Website info on forum

Gingerbeard lolll my dear young Ginger it's my dry humour. I don't see anything wrong to improve the site. Look we came a long way from the black dial phone to the latest Iphone. Never to old to learn if so you are dead.
 
One you can still be on the forum and the other one you can't.

Bonne soirée mon jeune.! The old man is going for a little rest before diner.

Ever try chuckin' a chicken at a chicken shooter? Pro'ly not, college boy. Much as'n a chicken don' wanna get shot by a chicken shooter, th' chicken might outta chicken shot out th' way!
College boy.
 
Exactly my point. Instead of chasing our tail checking for ph and ppm and m&m’s and everything else we can focus on just simply learning good watering skills which is a common problem. Focus on the environment which is a common problem. I doubt that using the latest and greatest magical potion will increase yields or girth or you name it it’s been labeled. In my opinion anyways. Nothing is set it and forget it, just frees you to check for pest, plant training, learning the plant to name a few. Years of science is exactly the reason why growing without the magical potion makes sense and allows you to push the plant to its full potential using the inputs in their natural form instead of the ones someone puts in a bottle and now it’s magic . Have you ever let cannabis go till it won’t go no more or you always pull the plug when you want to? There is nothing new about cannabis just like someone said here, someone reads something and makes up in their head that it’s new when it’s been a part of gardening for years posts about it and bam now it’s the new cannabis gardening technique. Anyways just the way I found to grow weed easy everybody has their way. Some like craft beer some like bud ice, and will argue that’s it’s new bigger and better.
 
MH47 Want to maximize your harvest without sacrificing yield and quality? A few people claim that top dressing malted barley and adding it to your soil as an amendment will reduce the time it takes to get to harvest by 15-20 percent. Claimed by growers who have grown the same plant for years many many years and by using that they noticed they get to harvest quicker and the yields and quality remained the same. You may want to do a side by side with clones. Only thing this is not labeled in a bottle and done by growers that use the old scientific tried and proved soil biology.
 
MH47 it’s been part of my grow since 2019. Top dress regularly and also do it by just bubbling it in water for a couple hrs strain and water the soil.No mold issues just praying plants like they are thanking god sun/light. Some people use it and get scared and start looking for a bottle of something to kill the “mold” on the soil lol. It’s the good stuff, what you want to see. There is a book called mycelium running explains it more in depth really old book but still holds its weight.
 
That's all i'm trying to say also Cali . I agree with you.....This website began as a simple informative hobby grow. To help beginners find the formulas that work for them. But turning it into a science class with long explained cloudy boring statistics who would want to read how to grow weed in a more complicated explained way?? Do you see the average hobby grower looking a PDF science grafts and charts to learn about simplier techniques of hanging a thermometer in a tent and watching the ranges?
 
The problem/issue as I see it, folks keep coming around trying to get others to grow their weed. (What about this light, or these nutes or is hydro or coco best?). There are as many ways to grow weed as there are growers. Folks need to figure out what works best for them. I learn by reading what others do and copy. Sometimes I only do it once, others I keep doing because it worked for me. I have grown in soil, hydro and coco (new for me). I have general Hydroponics Flora, fox farm and advanced nutrients on my shelf now. Been doing this for about 1.5 years no where near an expert. I have had successes and complete failures but I always learn something. Face it if there was one perfect way we would all do it. No shortcuts only progress. Personal Responsibility rules- otherwise if you follow someone else’s advice and it don’t work out, you are responsible because you chose to follow them.
 
I respectfully disagree with part of what you are saying. Imo it is easier to learn from other people's mistakes. That is how knowledge is passed down to the next generation. One would not drown a bean in water and keep it there submerged for weeks and expect a healthy plant to emerge. Extreme example, but I'm sure someone has tried it, failed, and told others. Others learned. I will agree that one may (should) learn from their own mistakes. That is what makes us better at what ever we do. Sharing the good and bad of what works or doesn't work helps others to learn, gives them a head start, and expands the possibilities of what we currently can accomplish.
 
I found the growweedeasy site long before the forums. People are lazy and would rather ask than do research. You see it all the time in Facebook groups. Not defending the lazy ones either just giving my 2 cents.
 
The only suggestion i would add if you're going to do a 'Free' link, was you could possibly make it a link to download the grow guide as a free mini-book in PDF format, as potentially people will engage with it for longer as a standalone document, rather than just clicking straight back to posting a question on the forum.



Otherwise, and i don't know if it's easily possible, my only other suggestion is regarding people who do post help questions & to get around the issue where alot of initial responders end up having to ask for further details about set-up, etc before actual answer can be given.

You could instead design a special 'Help' template for new posts in Help Section where underneath the post they have to fill out a checklist form on set-up details such as Light, Temps, RH, pH, Feeds Used, Soil Type, Pot Size, Tent Size, etc, etc, and enable it so it can't be posted without it being completed. Making multiple pic attachments mandatory before posting could be viable too. That way it would save abit of time for the people kindly responding, and people would more inclined to answer something with the facts already correctly laid out in front of them. Also possibly then the rest of the forum posting outside the Help Section could be more of a 'Lounge' or General Discussion area, and any incorrect help questions found outside Help Section get deleted with a referral message to complete the Help template instead. I appreciate this would be alot of work rejigging the whole site so might be abit too far.

There is an aspect to this discussion that I am hesitant to bring up, I do believe it is relevant. Trolls. They cause disharmony. Sometimes at first it may be difficult to tell the difference between barren ignorance that could be improved with some research and a little help, and someone who either wants it done for them, or is just purposely producing a pathetic grow to be obnoxious and cause disharmony, for what ever motivates them to do so. I am willing to steer someone in the direction that will help them learn, and someone who has done their research but is struggling with a particular issue, I have no problem helping them, so long as they are also willing to help themselves. Or myself just trying to be helpful in pointing out something that they may not even be aware of that could improve their situation or avoid a bad situation. The trolls can just go away. Sometimes, at least at first, it may be difficult to tell who is who. After a while, it becomes evident and the conversation should be discontinued. Then occasionally I see someone who I have to wonder If they are having genuine mental health issues. I can not heal the world myself, but I can have compassion and empathy for their situation. A fine line it is sometimes. End.
