Thanks for all the great info here Kodiak! Been out of it for awhile and getting ready to fire up again, so just doing some research to make sure my fried brain hasn't forgotten the basics!

I've been growing for many years but was never able to learn from others. Just recently joined this group and I am amazed by the information that you have available and about how little I really knew after all of these years. Thanks for all of the time and effort that you put into this thread. Once I started I couldn't stop reading.

That about sums up my experience here too man except for the growing for years part. I've definitely spent some hours reading and researching stuff on this site. Welcome aboard.

Thanks for the good words, I'm glad that you found the guide useful.

Your teacher was right but theory is always slightly different from practise. Making mistakes is part of the learning process. That's how I found out half of this stuff. Every time you experiment with something new, you have to be prepared to make a few mistakes. You can learn just as much that way. Sometimes you learn faster if you encounter all sorts of problems from the start.

Even after many years of growing, I still run into new things because I grow both indoors and outdoors and make my own seeds. The outcome is always unpredictable to some degree. There's always something new around the corner, so the learning never actually stops. Growing does get easier though, the more you know.

I used to study the science behind plants and growing for a long time but nowadays I like to forget about all of it and just enjoy watching the plants grow. It's more fun and reminds me of the times when I started out.

At first the plant is just a plant. Then you start researching it and it becomes something else. You break it down into little pieces in order to see the whole picture. When you are done reasearching, the plant is just a plant once again, only you know it better.

That's when you get to the smooth sailing. You prepare everthing so well that the plants pretty much take care of themselves because you know what they like and need.

Have fun growing
