Haha fair enough. I'm pretty new to cannabis in general too. I've just seen people mention "PH this", "Worm soil that", "Get this kind of tent", "do this, that, and the other thing" and it all looked complicated as hell. Figured outdoor was as simple as chucking the fuckers in the dirt, watering them as needed, and calling it a day. But again, don't really know.
All I know at this point is when I am able to grow I want to be able to sustain myself with the flower (Specifically Remedy) I need, so I'm just trying to stock up on seeds and store then long term until I can grow
easiest thing you can do, to learn w/o growing cannabis, is to grow peppers and tomatoes. they need similar levels of nutrition to cannabis, and bell peppers and tomatoes let you know real quick if you need to up the dose of fertilizer or pot size.
Don't let it seem intimidating. the fancy words and over complex sounding shit is just people being bad w/ words.
Do you wanna grow soil, peat moss w/ bottled synthetic fertilizer, or hydroponics? do you want to grow indoor or out?
The DIY fertilizers I advocate people make only seem complex, but if you have made pickles, its basically making pickles with fruits and plants.
The DIY soil recipe I recommend can be made as easily as mixing peat(or coco) with an equal volume of perlite and an equal part compost. 1/3 each total volume. Mel's Mix, from the SFG gardening Book. you don't technically have to find multiple sources of compost like he advocates.
The Aerated compost tea I like to make is as simple or complex as you want to make it. from potting soil in a nylon all the way to all the meals from the grow store and fancy cow manure compost.
I do not even pay attention to PH as an organic gardener, except when making and storing homemade ferment fertilizers.
The synthetic fertilizers I recommend are powdered(literally any powdered fertilizer instead of liquid whenever possible), and more cost effective than liquid fertilizers. brand doesn't matter, everyone is having success with them that I Talk to. from Jack's and master blend to the Veg Bloom and NPK industries RAW line, to floraflex, even using the General Hydroponics or Fox farm powdered fertilizer can save lots of money compared to buying liquid fertilizer.
Don't fear PH. its just chemistry games in a bucket. you DO NOT need a meter when you start, the strips from the grow store are good enough, just get it to the color that indicates 5.5-6.0 on the paper. it takes a few minutes of stirring after adding ph adjusting chemicals for it to be ready for a second check.
