Glossary for Newbie's

SCHWAG is that the good stuff or is it bunk?

"An ounce of any kind of illegal drug. Usually used as a code name over the phone by paranoid drug dealers."

"Term used to describe low grade marijuana. This type of marijuana is usually brown, seedy, dry. The term is also used by many pot heads to describe anything that is low grade."

it's nothing personal. i have never like people who will not take the time to do their own homework, as you will probably find from most members. there is a hugely informative FAQ at the top of the page, google will give you any answer if you use it with common sense and there is also a glossary of words.

nothing that has been asked here couldn't have been found out with 2 seconds on google.

i honestly am not trying to be a dick, there is just a lot to know, and everyone else put in the effort of reading around to get beautiful girls, no reason we should then jsut answer any and every question for you when the answers are right there already.

peace

I am new and do most of my research but remember ....there is a word called eagerness lots of people are excited to grow...and that means a growth of interest and a growth of NORMLCY (spelled wrong on purpose)...dude there are many reasons for people to have lack of computer knowledge....if you take the time it is common sense to find them(without a glossary or google) So...
in the time it takes to say ...it's called topping ...and btw here is a link ...glossary...advice ...thread...blog...
hell I don't know what all those are...
I really don't know my way around this site...
too harsh...help and then direct where they can go ...or don't even answer...but to thrash a newcomer is rude and may possibly push them away from trying to interact...enough said on my part...I think you probably have helped many in the past and may have grown tired...but you respond because of your inate nature of wanting to helps...so I know your instinct is there to want to help....
hope this helps ...andd btw I don't know shit...lol just my thoughtspeace and power to the people of the plant!!!
And then there are people that you can just laugh and be like really..... ...I mean really....c'mon.... and not even take the energy to even entertain the idea to respond to the ridiculus...I would vote for a level system wehere if you don't know shit your not getting in the way of the serious...ever learning ...knowledge loving ...joy...
I saw thi post the other day it said ..."tell me about mollasses...I don't wanna read shit ...just give me a answer".
Do you seriously think I even thought to respond ....Hell know ......so if the adult insists on being juvenile...I pass on by...
sorry for not minding my own business

I wish all noobs knew the answer to this question, How do I use the search feature?

i know exactly what you mean valhalla but well sometimes i just get fed up, judgement not helped by the smoke and booze

someone has to get in and say NAAAAY before it get's stupid

"OK I Google lollipoping tell me how this pertains to growing pot

Urban Dictionary: lollipopping lollipopping - 2 definitions - Licking a lollipop(candy)and then applying it to a womans clitoral region to make oral sex a more pleasurable experi..."

that's got nowt to do with knowing computers etc etc etc, if som,eone genuinely believes they'll be given the correct answer on googling that word alone, and not to think of adding "weed" etc afterwards when they got such a silly result, well, sod that!

and in the same way if someone asked "how much do i feed my plant" i'd say look on the bottle of your nutes for the instructions there, take that, and then come back with a folow up question such as "will this dose be too strong initially etc". i think everyone is willing to help if the other person is willing to try and do their part too. i'm probably still classed as a bit noob, and i have to ask question, frequently, but i do try and find out first if i can (normally)

oh slk you crack me up. it's like veruca salt with downs syndrome

it's awesome to get instant answers but sometimes it's necessary to find out for yourself. it's so important to SEARCH for information, on your search you will find a thousand things along the way that you will also find interesting and look into, and then more from each search. it's the only way to get a broader understanding of growing weed. and there's always more to learn, it's super fascinating.

good luck

No I do understand the frustration I see as I spend more time around the site but hey thats where its more then helpful to be silent !I do understand ...I hope you will keep a eye on my first grow and of course "hold my hand"...lol and do I get any rep points...lmao!

Hey Tip Top, 2 of the clones I bought a couple of weeks ago have been fimmed, I just found out when I asked why I had all these crazy branches all over the place. I found info on what it is & how you do it, but I can't find any info to tell me why it continues to happen to new growth, if it will continue to happen on the 4 new stems if I top the plant for 4 colas, or if topping is even possible with all this extra branching going on. Google me an answer on that.

Oh, and just for the record. I'm a newbie who was planning on 2 weeks of research before starting. 6 weeks later I finally got started. First thing I did was to read a book "Marijuana Home Growers Manual" which had info on making "Gold Plants" (aka Super Plants) but had no good info on nutes, watering, or how to manage heat problems caused by cheap hoods. So before I knew half the basics I already knew how to make Gold Plants which is a lost art form from what I can gather. So have a little empathy for newbies, it's not like there's a step by step guide anywhere to be found.

you said it though, you did 6 weeks, read a book, same kind of story as me, i didn't plant my seeds then start asking what i should be doing. i watched lots of youtube vids, see more buds etc, and then i started, and i was still baffled, so still asked questions, but not the questions that are essential you read about before starrting anything.

there is a BIG difference between doing your research, and then gettging stuck, to being a lazy faggot who can't be bothered to do the work themselves, probably the same people that google for their coursework essay....

so i googled "whats do you call the technique of bending branches of weed to promote more cola's/growing/weed"

and you know what it told me, in the first page i think everyone of the links contained information on what you're looking for.

SCROG, LST etc. please newbs just do some reading and some logical google searches...

i haver empathy, anhd i have limits, and being a moron does not compliment my empathetic side that guy i was trying to be helpful to in a point making manner, well it;s obvious by my google search that he had not spent a second actually searching around in an even stuppid manner, i mean that was a balmy google search for me to make, i made it, it gave me EVERYTHING the questioner was looking for..
