The #1 Mistake New Growers Make When Drawing Conclusions
Controversial Opinion:
Most growers aren’t good enough to know.
Know what?
Whether the changes they make actually matter.
I’ve been growing since June ’19 (just over 4.5 years) and I’m still new to this.
The #1 mistake I see other new growers make is jumping to conclusions.
About anything:
- Lights
- Nutrients
- Genetics
You name it, and there’s a brand new grower with an unqualified opinion.
I don’t say this to beat up on new growers.
Even 4 years in, I’m still very new to this.
Sure, I can look at a spec sheet and point out the differences on a light.
But my setup is nowhere close to being dialed in enough to pinpoint the impact of small changes like a change in diode or an additional light spectrum with 100% certainty.
