I think indoor dialing in is much harder then outdoor. Outdoor is much more forgiving indoor combines a ton of shit you gotta get right that crosses a broad number of topics some of which don't even have to do with growing such as security, construction, financial planning, etc etc. Also lets be real indoor bud is better lol.

Being a grower is like martial arts or poker. It's a liflong jounrney where over time through observation you built understanding and natural instinct. And, to be sucessful you must understand know matter how good you get, there is always more to learn.

Maybe when I have my field, greenhouse and basement, then I might be a "real" grower. Peace GS

Einstein said that one who completley uderstands something could explain it easely to anyone.
My cousin and I first shoved a seed in the dirt when we were 12 years old.(early 70's)
I have shoved quite a few more since then, and I am but a novice.

I first started back in the 70's I guess I just have a natural green thumb. I never had a bad grow. But I've been growing veggies and flowers since I was a little kid, in my teens I started growing weed. I never thought much about it I've always been able to grow almost anything. But after all those years I still wouldn't call myself a Pro. Theirs so much info out there and I'm always picking up new things.
been growing for nearly 10 year now,,and am still picking shit up....

My first indoor grow ended with mites and tons of nute burn. Apparently I also had a hermi in the garden and had seeds.
My second grow was once again troubled by nute burn and deficiencies. No longer had the mite problems and didn't have any hermis. Got a little better.
My third indoor grow was about 1,000x better than the first two combined.
Just keeps getting better with each grow.
What really counts is that you learn from your mistakes and progress. You'll know when you have reached the point of being able to grow without being the cause of garden woes. Sometimes stuff happens that isn't in our control. Shit happens and you need to make the best of it.
I think most will say the same thing, some of us have been growing for quite a long time and we're still learning new things. Its been a little over a decade for me with the occasional breaks and I still find ways to improve.

To become a real grower, I would say that as soon as you can grow yourself some decent smokable buds. From that point on, you will get better, and experiment with different strains in your garden. There are day when I have doubts of my ability. Recently I ran a strawberry cough that turned out fantastic, I clones it, grew it and it keeps popping ballsacks. And then you discover some strains don't like certian conditions, and some strains are easier to grow, ok I'm babbling and stoned to the bone.

was trained from day 1 by my buddy, so I didn't have much of a learning curve. Although I did do a lot of experimenting with things like cracking stalks, attempting to stress the plant to produce bigger yields, things that I had heard about but didn't fully understand. Science is hard to do without the proper resources and knowledge, but I soon abandoned these things and went with what I was taught. I attempted things like scrog b4 there was much info on the net, with little success at the actual point, but still good producing crops.

I have wanted to grow since I was 13. I'm now 35 and have my second run underway.
The first grow was good but I cut it to early, this run should be better. My clones are now staying alive and growing nicely. It only took 4 dead batches to learn how to do them right lol. Now its time to get cab #2 done, get some good lighting and start my SOG. I have lots and lots more to learn and thanks to this web site I know I'll get to where I want to be.
Do I think i'm a real grower? I'm Getting there, I'll call my self a "real" grower when I reach my first pound, swap over to hydro and am growing killer buds from killer seeds that I am going to buy from seed boutique. For now I am still a newbe grower, I'm at the 1/2oz mark, in soil, growing a bag seed. Allthough In my defence its a good bag seed.
