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:
