I hear ya, planning is good. Having an overview of the whole thing is smart. I remember being told to stay ahead of the grow, know what the next move will be... for me though, it took doing it and making mistakes to pound it into my long term memory. I found myself and still do today, looking back to Docs instructions often, and seeing something I missed. I must have read them a 100 times now.
I will tell you this, record as much info as you can each day of your grow...everything, dates that the seed popped, drenches, drinks, anything you add to the soil, recharge, upcanning dates, flip date, environment temps RH, etc....it can help you and others troubleshoot any problems if we know this stuff. And you can look back to what you did previously when you start your next grows.
I'm still running the old formulas, and have to use it up. I do use the Epsoms for my salt lovers, but I never used the bloodmeal, others have stated that it attracts bugs and messes up the soil for future grows. I have the old wayx10 formula. It all Still works like a charm!
You won't go wrong with Duggan's advise, he is patient with us newbies and questions and is also passionate about his cannabis.
If you have the old formula, it still works...use it up...learn with it. Order the new stuff too, cuz once you toke your first DBHBB bud you will not stop my friend
Alright I'm heading home, been typing here for an hour.. got to go home to see my ladies...and my wife. Lol
