"Good idea."
Thanks. I'm sure others have thought of it.

"all the while discussing products that work, products that don't, and the nerve of some newcomers."

The purpose was to inform, not pursuade. If other methods work for you, great. But stoney's methods word for me, so I thought I'd share. Her methods are cheap, simple, and effective. Perfect, in my opinion, but I understand that's just my opinion. Sometimes how we say it can strike people more than what is said. Obviously that's the case here.

"Help customized to your individual growspace, strain, lighting, medium and nutes."

That's my point. I ask why. Here's where I'm at: There are a few specific rules to follow, if you will, to make any grow work. What the indoor grower is trying to do is mimic nature. This isn't easy. So yes, RT, you are right in that there are issues to look at. But I wonder if people don't detail these issues to death. My point in posting what I did was to show others it CAN be simple if you just let be that way. For example, Stinkyattic has a post about the breakdown of potting soil and how, when the particles are smaller, they hold more water. True enough, but does it matter? Again, no offense to Stinky, and no, I didn't insult her at all. Some people just view it like that. But again, sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it that matters. I made my post very short on purpose, even qualifying it by saying up front that it wasn't intended to offend anyone. Yet people here are offended.

"But until they get in there and do it...it's just another book or video with cool pictures."

Well, sure I agree. And you may not realize it but that actually helps my argument, as you can spend all day and them some looking at books and videos. However, why do that when you can be shown something that is simple and effective. I guess we could argue this forever, couldn't we? "No, wayward, we can't and we're going to kick your stupid ass out of here." Okay, but before you do that, why not put me to the test? Why don't some of you give me problems to see just how stupid I really am?

"Where in the video does it provide a link to ask questions if an emergency arises or they have any unforseen problems...?"

There isn't one. But again that's the point. The videos exist to keep things simple and reduce problems. I'm not saying the info is perfect, but the stuff struck me as being better than days of research. And remember, there was another link that has text to help others out with problems. It wasn't just a link for videos.

"Been spending time and money on useless techniques or equipment...?"

No, I haven't.

"Been getting bad advise from another site?"

Yes, you could say that. But it was years ago. Now I'm better off. I know, you don't care.

"Sounds to me like you've got some issues you're working your way thru. (don't stop workin' on 'em now...you've got a long way to go)"

I disagree. In my opinion, those who burn time on, what did you call it?, casual discourse, are the ones with along way to go. Letting ego drive you doesn't make for good decision-making.

"(sorry our knowledge isn't informed enough for ya)"

I never said that. Perhaps there's someone here who benefits from what I did.

"you disrespect Stinky, (among the best at what she does and whom she does it for)"

No, I didn't. I had no intention of doing so. That's why I specifically said No offense to Stinky. Although I admit spelling her screen name wrong. Sorry. I've read some of her stuff and it's impressive in detail, knowledge, and quality of written English.

"And, you've insulted our members that take the time to create a photo journal to explain step-by-step how they've brought their ladies to harvest, while answering questions from those wanting to learn more."

How? What I said was, I don't see how a grow log will help. Again, the purpose to the methods of the videos is to remove the need for grow logs, making a grow remarkably simple provided you use certain elements to mimic nature.

"Your approach to all of this was remarkably uninformative, self-centered and immature. Coming here thinking that all of this is new to us, is just plain stupid and indefensable."

I disagree. Making my defense now. There's nothing self-centered and immature about helping others. I didn't insist the videos be watched or techniques be used, so your attack on me is futile, in my opinion. The purpose is to inform, not pursuade or insult. Look, RT, if you were a real newbie (which you're not), would you not appreciate someone showing you a simple, effective way to achieve what you want? Can't that be said about anything in life? Do you really want to spend hour after hour researching stuff on the web? Maybe you do. There's more to life.

"Perhaps at the next discussion board you join, you'll lurk till you get the whole picture."

What picture is that you're referring to? That I should be a club member and know the secret handshakes and codenames? That's what places like this come down to -- just one big social clique. And here comes new Wayward who obviously doesn't know shit cuz he's new and wants us to join his club instead. Nope, never said that either.

"One final question...are you a medical cannabis user, or just another drug addict with axes to grind, and an inflated sense of self-worth?"

Here's the biggest shocker of all -- I'm neither. But I think these issue could apply to you. Have a nice day.
