@Yozhik thank you for the advice I can understand that. I have only done a handful my self but at the best of times I don't think I ever read what a plant is telling me I just used to seem to get results eventually lol . but now I can get take the time and put a bit more effort in. I will certainly try my best and I think I'm doing alright so far.
Mate - I'm a procrastinating pedant - bordering on OCD - who regularly suffers from paralysis by analysis.
It took me over 2 years of research and ingesting as much collective knowledge from this site and others, before I pulled the trigger and put beans in the dirt.
My ethos is very, very simple.
Provide the the right environment - have
absolute control over tent temps, humidity, extraction, air circulation, pH, EC - i.e. the environment ... and then
let the plant do the rest.
Build it - they will come.
That's about the best advice I can give.
Every plant is going to be different.
Even within the same strains, you're going to get different characters being expressed.
As long as you have absolute control over the environmental conditions, and keep it in the sweet spot at all times, they'll grow.
Some will ask for more nutes, some less.
Some will preflower early, some late.
Some will have a greater thirst, some less.
But when the surroundings have been stablised and optimised, this allows you to concentrate on the signals they're giving you, and to have peace of mind that it's not something you have to do in the tent setup - you can focus 100% on their growing needs, and not some faulty piece of hardware or an equipment fault, which just leaves you chasing your own tail in an ever increasing and accelerating blackhole of self-doubt and over analysis.
Sorry - didn't mean to jump atop a soapbox and rant.
You get what I'm meaning ...
