The Mental Side of Growing – How Overthinking, Impatience & Comparison Sabotage Your Grow | Grow Guides Ep. 75

In this week’s Grow Guides, we step away from nutrients, lights, and equipment and focus on something just as important: the mentality of growing.

We talk about how obsessing over plants too much often causes more harm than good, and why overcorrecting problems that don’t actually exist is one of the fastest ways to stress a healthy grow into trouble. We also dig into Instagram and comparison bias. How scrolling perfect-looking grows can quietly wreck your confidence and decision-making.

Impatience comes up at every stage, from germination to harvest, along with confirmation bias when diagnosing issues and the way a grower’s stress can transfer directly into how plants are treated. We also discuss the skill of learning when to leave plants alone, trusting the process, and remembering the real end goal — healthy plants and enjoyable results, not chasing perfection.

This episode is all about mindset, restraint, and confidence. A must-listen if you’ve ever checked your tent ten times a day or talked yourself into fixing something that wasn’t broken.
