Am I the only one who thinks growing weed ain't easy?

I don't grow for perfection I grow for myself that's where i am. But it takes practice and knowledge on each form of growing. I stick to my soil grows i don't go for each new wave to " speed " grow. I found what works for me.
 
I am definitely with ya'll. Everything I think I know, I learned the hard way. That's called experience or stupidity, depending on your viewpoint. While I truly understand how time consuming growing can be, I suggest you try the KISS principal. Fortunately, for me, it's a hobby and a labor of love. I could grow two plants a year and satisfy my personal needs, but where's the fun in that? My goal is to be able to display my plants and harvests at the State Fair.
 
If it's something or someway of doing it different then i say try it. But don't whine about it or throw things at the wall if it goes wrong. These newer growers lack patience, don't spend the time knowing the plant. When i learned it was with others help but i did'nt loose interest cause i failed making it to harvest, gotta keep going. But i don't make it complicated as like you say Rwise chasing the newest thing like phones or such. Things are speeding up quicker than I like so I ignore the hype. Peaceful simple grow methods and still you can get really good weed.

I absolutely hate the word "WEED" and I would in return ask you to please tell me the definition of the word "WEED".. because it is my firm understanding that if you are growing a field of corn, you could turn around and grow a single Ebony Rose in a corn field and that would be a "WEED", because a WEED is anything that grows you don't want growing. How about the term Marijuana.. I hate that term just as much, and why you might wonder.. I'd kindly refer you back to researching it's history of the term. How "Cannabis" farmers were suddenly told about this new drug hitting the streets and how it would cause all these horrible effects on people and they lined up to help pass the laws that would ban this new horrific drug, imagine their surprise after it passed into law and they suddenly learned they were talking about Cannabis being Marijuana, which completely took them by complete surprise. Should we move on to talk how those changes then brought about the DEA destroying all kinds Cannabis strains that are now forever lost to us because of their eradication programs being so effective? Oh and how do I think I know all these things I'm claiming as facts, that would be because I read some books by Ed Rosenthal, not just any author, but someone with a PhD and one of the biggest names out there that has been fighting for the rest of us to help people learn to grow and help fighting to change the laws going back a lot of years. I'd go so far as to tell you which one of his multiple books I read that in, but I'd have to go back and read every single one of his books until I found it again, and honestly would you even pick up that specific book to read all of it for yourself if I went so far to prove my point?

Regarding your other point.. and I'm a stickler for facts.. so I did some digging and found something that as much as I hate to say it a photo doesn't do it justice and as hard as I've been trying to get it to repeat it, I have been told several times I accomplished something called "Hash Tips" by people who are professional growers and actually got to see them in person with their own eyes and touch them with their own hands. I will post my photos on my profile, since I don't know how else to post it to this post, as I don't see the ability to attach them to this post, and I won't just make the claim without the only proof I have to back my claim up. So feel free to go check my profile, I'm posting them there after I post this.

I get the sentiment of growing becoming a J-O-B which is why I'm taking some time off from full-time growing after the current crop is in jars. Even getting the buds cut down, trimmed and jarred became a chore once I achieved a measure of proficiency at growing.

Still, I'm at the place where growing is as easy as it's ever been. I've got a helluva lot of seed (mostly homemade regular plus some autos from a trade) so I'm not buying from Europe every six months or so. I've got a worm bin that turns kitchen waste into some bitchin' compost. I'm growing in living soil so there's a lot of wiggle room for what is added to the soil (usually only more worm compost and trimmed fan leaves once the grow is going). There are live worms in the soil so the plants constantly get fresh castings. I don't worry about adjusting pH. I just let water sit for 24 hours with an airstone and then add some wetting agent, aloe or coconut extract. I have Niwas automating the temps and RH and light cycle in two of the tents so the plants in the 4x4 tents produce well every time.
 
I'm under the impression that you are saying.. I said "to much".. so on that basis I will choose to say nothing.. thanks for the heads up.. appreciated
