⚠️ Beware: These Beginner Gardening Mistakes Can Kill Your Plants!!! 😱

Some common plant growing temptations that should be avoided include over-watering, checking your plants in the dark, overfeeding, allowing too many people into your grow space, and rushing the growing process by harvesting too early or flipping to flower too soon.

Over-watering is a problem because it can lead to root rot as the medium doesn't get a chance to dry out. It's best to resist the temptation to water your plants until you are sure the medium has dried out a bit, as plants grow best when they are not constantly wet.

No, checking plants during the nighttime can disturb their consistent light/dark cycle, which may stress the plants, lead to hermaphrodites, or cause light leaks that can be detrimental.

Inviting friends into your grow space or visiting other people's grow rooms can spread pathogens and pests like spider mites, aphids, and diseases like powdery mildew or bud rot. If these pests enter your garden, they can be incredibly difficult to get rid of.

Being patient in the growing process allows the plants to fully develop and mature, which results in better yields and healthier plants. Rushing can lead to a lesser yield and suboptimal quality, as well as poor plant development.

Consistency is crucial in plant growing, as plants thrive on stable and predictable conditions. Irregularities in care, such as inconsistent watering or light cycles, can stress the plants and negatively impact their growth.

Growers should consider changing their clothes and showering before re-entering their own grow space after visiting someone else's garden. Alternatively, wearing protective coverings like scrubs when entering the grow room might help, although limiting visits altogether is a more effective prevention strategy.
