The biggest mistake I made as a beginner grower:
Advice Overload
Getting help from too many people.
~~~
This happens for 2 reasons:
1. It’s exciting to start growing.
You want to tell everyone, and everyone wants to help.
2. When you need help, you ask everyone you know that might know the answer.
You try to get a consensus
~~~
But there’s 2 fundamental problems with this:
1. Not everyone is qualified to help you
(and their advice may actually set you back)
2. There’s more than one way to grow weed
(and some advice doesn’t apply to your situation).

Quick story:
I was having pH problems in one of my first grows.
I asked my “primary” teacher for advice — but also asked other growers I knew.
These growers had 10–20+ years experience; they were definitely qualified.
But they grew in vastly different environments — salts, organics, indoors, outdoors, LED’s, etc.
