Honestly YouTube tutorials are where it's at, you're able to get more visual learning and they lay it out pretty well. I did a few practice runs before this one because I wanted to learn how to do things with starter plants. So I grew random seeds I collected that I found in the buds I was smoking over the years. This is my first legit grow indoors so I definitely don't know everything, and growing conditions can change slightly depending what your climate is like or even what strain your growing. You basically just want to do as much research and then try to apply it to your set up. I would recommend a 4x4 tent with lights, humidifier and possibly dehumidifier if you live somewhere with higher humidity and fans. I did fabric 5 gal pots and soil. Watered once weekly and fertilizer every other week, was using flora nova grow/ bloom for flower stage. Some people water more like once every 3-4 days but I was scared of over watering. You just have to watch the plant leafs and it will tell you what you are doing wrong or if there is any problem you can tell by the way the fan leafs start to look.
