Nebula's tutorials are meant to be read...

That's perfectly fine. These people will not eat you -nor me, i'm new too-. But they do ask to make a minimum of research before asking about a problem. :) If nothing settles your mind, ask away. Most often asked questions are answered in the tutorials, if you read them you will not need to ask those often asked questions ;)

Also, just to add my little salt, as a new grower who tries to get the best from the first time, it can be... a bit scary to grow. "What if I was wrong? What if its something else? What if I missed something, altough I read thrice the tutorial?". That's how I was when I first posted... Eventually I understood every plant is different, every grower has their setup and preferences, and so their own experiences... Only recently did I re-read one tutorial ("7 things I wished someone had told me when I first started growing weed", real gold that one.) and noticed the bit of advice to take other's opinion with a grain of salt. There's so much to read in GWE (its not HUMONGOUS but its still a lot!) that sometime I skipped such crucial advice, I read it but I didn't register it, as I was still trying to process the other advice that came before ^^
Meaning I'm not going to post about already answered questions, I will deal with the problems as they come, with the help of the GWE site. Only if a particular problem, rare enough to not be addressed in the tutorials, problematic enough that I cannot handle it alone, solve it using my knowledge and my brain, then I will post here asking for help. Meanwhile I browse the forum, trying to learn from other posts and replies. Adding my salt when I can. But I do agree I see a lot of repeat questions! Have you also noticed how the "maximum of people ever online" was 1050 something, and this number was hit this last month only. This tells me the site is growing in popularity, a lot of new people come to ask their questions (since every plant is different... But it often boils down to the same answers every time).

Myself, I love reading the requests for help, wish more would send the needed pictures. I'm a rookie here, so gleaning as much info as possible. It's nice when I see problems solved, and you folks here are wonderful with the amount of help you give us. Love those pictures 🤓
 
I must have read all the articles on the site 10 times before I even planted my first seed. I learn best with a visual aid, so the pictures were always helpful. Always so thankful for Nebula and Sirius and the amount of work they put into helping us all be more successful. They've done an amazing job and I'm sure I speak for everyone in saying it is very much appreciated!
 
LuckyAcres I would suggest that "laziness" may not be the issue here: it's not like folks don't want to grow their own weed, but some folks just aren't good readers. Other folks aren't so outgoing as you are; others just may have a really hard time juggling lots of factors. Like I said above, people learn differently and one of. The things I like most of all about this forum is that it's quite tolerant of difference.
 
I think it takes a village to teach a village how to growweed easy. I have had to read the articles over and over, take notes, go back and read again, take more notes, amend the notes and go back and read again. Now if that's my own experience learning to GWE, and I am a halfway decent learner, I can most certainly understand that the GWE website can seem very daunting to lots of people who are trying to GWE. Nebula and Sirius are so smart, so well-educated on all levels--chemical, botanical, agricultural, etc, etc.--and so articulate. But you have to be able to stay with the information they provide, digest it and put it into practice.

I agree with what everyone else is saying--I lose my patience with lazy students who aren't willing to stretch and exercise their brains--, but I also understand that not everyone is ready. So some will eliminate themselves cuz they really aren't ready to do what it takes to GWE. Ya gotta get through the hard parts of the learning curves before it becomes easy.

Hmmmmm..... Maybe GWE should be subtitled like this:
GWE (ASS TAE SECAC)

(After serious study, trial and error, sustained effort, commitment and concentration)

Ditto, Ditto. The site is person to person interaction we all want. Amazing how you created both the GWE site and this forum. You have our thanks!!
 
Imo, people on the internet, even shy people, tend to be extrovert. Trolls and all, they do what they do because internet provide them some "anonymity". So, shy? I'm not so sure... Impressed maybe ^^ Don't know where to start, how to start. Don't feel like creating a particular topic just to introduce themselves on a forum that might be DEDICATED to help growing. I hope you know what I mean.
 
Atu, I'd imagine you are really well liked by your students. Your words are so comforting and true.
 
I have read through almost all of them before i even started growing.. and watched hours of how to grow videos and so forth... But there are some questions i had that were not answered clearly to me, But i did try to find the answer first... google is an amazing thing (sometimes) then again thats my two cents.. i also post useful information i find... but i love you guys!
 
Want to come help me with a problem I can't figure out. Nute burn but I don't use much nutes? Cal deficiency is as close as I can come up with but now what. You don't have to I'll figure it out but friendly advice would be great.

Forgive my silence it's been a crazy day/night, not over yet!
i fully agree with you. This morning I came across posts on pages 1,2 and 3 that were written similarly and asked the basic same question. Question answered in the section beginners shopping list. That's laziness. Nebula has it clearly stated on what to do before asking question. Not taking the time to read through the most recent posts is laziness. But I didn't mean to stir such a debate, my issue was simply with that. I was going with the idea of to teach them how to fish etc.... I've asked stupid ass questions in my early gwe days(6 months ago???!!), got checked by a couple people on it, thanks grenn75!, and i yeah I agreed with them I got lazy. Nothing wrong with getting checked once in a while.
 
Debate yes but not a heated one. I personally needed to be put in my place a bit. I've been being one of those panic button pushers. For me it was the first time I had talked to anyone about my plant and I was like a kid in a candy shop! I see the error of my ways now but I'm just one newcomer. So maybe it's a pass the torch kind of thing and some of us new smarties can lighten the load for y'all. It's all good though right?
 
LuckyAcres And I agree with you: it's always better to teach someone to fish...

Jeg I think most of us are like that at the very beginning; I know I was for sure!! How I see it: there are so many factors to juggle when one is first learning to grow. It's like you have to keep about 16 balls in the air, rather than 2 or three. I panicked a few times on my first grow, during the great root rot depression of grow # 2, and I reserve my right to panic on this grow if I run into something I don't understand/don't know how to handle.

GW is EASY, once we master the basics, we understand our roots and our nutes, our pH and our leaf appearance, we master the art of viewing trichomes, we master the art of the dry and the cure: it's really a lot!!!

And yes, it's all good here: I think we all love a good discussion that broadens everyone's understanding.

I can't believe all the threads repeated by different people or questions about simple things covered on the main site, it's getting ridiculous.
