I am a new grower. I have not started yet, but I’ll probably get seeds into the water in about a week. I am going to grow autoflowers the first time, and maybe the 2nd time as well.
I am going to grow hydro because it seems easier than soil. I have some physical issues that don’t allow me to pick up bags of soil and such. Plus I don’t have the storage necessary for such things 🤙🏿✌🏾.
I am curious about your grow and what you decide. I’ve joined 3 or 4 grow forums, and it seems that everyone has borrowed grow ideas from everywhere, given the same media and such.
FYI, I’ll be growing in a DWC with top feeding and aeroponics. I’m gonna start with 6 seeds in a grow cabinet. I harvest around my bday in January. I’ve been reading, watching videos 6-8 hours per day since August. THAT IS NOT TO IN ANY WAY IMPLY I AM NOW SMARTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE ON THE SUBJECT. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
My expectations are that my grow will be successful, I expect to have problems & setbacks, I expect to be able to find solutions to those problems, and I expect a fairly successful grow.
After rereading this post, I seem to come off as arrogant. I’ve found in the past, if I don’t have expectations, then nothing will come of whatever I am pursuing.
You can tell me to shove it, or tell me I’m full of whatever fertilizer I’m currently using, I will not be offended or respond harshly. I am here to learn from the mistakes of others.
GOOD LUCK 😎✌🏾
