I'm entirely new to growing, so far i'm into week 5 of my learning experience and have been enjoying it far more than i expected, hurdles and all.
I feel i've done what most do when starting out; Watch all the youtube videos, sift through all the good and bad advice and come out the other end with the commonly accepted tips and tricks to autoflowers, researched all the equipment and dove straight in, then find out it's truely about paitence and forward planning.
So far i feel i've done pretty well early on, which lead me to attempt topping and LST and noticed the downsides to topping without fully thinking it through as you watch your plants grow

I found this forum through the podcasts (which have such a nice vibe to it all) and hope i can eventually add something to the community in one way or another :)
