there ain't no one making anyone open up a thread about say e.g., hmmm, what sex are my babies..
if you or anyone else for that matter don't feel like answering a certain thread, skip over it ffs.. i'm sure there's plenty of threads in the breeders paradise section of the site that could use your expertise..
i for one will never have an issue trying to help out the newcomer, you'll always see myself and sunni in pretty much every .. hey, i'm new here" thread on this site.. not trying to brag, just saying..g
and i also know that i for one read magazines and books about growing for about 20 years before i ever attempted to germ one seed, but still had lots of newbie questions when i first started out, and was met by lots of more experienced growers who will willing to take me pretty much by the hand and help me out. imvho, it's the way relationships are made, friends met, and shows who is more than willing to give back what was freely given to them by older members when they, i, first came to rollitup..
ok, end of rant.. i just don't see what is so hard about skipping over a thread if you don't want to answer a basic question..me, well, i try and help out when and where i can, even if i've answered that same question 50x's already..
