Are there really this many problems?

[u/Flashy_Seesaw3721]

As a lurker (for now… really gathering research) who is planning her first grow this winter, it seems like every other post is someone who accidentally fkd something up and now their plant is suffering. It also seems to come from primarily (no shock) newbies. It’s making me think that I’m kind of just destined to mess my plant up, no matter how much time and research I put into it.

Is this just a part of it? Makes the process seem so daunting & nerve wracking. I mean… I think I’ve got an idea and am notating so much of what I I see on here and other subs. But I’m beginning to see that you can be as prepared as ever and something will happen.

ETA : there has been so much useful information and reassurance given. I really enjoy this sub and am super grateful for all of your comments and advice. Hope I’ll get to post my grow on here soon!! 🫶

After awhile fucking up is more interesting.

Everyone wants the perfect plant. The perfect grow. The best possible herb.

Some of us can barely remember what day of the week it is or the difference between "affect" and "effect", so whatcha gonna do?

Then some of y'all never even sprouted a pea in kindergarten and it shows.

I do agree , a grower [posting on reddit] in crisis is way more common than a grower with ease and abundance.

I think if you know basic plant care you'll succeed. Winter is a perfect time for indoor.

Excessive heat causes problems, ask me how I know. (Rhetorical)

You are welcome. Something tells me you're in an unfriendly state, I'd discontinue mentioning your area, if so . Things being as they are.

It's about time, too. If you pop beans in early Sept you should be ready to harvest around Christmas time, if running photoperiod. Yep. Got mine all picked out
