hey my only friend. i was just checking to see if you were aware that theirs no such thing as regular feminized seed. regular are the male/female.fem-are female. anywho, i would say my most common problem throughout the years is making wrong diagnosis of problems and then treating them in actually the oppisite way they needed in first place. so, ive had to learn patience and not being so gung-ho on quick treatments.ive learned that if a plant has an issue that its already working to bring itself back to a balance point, so i have to work with the plant in healping it do that. topping,fimming, lst, and more advanced techniquies are all part of the fun of gardening. when doing any tecnique i usually do all plants same way for even growth.ive been really liking the tomato cage for holding branches down, tying them off, and supporting branches during flower. i got plenty of years of making mistakes and not knowing stuff and learning on my own through trial and error.i dont mind sharing my experiances because if you want top shelf cannabis the truth is, you need to be a fine tuned machine. one more thing. if you enjoy gardening make sure your planting at least one other herb, flower, vegtable because it helps a person in lots o ways.im excited for you.theirs nothing like propviding ur own medican or rec weed for oneself. it generaly takes about six months of work to get a final result, so many life lessons are learned on the way. enjoy the ride, stop and smell the roses!!
