I thought we were here to encourage growers - not discourage them by telling them they are stupid and inexperienced and shouldn't be attempting everything with their first grow.
I would like to tell them they are dumb or stupid for topping, maintaining, lsting and everything else on their first grow - but I like this forum and don't want to be kicked out for abusing new growers.
Yes, they all should just grow their first grow the way the cannabis plants want to grow - but they don't.
So now I just try to encourage them with what they have. Lots of growers can't afford fancy new lights and grow tents - they want the weed, just can't afford to buy it. So they grow shitty bag seed plants and the like.
I can afford to buy it, but I like to grow it too. And I am no expert, just a grower with 4 years of experience.
