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.
