[hecno]

Hi guys , Look I have seen some of you get a bit upset about your grow , Don't , you have taken the first step , and believe me it is the first , Now this is how I see it go's . We see all these old farts with awesome plants , Oh that's what I am going to do - no - we are not . First up you have to understand how plants grow , if you do not grow plants just look around you and see how the lawn grows , then ask yourself why doe's that look so good or look over the fence and see what the old bloke is doing getting such nice tomatoes . Ya starting to understand the picture . There is 2 joys when we start to grow , 1/ good dam it is growing ,
2/ Bloody hell it did not die Ya Hoo . I got 1/2 once of that plant . Well done you have a good smoke to share with your friends
the legend begins .Then we move on , You progress because being a smart bugger you are and are starting to open your ears and take in what these old farts here are saying .- NOW - The secret is to study there posts , it's a bit like gold mining , there are hidden gems of info in what they post . It's not they don't won't to tell us , Its just how the twink there grow and that is because of a number of different factors , soil - nutes - life - and always remember annoy the shit out of them with questions as the will go out of they way to help you . And enjoy your grow and the more time your spend with them the more you will understand them .

Nobody can reach perfection
By seeking perfection
you will find excellence along the way .

As an old fart, I'd like to say Amen!
Someone once said the journey is the destination, and that's kinda my philosophy now.

I've learned from my first grow with autos that:
1. The first month just drags on (it seems to take forever for the seeds to germinate, sprout, and get to that fast growth stage).
2. The second month flies by (plants put on growth so fast and put on about an inch per day in height)).
3. The last month drags on as well (waiting for the buds to ripen and fatten).
And the worry-should I feed them more, should I water them more, do I need more light, would a different nute have done better?
I'm seeing the results of patience each day now.
