights!!!!
Been growing plants as long as I can remember, their all the same.

Learn the basics and then master them. Be patient and don't try to do more than you can realistically handle.

Basics are:
proper grow environment
Light distance
how to tell male from female
watering
feeding

You don't need to be flashy and no need for a million bottles of fertilizers. Less is more and K.I.S.S (Keep it simple stoner)

Learn from your mistakes!

Growing about 6 years off and on

KISS is my method of madness

dont tell ANYONE your growing

Oh and don't kill your plants with kindness it's very easy to do .....also don't tell anyone ever that doesn't need to know about your plants/grow ...best friends can become worst enemies .....other than that read read read and if you believe the earth is flat don't plant to close to the edge for safety reasons .....good luck welcome

Took the words rite outta my mouth ....can't trust anyone anymore

Mix dolomite lime into your soil before planting. I'm willing to bet that at least 50% of "nutrient" problems in the Plant Problem section are the result of an off PH. A little dolomite lime added would have prevented such issues.

I started growing when I was 14.

Just let emm grow...

Oh and It's not hermi if the balls don't touch.

One bit of advice outside of the ones posted which are great, start reading now and researching "when are they done" harvest and cure.... here is a start right here on RIU.. https://www.rollitup.org/t/are-they-done-yet-what-does-done-look-like.853978/ If you plan now for the harvest and cure, you will be pleased with the outcome in the end. And since you asked, been growing longer than you have been alive... happy growing.
