Relative newb

[Lazarus13]

Hi all. I just completed my first soil/cfl budget grow a few months ago and had all of the newb problems. Nute mishaps, ph problems, fungus gnats spider mites and my girlfriend not watering my babies for 2 weeks while I was in hospital. I am in the midst of my 2nd soil grow and am gearing up for a switch to top fed dwc and trying to save up for some upgraded equipment. As soon as i figure this site out and check out the tutorials for posting i will get some pics up of my last grow and start a journal of my current one so i can get some of this expert advice for myself. Ive been reading some of Light Addicts traing method tutorials and im excited to try them out. I enjoy the cameraderie that exists in these forums and appreiciate all of you being here to help each other out in this incredibly enjoyable and rewarding past time. Thanks for having me.

I'd have to agree, not a woman you can trust.

Thanks for the welcome. And no, shes still my lady. lol she has no green thumb and very little knowledge of what i do in my "garden". Its kind of my area, if you catch my meaning. She just enjoys the benefits.

Hello and welcome! I just joined the other day and I'm in the same boat as you. Currently on the tail end of my first grow using cfls. Planning to do another but this grasshopper must first learn how to plant an autoflower.....lol. I wish you success all the way around and I'm sure everyone here does also. I think you came to a good place....the key, are the grow journals. I believe this is where you get the knowledge and skill sets passed on from experienced and seasoned growers. It's also a place for you to document your baby's progress and have a record if you ever need it. Finally, it's a place for folks like me to read through for random but useful information. Journals provide a wealth of knowledge so bookmark those pages.
Hope you stick around and share your experiences with us.

to Laz. If you didn't break up with her you can always withhold sex as punishment.

Welcome Lazarus13 to the 420 community

I would highly recommend starting a grow journal and linking it in your signature. It makes it so much easier for techno-dinasaurs like me and others to find your garden. The support you will get is unmeasurable with a grow journal. That and it gives you the opportunity to meet new people that perhaps you may have not gotten the chance to meet and develop relationships with them. I have only been on this sight for a short period of time, just long enough to finish out my 1st grow in over 30 years, and in that short period of time I have been lucky enough to meet some of the greatest people. Some are master gardeners, some are like me, still trying to work out the bugs, and others struggling to get just figure out what they need to do to get started, but each and everyone of them has been a privilege to meet. Many of them have become close friends and have been able to help me both in and out of the garden. While the support you will get for your garden is unmatched anywhere, one thing that gets over looked here at 420, well not so much over looked but definitely under-rated in my opinion, and that is the people you will be exposed to. The people here at 420 are not only generous, but are extremely genuine. You will not find a better group of guys and gals anywhere to be a part of.

Welcome, glad to have you as part of the group

So there's going to be a slight delay to my diving into creating a grow journal. My current project is done. 2 cases of root rot + 2 babies that just grew their balls= starting over. The grow tent i ordered came but is missing a cross bar so i have to wait on that and i need to build a new hood for my new tent. Thankfully i won some seeds from the gracious people at Gorilla so when i finally get things together i will have something definitely worth raising. I'll still be in these forums reading and learning until then...

Wow....sorry to hear about the turn of events. But I'm glad you haven't given up.....it is a set back but it seems you already have your footing back again. I hope your next set of seeds proves to better. I have a feeling, that soon, I will be reading your grow journal to its successful conclusion.
