This is an extremely interesting thread. The starter of it doesn't really seem to understand the difference between growing to the best of your ability and just plain "growing." Sure, any goober can take a cfl and some soil from the back yard and grow a joint or two. Whoppee!! Not hard.....and you don't really need internet to do it or a website or even more than a garden book or two.

I've never once said my way is the "only way." However, i've put a LOT of time, energy, $$ etc into growing and feel that my experiences are (most likely) a little more on target than the guy with the mirror and regular light bulb.

Sure there are a lot of people that call that "growing." And folks who WANT to grow as cheaply and ghetto as possible.....feel free.....no one is stopping you.

What MY RANT IS is this: To those who don't want to put the $$, time, energy ETC into their grow do NOT come asking how to fix the mess you've made once it all crashes (which is why you were most likely warned not to do it that way in the beginning....).....cheaply and without much effort on your part. If you can't make it a priority to make growing your meds important then why in the world would I spend my time and energy fixing it for you?

Latewoood said it...if you go cheap; you grow cheap. You're very free to do so.....just don't expect the "experts" to pinpoint, clean up, and then fix your mess.

End of rant.
