Sorry, I can't let this comment slide. It just doesn't sit right with me.
So wait, you're telling me I just have to put this little seed in some dirt and it grows? No fucking way man, that is a mind blower right there. Why have I been wasting my time these past 3 months reading and researching methods and techniques of growing MJ if all I have to do is just throw the god damn seed in some dirt?! Jesus, I've been wasting my time! Just throw the bitch in some dirt, whodathunkit? Get outta here with that shit man.
See what I did there? There is more to all this growing than just 'throwing your seed into some dirt'. Way more. I'm sure if you like to smoke some garbage weed (I've looked at your plants, they are beautiful, not saying you smoke garbage) than yeah man, throw that bitch in some dirt and call it day! But that's not what we do here, now is it? No sir, there is a lot of science and knowledge behind all of this and simply coming thru this thread and telling the OP "hey man it's just dirt, it's not rocket science" is absolute BULLSHIT and it's cocky and it's fucked up if you ask me.
The details matter. The details matter, and guess what? The details matter folks. Help your fellow growers out, answer their questions. Don't just say - hey man, its just dirt, it's not rocket science. Because it's NOT just dirt (I work with dirt every day of my life for the past 10 years, I know what DIRT is) and yeah, it may not be ROCKET science, but there is a whole helluva lot of science involved with growing organically. Sure, you can 'keep it simple' and really organics, does keep it simple. But when you start asking why and how... you learn very quickly - it's not so simple.
I came to this thread originally because I have a similar issue as the OP, sorta. I came here looking for answers, some help. What do I find? I find some cocky asshole saying "it's just dirt it's not rocket sceince" Well, shit. That helps me out a lot. I'll tell ya what man, if it was so simple and it was 'just dirt' and all we have to do is throw the seed in some dirt and watch it grow - then there would be no need for these forums or any of the other countless other sites just like this one out there. There would be no need to ask questions or learn anything, because hey man, all you gotta do is throw it in some dirt - no PHD required, right? Understand what I'm saying now? The details matter, there is more to this than just throwing a seed in some fucking dirt and watching it grow.
I do not want to create waves or enemies here. I'm here to LEARN, I'm here to soak up knowledge from all of you experienced growers. But when I come across some cocky asshole saying some shit like, "hey it's just dirt man..." ... "Don't need a phd" I tell ya what that just rubs me wrong man. We're all here to share information and help each other grow some dank smoke, whether it be used medically or to just catch a buzz to relax and get away from this fucked up world we live in - we're all here for the same reason - learn the best methods and techniques to grow some killer dank.
