Introduction threads aren't really my style, but this forum has been such a help, I'm down to join in all the fun!

Seriously, I'm in my first grow (I think I'm getting close to harvest on a pair!), and this site has saved me all around.

In the last few weeks, I've learned so many things, and some of you have helped keep this first grow alive, despite my best attempts to overwater, overfeed, and just plain stress them physically.

I've learned about DIY COBs, to which I've just upgraded after my cheap blurples started to fail. Thanks BigSm0!

I've learned a bit about nutrient schedules in hydro/dwc grows because I was obviously going to follow the manufacturer schedule printed on the bottle, right? Whoops.

I've learned a few methods to combat pythium/root rot. A month ago, all the roots in this grow were pretty brown, and not very healthy looking. They're now growing new white shoots constantly, and the plants are drinking lots of water.

I'm currently reading up about common plant issues, and how to prepare for harvest.

Here are a couple snaps of my progress, and a thread I created about the grow.

Yeah, man, I've done everything wrong with these, from overwatering to overfeeding to accidental supercropping (don't ask, but I did try on the 2nd skywalker on purpose). Luckily I found this place before things went too far south.
 
Hey @2MinuesHate those plants look great. If i hadnt found afn i probably wouldnt have made my first harvest either.
This place is all about helping each other out and spreading the good vibe.
Happy growing
:pass:

Thanks, that's reassuring. I'm confident that I'll do much better next time, if only because I'll have better equipment from the start, if not the things I have learned and am learning.

I've been through a bunch of forums looking for info, this is far and away my favorite, and not just because I've chosen to grow autoflowers exclusively starting out.
