Don't believe everything you read.
People like to blow smoke up each others asses.
Iā??ve stumbled across many difficulties, trial and error, and faulty information. With so much information out there, so many different opinions, it is quite troublesome. I can't even recall the number of copy & pasted material I've read over and over.
I really hate those non informative posters who like to speak out of their asses. They like to post irrelevant information, posts that have nothing to do with the subject matter. These people probably have no experience or very little, or they have failed repeatedly therefore wanting others to suffer the same fate.
These growers, for some reason feel that they should not share their knowledge but only hint at ideas, thus forcing n00bs to learn from the mistakes they make.
Because many growers have dedicated so much time and money on learning and perfecting a great growing technique, they don't like giving n00bs a learning curve. They become selfish, and many even turn into cash cropping whores.
Please ask them to cite where their information came from.
The best way to start is to start growing right now! No matter how many threads I've read and endless hours on google, I could not come to conclusions.
All my answers were self fulfilled through my own actions.
Save you self the trouble of browsing through endless debates and buy a book.
Thanks!
Which book do you recommend?
Also I don't know how to tell a plants sex and it seems that if start from a seed I might end up raising a male. Would I be better off starting with a clone?
When I joined I didn't introduce myself here, but I saw your post and wanted to welcome you! Especially after seeing the post that was made by someone who is obviously very pessimistic towards this forum. Those are the people who have always screwed up their grow because they just don't listen to experience they are "know it alls" who literally know jack shit. :twocents: Reminds me of someone that was banned recently from the forums ... please know that the people here will share and offer advice up the ying yang to any new grower. They don't want you to fail they want you to learn from their mistakes and be successful! Any time you see someone with zero experience get an amazing grow you feel so proud that you might have helped that come to pass. :D
FORGET a book for now. Use the YouTube links below in my signature and invest some time watching Mr. Green. Not only does he show how to build the perfect grow room but also takes you from start to finished product with so many gems of advice along the way. :smokin:
Don't let one disgruntled member discolor the other longtime members who know their dank! :thumbsup:
I would suggest any basic botany textbook. When it comes down to it, we grow a WEED. All the advanced techniques and experiences are all good, but it is a weed. It will grow fairly easy. Quality and volume can be increased once you have the basics.
Thanks Lynhal. What I started to do is to read users older post before taking their advise on growing after bobhead's comments. This way I don't listen to everyone nor do I shut you guys out completely.
Now I'm looking into LED lighting & hydro. My space is small (walk-in closet) and I NEED to keep odor down to a minimum. Im thinking of one of these "grow cabinets" but I dont know yet.
I have read the cannabis grow bible by Greg Green. I gained a lot of insight from it. If you don't like reading, grab some DVDs. Jorge Cervantes has a great video series.
Mr Greens I Grow Chronic Video is informative. However, some of the information is questionable.
You need to understand the environmental conditions. There are many things to learn if you want to produce quality herb. I feel it is much easier to learn from videos and books if you are a n00b. This will cover all the basics, lights, air circulation, genetics, nutrients, grow room setups, all sorts of stuff.
BTW, LED lights is a very hot topic.
I want to tell you about DIY stuff. A lot of it is garbage and or very inefficient.
This part of the grow cost me quite a bit. My stuff was ghetto rigged , I built all kinds of stuff, light fixtures, carbon filters, odor boxes, fans, exhaust. And in the end it just didn't cut it and I had to purchase all new equipment.
Unless you are very crafty or mechanibus, then I would avoid this.
Just buy the proper equipment in the beginning and avoid the headache.
It's well worth it.
DIY DWC buckets are excellent though.
I don't want people to get sucked into all the false claims. Cultivating marijuana can be simplified. Many new growers tend to over complicate things.
Lynhal
Are you alluding to me in any way in your post?
You gotta admit, you were somewhat pessimistic towards this forum and some of its members. I for one like it here and so do aQuote:

An irrelevant post. First of all, my question is for Lynhal. And please don't make assumptions. This forum is great. I never downgraded this forum in any way. Secondly, please read post thoroughly before posting.Quote:

notKeyserSoze, I forgot to comment on some of your questions.Quote:

Grow them out, clone all of them, and throw those clones into flowering to determine which plants are male or female.
That is a great way to go. Read all you can and learn from the grow logs etc., you can find on here. :thumbsup:Quote:

That sort of statment has to come from your own negative experience and why would you paint that picture to a new person to begin with?

I agree 100% with this statement and that you should follow your own advice and cite where your information on what I understand from your original post as "the lack of integrity", came from in regard to the members who use this forum?Quote:

Perhaps if you go back and re-read what you posted as the first post back to nKS and put yourself in their shoes you might understand where I was coming from, and if not, I am left to wonder why you would use a forum you feel so much distaste and distrust for? :confused:
And that is my :twocents: worth. Whew, now I need to go medicate. :rastasmoke:
Well said. :thumbsup:Quote:

I am like you, in that I look out for the new people. Hell we were all new once!
I for one like the people here on this site and trust their knowledge.
Me too! Because I have been reading this forum for years as a guest. I know that the knowledge base in regards to cultivation is one of the best on the net, IMHO. And MHO is regarded as a darn good one in gardening circles! ;)Quote:

yeah I noticed that too:S2:
...maybe its broken:weedpoke:
LynHal, you have clearly disregarded my previous post. Why do you continue to insinuate that I have a grudge against this forum and its members? You are making false assumptions, that is rather ignorant IMHO. It seems as though the only thing that your more concerned about is winning a debate?
The information may come across negative or positive depending on the individual. I simply want to encourage n00bs to do their research. You don't like the way I presented my advice or opinion, that is fine. But please show some respect and stop with the false accusations.
RAINHAZE , you are not contributing to the subject matter here.
notKeyserSoze, I grow using hydroponics and I've grown in soil. If you would like any additional information, I'd be glad to help. Otherwise, I will be ending my conversation here, as we have strayed far from the topic.
