Do Some Dam Research

Is it just me, or does it seem like people don't know what the fuck they are doing when trying to grow quality MJ. I've seen some pictures in the last few days, where the plants look like total shit and they are asking for advice on what to do after the plants look like they are ready for the cemetery.

Before I started my first grow, I spent weeks online researching the correct way to grow MMJ. And, it paid off. I did have problems, but my plants matured nicely and the finished bud was killer.

IMHO, there is no excuse in this day and age. Anyone can get online and find a truck-load of information about becoming a good and experienced grower. And, if a person will listen and learn, the very first plant they grow can yield a nice harvest.

When a plant is less than 1 foot tall, and it’s been in the ground for over 3 months, this is my piece of advice: Do some dam research, BEFORE, you decide to grow! You’ll save yourself time, energy, money, and you’ll be stoned in 3-4 months, instead of crying over a plant that won’t give you shit in the end!

Here is a website I used for my first grow. It's simple, plain, and can walk just about anyone through a grow cycle.

hmm, maybe i'm wrong here, so if so, my apologies.. but i always thought that's what this site was for, to get answers and replies from other people who have grown before and maybe have experienced the same issue you might have atm..

i've read all sorts of books and magazines for over 20 years before i every grew my first mj plant, but there is something to be said for experience, and taken advantage of others experience imvho.. :D

I understand what you're saying. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my original post, but I'm talking about learning how to grow before you grow. That doesn't mean you'll know everything, but at least a person will know what they are getting into before they wind up with huge disappointments in the end.

I've learned this one thing about growing MJ: It takes TIME and ENERGY. By doing good research before you throw that seed in the ground, a person will save themselves a ton of grief, a ton of time, and a ton of energy.

I post loads and im doing my first grow, I did do research I ordered books joined sites downloaded info. Not everyone is so confident. Its all trial and error and its a huge learning process. I made loads of mistakes but people on here helped me. For that I now tackle issues with my plants better. If you dont like what people post dont read it then. How are people supposed to learn if they dont have the help? You ever thought people cant always afford to go out buy books or they dont get sufficient internet access?

I didn't buy 1 book. If they are one here, then they have internet access. Hey, all I'm saying is, spend some quality time reading about the different stages of plant growth and how to put a solid grow together. Here is a website I used, and the step by step process is much easier than people think.

I did loads of research and i still ask questions, I ask because I like people to have the same idea I have so I havent mis diagnosed a problem. I understand what you mean when people just go buy the stuff and have no idea about what they are doing in the first place but most the time if people research it can be purely out of nerves. Im relying on my plants so I like to make sure they are looking good. Then hopefully next time I start over, i'll be more confident.

Wouldn't you say, that if a plant is in the ground for several months and it isn't over a foot tall, that asking for help now proves one thing: they didn't do shit for research? Trying to save someone from this kind of situation seems like a good option, because this doesn't have to happen to anyone.

How was your first yield?

Also, I joined this Forum with the intent of asking questions and refining my skills, and there are many issues that can be an unexpected bummer. But, understanding the main cycle of a MJ plant while it's growing is a “Fundamental” that every new MJ gardener should seek for.

I messed up at first I wanted the while organic and used r.o water. Stunted it big time the one was deformed. I didnt take into consideration micro nutrients. I will try r.o water when ive done some more grows. Also the guy at the hydro gave me a rubbish food, I trusted what he said and he was a jack ass tbh I found somewhere else and got some serious advicd but then again had to research too. Was stressing.
Im looking to switch to flower the beginning of next week. My thc bombs are about 45 cm and looking nice, my white widow smaller but the size of the leaves are real nice. Took me around 3 weeks to sort it, but i was hesistant to ask for help. Glad I did. I'll let you know how much I yield. I heard thc bombs yield a nice amount, dont know if its true though, do you?

I like individual questions..not How do I grow? I can't write a thesis each time. On the otherside newbies come here for help. We were all newbies..I tell em to read and see online videos. Information is there.

It happens , even to the most experienced, something gets missed ph,temp,bugs, ambient temp rises etc. What you learn from a book will help you about 5% the other 95% is gained thru hands on experience .You become a pro by making mistakes if they are corrected.

I think maybe the OP is referring to some folks that are so dumb they couldn't buy a clue and too lazy to work at all at it. I see them on here but thankfully they are the minority.

Maybe your looking in the wrong places, im first time grower, its doing great in the sig to prove. and got some people that are on their first's that are doing good too. The people who have the desire to gain the information will do it ofcourse your going to get a lot of people trying to get other people to fix their problems. But thats just like everything else. And i spent 2 year and half years lurking threads before i started mine. people who want the information are 10 search words on google away they don't need any bodies help. People want to be spoon fed

And then theirs people who genuinly don't know, this is a problem usually with navigating the web or not knowing about magazines or take advice from their dumbass friends all problems this site helps with tremendously

Also, there is a line drawn in the sand. You do realize that some people cannot post pics because their grows are huge and they are paranoid and don't go throwing pictures around?

Also pretty funny how you are bashing people for being uninformed, and you can't even spell damn correctly.
