Contradictions! Seriously - WTF!?

I was actually genuinely interested in trying to make your experience on this site better. I tried (as did most everyone else) my best to lay out some basic guidelines when using a forum like this to help you acheive your goals.

After reading this...

Joking or Not... I really don't care how things work out for you now.

I have problems
I am very sick
I work
I maintain a 4.0 gpa
I try to help out where I can on this site

I DO NOT have time to treat another person with respect and be insulted like that. I don't care if it is playful, joking, or not even directed at me. Sarcastic bullshit like that does not make any allies.
Have fun and be safe :thumbsup:

What he said ^^^.

Seriously, asking questions implying there there is only one right way to grow weed is the classic noob mistake, which you seem to be guilty of. And so many of the factors are interrelated, which is why you seem to be getting so many "depends" answers. How much should you water your plants? Depends what your temperature is and how much soil your plants have. How much soil should your plants have? Depends on your room temperatures and ventilation. How much should you ventilate? Depends on room temperatures and light power.

Really, it amounts to figuring out which things are hardest to change, and which are easiest to change, then adjusting the easy things to compensate for the harder ones. For instance, if your grow room is hot, that is hard to control if you have nowhere else to grow. So you can compensate for that by watering more, giving your plants more soil, increasing ventilation, and using a more heat-resistant strain. If your plants don't like it, you'll be able to tell.

WOW...there's a GREAT way to get anyone to help ya out. And if I'm not mistaken, your whole sad rant here has been about YOU not COMPREHENDING what you were reading, and taking what you need out of what you read....Pot calling the kettle black maybe?:wtf:

I planned my first grow like the D-Day invasion during WW2. Then, I went out and bought my first flower pot. First grow, very sucessful.

Damn!...I forgot something...:silly:...The Secret to growing is simple..."don't have anything better to do"...:thumbsup:

my 'scientific' approach: "it's a friggin' WEED, stick it in the dirt, leave it the hell alone - it will grow" ... :D ... BUT, if ya want it to finish like the pretty photos on the cover of 'High Times', ya gotta spend a bit of money, and a LOT of time, with craploads of PATIENCE ... :jointsmile:

Hi Reap! *pinch.

If you want to grow cheap, you have to match your style with your location and the spaces available, and be willing to work carefully and creatively within those confines, and still be able to recognize when it ISN'T okay to skimp on your expenses (correct exhaust, and heavy duty grounded timers for example). Don't overthink it though! ;)

Well... geez... bunch of stoners with comprehension problems? Ummmmm... let's play 'count the PhDs' or 'count the small business owners' or 'count the independent contractors' or pretty much any other measure of intelligence/success around here and you run out of fingers and toes pretty damn quick.

I'm glad you like the stickies, because I think- just a hunch- that you might just have alienated a LOT of potentially very helpful people... I can only speak for myself though. Good luck man.

I agree with Weedhound. Anybody with a seed, soil, food, light can grow. Everything will work, just how well. Maybe not get anything at all but the plant lived 8 weeks...it worked. I think that after growing over 15,000 varieties of plants all over the damn world, battling insects that took me weeks to identify, grafting, consulting, orchards, grapes, hops, perienials, tree farms, etc...I have found out one very improtant thing. I am not an expert. The plant is. The cool thing is they tell you what they need, you just need to learn to read plant. I learn something new every day, and am humbled every day by nature and her gifts. I also try to pass my findings on to others who are interested or maybe don't want to make mistakes others have. BUT you come on this website and are looking for information on how to grow medicinal MJ. You are going to get advice on how to make the most out of the plant to capture the medicinal qualities of this fine herb. These folks have spent countless hours perfecting, to the best of their abilities with the resources available, their craft. They are not selfish and willing to share with you their experiences. If you want solid scientific evidence and facts then you should be reading botany and plant science. When you learn the basics you will be able to elaborate on that and tweak the plant for your needs. So in closing, you can grow an MJ plant anywhere between 40-105 degrees F. You will have some really different results and some will be forgetable. This site provides information about optimizing growing conditions to achieve top grade medicine. Grow as you like, but trust me this site is a gold mine of information with nice folks sharing their experiences with you for free, taking time from their lives to type it out for you. I thank you all for that.
Peace,

I have to admit, I too get frustrated with the contradictions over the WWW, and not specifically about weed. I'm pretty much a noob, even though I'm on my 3rd grow. This time around, I have not been so obsessed with the "correct" method. I have taken bits and pieces from what I've learned and used what I could. For instance, I am growing cheap. I'm using rubbermaid tubs, a computer fan, chrome duct tape (for reflectivity) and have been using warm white CFLs the entire time under 18/6. My space is limited, I only have 3 CFLS and my temps are mid-80s. I have to say, my plant is looking mighty fine and has been under 12/12 for 5 days. If I were to ask for advice for a given problem, I know some of the experienced growers would answer my questions to the best of their knowlege. Others might give me answers having nothing to do with the situation. An example would be "I gave my plant too many nutes. What should I do now?" and I could get an answer like "You need to bring your temps down". Nothing to do with the question at all. Thats what kind of what upsets me. Perhaps my plant is showing no signs of heat stress, yet some still seem to think heat is an issue. Hell, my first grow I had no knowlege at all. I did not belong to any forum, nor did I research the web. I had a closet full of clothes, cheap fluoro tubes, and an fan. I know it was well over mid 80s in there and my plant grew fine. I might not have ended up with drop-dead gorgeous buds, but it was good enough for me.

Just remember when asking questions here, that those that are willing to help aren't there next to you to walk you through it. They only know what you tell them about your grow, they can only see what your camera can see. And I must say, this is BY FAR the best forum I have ever come across, aside from the famous overgrow. But they are gone and I now have cannabis.com and I'm stickin' to it! It is the only forum I read. :hippy:

I could give a fuck less to read all this crap.

But you people suck. :D


If you can't sort out how to grow something, do me a favor. "Google" how to make a slip knot and go hang yourself.


Man kind supposedly sorted out how to farm eons ago and yet we have the simple question of how do I grow a plant from seed. The world would be better off if people actually had to think on their own and provide themselves with food.

Buying ANYTHING from the "black market" supplies people who do not have your best interest at heart with tons of money.

I am stuck in pergitory! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I'm in a shitty mood right now. :(
This forum rocks, period.
You can bet on it that the system/the man/the feds is/are mining this site for loads of intel.

Frankly I don't care to let it be known to anyone other than myself that I do anything worthy of the attention of federal authorities. Sometimes I cut myself out of the loop, now where did I hide my stash. :D
