Hi there everyone. I am brand new to growing and I would like to know some tricks and tips on how to grow good plants. If you could dummy it down for me that would be great as I don’t understand all the abbreviations and Nutrients they need to grow. I’m a bit scared to try but I’m gonna go at it. Guess I’ll learn on the way. Thanks y’all
