I have seen a pattern surface over the last several months.
We are all here to try and sift through all the "internet wisdom" and find/exchange the PROVEN gems (like GWE) to better our grow style (whatever your's may be).
It starts with a newbie posting a question about new grows or worse- a grow in trouble.
Some of the more seasoned growers will offer a no-nonsense proven answer/solution to the problem at hand.
Now the newbie has read from the internet and along comes some advise from another and it sounds familiar, and they provide so much information (quanity is not quality here) they must be good at growing or at least dazzling you with BS.
We are more likely to go along/agree with someone who reinforces our currently held beliefs- even if it is not working or dead wrong.
The OP feels like they are on track- as the "expert from a far" even agrees with him, so he aligns with them.
If the information was correct- no harm no fail-, but all to often, the grow worsens and goes bad-beyond repair- even though the correct info was in his post all the time.
HERE is were it gets frustrating:
Not long after, the one willing to give advise to the newbie, is on GWE asking for advise - for their FIRST grow - WTF !
People-please refrain from a "copy n paste" answer without a disclaimer of your limited- to- NO experience in successful grows and the OP's topic.
It is perfectly fine to mention and add a link - if you do not have direct knowledge of it's effectiveness.
Either use a disclaimer or specify your lack of direct hands-on experience of the topic-

I guess/hope the other new growers are the same! otherwise...
