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

grow 1 plant, then give lots of forum advise because you're now a pro!!

always wear a condom.

Research everything and ask as many questions as it takes to get the information you need.

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

Not about the destination

all about the journey

Grow with patience, intelligence, and confidence. Be here, now, in the moment.

When walking through a bunch of plants to tie up branches or what ever you have to do. its best to do it naked so you don't accidentally break plants cuz you didn't feel them on your clothing.

Or send your wife in there naked then you can help her wash all the resin off when she is done.

Large containers for soil. (Since my other advice has been given)

Growing outdoors for 7 yrs. Inside for 3

Dont tell ANYONE.

Im on the wrong side of 40..growing on and off for about 25 years. Still a NOOB.

Do not worry about yield yet because that's later when you learn from mistakes.

Shy 8 years growing.

Well it has to be "Use the search function" doesn't it? That's the answer to just about every question you could ask.

Aside from that. Don't give advice to other noobs until you've got a couple decent grows under your belt. It's hard enough as a noob to sift through hundreds of opinions without having to wade through a ton of perpetuated grower myths from teenagers with a lanky male under a CFL in their closet... Sorry, pet peeve.

...and that's coming from a noob myself. First grow.

Have fun and be safe.

i started with dwc. best advice i can give. spend time with the plants. sit down with them and look at them, examine them. the first few minutes you may not notice anything but after a few more minutes, you might notice things about the plant you didnt notice before. Take notice. look at the changes, how it grows what the leaves look like. Then research your findings. The more time you spend, the more youll notice.

Start off with good genetics, I just spent two months on bag seed with, alot of different pheno types, I ended up with sativa which takes longer than indica. upwards of 16 weeks and thats just flower. look into a easy to grow fast finishing strain and learn. First grow!

Don't dry where you sleep.

Wear a condom

like feckin spider mites

If you're to lazy (or stoned) to do some independent research and at least learn the basics, then you'll never be much of a grower anyway.
Keep in mind, the more experienced growers are not here to spoon-feed information that you should have already learned on your own.

You might get lucky and do ok, but we all expect you to fail. So get on with it.
