I think if you try too hard, get too stressed, keep that negative attitude then it's going to show in whatever you do. Be it cooking or painting or riding a bike. If you ride, cook or paint angry it's going to show. Your food's going to suck, your paint job will be horrific, and you will crash that bike...If you have a negative attitude while trying to grow anything it's going to be harder. I grow for two reasons. 1) I like to smoke and it helps my pain, insomnia and other ailments and I'm cheap and don't like to pay for bunk. and 2) I love to grow things. I have always been a gardener, from the time I was a little girl I grew things. If it didn't make it for whatever reason I didn't throw a fit or blame it on someone else, I thought about what I did, and how I could do it differently the next time. That's the way I look at growing cannabis. I had a seed that didn't germinate, but I didn't throw a fit and blame the breeder, I didn't blame anything. I simply got another seed out of the fridge and germinated it. Giving it all the love and attention I gave the other one, and it is in the soil and I'm waiting for it to pop its little head up any day.
I want to eventually have a perpetual grow and will get there sooner than later, but I'm not rushing things, just enjoying what I have when I have it and waiting for the next crop to come in.
I think that's a lot of BrassTacks' problem. He's probably young (impatient) and wants immediate gratification and when it doesn't happen by the book he has to blame someone else instead of looking at the man in the mirror. This isn't a race, it's a learning experience and if you don't enjoy it, give it up and just save the money you'd spend on a set up and give it to the guy down the road who will give you perpetual bags of bunk for entirely too much money.
It's not like putting a piece of furniture together, A screws into B and voila! You have a bedframe.
That's just my opinion.
