Lol, you'll be suprised after a grow or 2 how much you have learned. I just started growing about a year ago myself, and am still learning daily. I once told one of the guys in the infirmary that "when I get on the level you guys are at, I would return the favor". His response was "there is no level, we just see things we are familiar with, and go at it". Thats a bit of a paraphrase (so why the quotes? I don't know, lol), but basically what he said. I will say you are in a great place to learn. I am a member (not active) on a few other boards, and this place has got to have the best community of any canna site.
Your going to make mistakes, and there is just no getting around that. Just make sure you learn from them, and don't be embarrassed to ask for help. That was 1 of my biggest mistakes I made in the start. I have yet to see anyone just say "you should just stop growing". No matter what you do, make sure to have fun. I get excited every time I open the tent, look for new growth, dust some pollen, w/e the task for the day is. Damn it! Now I want to go play Father nature! lol, have a good 1 bud!:smoking:
