1) THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT TIP I CAN GIVE YOU IS KEEP IT QUIET! THE MORE PEOPLE THAT KNOW ABOUT YOUR GROWING OPERATION, THE MORE PEOPLE THERE ARE TO STEAL YOUR PLANTS OR REPORT YOU TO THE AUTHORITIES.
2) LIGHTING IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF GROWING, IF YOU DON'T HAVE GOOD LIGHTS YOU WON'T HAVE GOOD PLANTS. I SUGGEST A HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM (HPS) LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR THE BEST IN QUALITY AND QUANITY.
3) YOUR GROWING ROOM SHOULD BE LARGE ENOUGH TO ACCOMODATE THE NUMBER OF PLANTS THAT YOU ARE GROWING. THE WALLS SHOULD BE LIGHT IN COLOR OR HAVE A REFLECTIVE SURFACE FOR MAXIMUM LIGHT USAGE. I SUGGEST AN OLD SHED OUTBACK, A CLOSET, THE ATTIC OR THE BASEMENT FOR YOUR GROWING ROOM.
4) SEEDS DO NOT NEED TO BE BOUGHT FROM A SEED BANK. NEXT TIME YOU BUY A BAG AND YOU THINK IT WAS OF HIGH QUALITY, SAVE THE SEEDS AND PUT THEM INTO AN EMPTY FILM CANNISTER ALONG WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE HIGH AND HOW LONG IT LASTED.
5) THE TEMPERATURE OF YOUR GROWING ROOM IS ALSO IMPORTANT, IT SHOULD BE BETWEEN 72-76 DEGREES FARENHEIT FOR OPTIMUM GROWTH.
6) THE HUMIDITY SHOULD BE BETWEEN 40-60% FOR YOUR PLANTS. IF YOU HAVE CLONES OR SEEDLINGS THE HUMIDITY SHOULD BE BETWEEN 70-80%.
7) THE BIGGEST PROBLEM MOST PEOPLE HAVE WITH THIER CROPS ARE THAT THEY EITHER OVERWATER OR OVERFERTILIZE THIER PLANTS. THE BEST FERTILIZER OUT THERE IS SOME SORT OF ANIMAL FECES. IF YOU CAN'T GET ANY, GO TO THE LOCAL STORE AND TELL THEM YOU NEED FERTILIZER TO GROW A TOMATO PLANT, THEY'LL HELP YOU PICK THE BEST FERTILIZER POSSIBLE.
8) SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING SEEDS. THE BEST WAY IN MY OPINION TO DO THIS IS TO WRAP THE SEEDS IN A WET TO THE TOUCH PAPER TOWEL, THEN PUT THE PAPER TOWEL IN A C.D. CASE. THROW THE C.D. CASE UNDER YOUR BED FOR A WEEK AND YOU'LL HAVE YOUR SEEDLINGS.
