Attention to detail = a Myers/Briggs INTP, control freak with an anal personality
... but yeah - happy to see a 100% germination rate, that's for sure.
For any 'newbie' [like me], I am totally convinced the success of my first grow, and the start to this grow, is primarily down to focusing on one thing ... environmental control.
And for that, I feel compelled to acknowledge the work and unselfish information sharing of the likes of
@TaNg and
@seymour-buds, et al ... whose yield busting journals of 'new Dutch Passion strains' I read front to back, multiple times, over many, many months, before taking the plunge myself.
When you read the journals and attestations of those growers, and any/all successful grower(s), the one common factor that stands out like the dog's balls is an obsessive/compulsive control over the growing environment ... temperatures, humidity, pH, etc. ... and this 'perfect environment' is then simply replicated each and every grow.
Get the environment correct, and they'll grow with just water. [See. Mother Nature]
Get it wrong, and it doesn't matter what concoction of high-end nutrients and magic potions you throw at them, chances are, the grow will suffer.
That's all I focus on - obsessively.
The seeds will take care of themselves - seed breeders [like Sweet Seeds et al] have got the genetics down to a fine art.
It's simply not an issue or element of the grow that needs to be questioned.
Environment, environment, environment ... "build it; they will come."
