Help for newbies

Hey Karlee, that's a good idea!! If the sig. posts that shingle, then maybe some folks would write directly to the ER doctors!
 
As said before teach them and thay will grow better and pass it on to others . We will be stronger for it. It's a win win for all. Some just take longer to learn and some never will! Its ok peace
 
i was kinda not wanting to say anything since i haven't really been here long enough but if you all went the way of that ER doctor analogy, there could maybe be a member (or 2) "on call" so to speak, and have it be voluntary....i have NO idea if that would work and i have no ponies in this race just throwin out a suggestion
 
i just had another thought....back when i had this problem as a teacher--put most generally and most crassly--the problem of Have You Done the Assigned Reading?-- i learned to do the following:

student says they're having trouble understanding, say widgets.
me: have you read (assigned articles, textbook parts) on widgets?
if no, then helpfully say ok, go read those and afterwards get back with me.
if yes, then i ask what specifically they need help with and try to help accordingly.

if something like this was done here, maybe we could avert what Green's saying while also trying to help with what Alltat's saying...
 
And it's a good idea. People have mentioned before all the aspects of the grow you should mention--medium, pH in, pH out, pictures, etc. (all the things Green75 always asks for), and pictures if possible. Set it up with those "requirements" so that the ER doctor knows what s/he is dealing with.
 
I'm no commie but I was part of a military dictatorship and this concept was explained to me in the form of a question, "how high is high?".
 
I don't agree with your generality we have learned from Master Gardeners Named Nebula and Sirrius and don't think for one minute that if I personally gave you a bad suggestion THEY wouldn't step in and fix this fast.
I'm here to help that first time grower because I felt lost on my first grow and being here I see people on the 4th grow and the plants aren't producing what they could have by following some certain rules. I hardly can afford to grow so when I have the lights on I want all I can get with the least amount of money involved no thrills.

So if I can help one person do this saving time and money I will keep doing this here I pay my debts always.
 
Only one way to settle this. "Who hasthe biggest hat.

SSD this is not a pissing contest, and it don't matter who gots a big hat. This is about how to teach, and anyone can be a good teacher-- not just "teachers"! That is, if we wanna teach newbies how to use GWE which helps those who help themselves.

That's what Green75 was sayin yesterday and now bobsaka. We want to hold folks responsible for putting in the work (rather than always spoon feeding) to get to really understand what they are doing. And like someone else was sayin (damn! Im high and I can't remember who it was, but it was well said), we have to grow an activist community as well as grow our girls.

I think this forum does know there's a "higher" cause, and that's to get absolute legalization. It's been a subtext in a lot of discussions we have goin on right now. So rather than fear the negative forces that want to keep us paranoid and afraid, let's be activists in whatever way we can: by teaching, sharing, supporting and spittin the truth.
