7 Common New Grower Mistakes
and How to Avoid Them 🕵️♀️🌳
|
by Nebula Haze
The current (undeserved, in my opinion) legal status of marijuana makes it so that many new growers end up learning some hard lessons on their own.
I regularly see pictures of plants that are struggling with caretakers that don’t know what’s wrong. Often, pictures immediately show that the owner is missing a vital piece of plant care knowledge that would totally solve their problem.
With this in mind, we’ve compiled a short list of the most common mistakes we see new growers make. Read below to find out if you’re making one of these common blunders!

1. Not Managing pH
When you start cultivating cannabis for the first time, there are a lot of acronyms, formulas, and regimens it seems you need to remember. After hearing PPM, PPK, pH, Lucas Formula, 18/6, 24/0, etc., most people want to ignore the jargon and try just watering a plant.
The jargon can definitely be overwhelming, and I would agree that a lot of it can actually be ignored… except pH.
Even though this plant has access to nutrients in the soil, the leaves are showing nutrient deficiencies due to receiving low-pH water. Bad root pH can cause all sorts of leaf discoloration, problems, and deficiencies! The problem cleared up as soon as the plant started getting water with a neutral pH.
Managing pH is one of the more technical details that pretty much ALL growers have to deal with unless you’re lucky enough to have perfect water.
Even in an organic super soil setup where pH matters less and many growers say pH doesn’t matter at all, you’ll still get nutrient deficiencies if the pH is totally out of whack. In fact, the picture above shows a super soil plant. Bad pH makes for sickly leaves, plants that struggle to make big buds, and
overall poor cannabis growth.
Soil growers should aim for...

Why Are My Stems Turning Red?

Got red stems?
You’re checking on your plants, things have been going pretty well. Then one day you notice a plant has bright red stems. Maybe there are other symptoms, too, like burnt leaf edges/tips, clawing/curling leaves, or yellowing. Maybe the red stems are the only symptom.
What's causing it and what should you do?

"Grew indoor with 2- 600 watt Migro led grow lights, once I put it into flower I was forced to bring them outdoors due to moving. I am a leukemia survivor, and cannabis has helped my journey for sure. I have been cancer-free now for 11 years. Positive thinking heals. Thanks guys!!"

Hell yeah! Take that, cancer! 🥊. ~Sirius

I've grown that strain and mine was also super sparkly. Great buds too! 👍 ~Nebula
"How do fellow growers 😁
These are my girls purple punch there now 9 weeks in flower and still look like they have weeks to go but state there a 8 week strain any advise would be much appreciated. STAY SAFE"
~Elmobudz 🌿
Those definitely have some time to go. Unfortunately, many breeders tend to underestimate the amount of time a plant will need to finish flowering. They look great though! 👍 ~Sirius

"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any.
