Asking stupid questions to get an opinion is one thing, but asking about basics that dont change is just lazy, most of the stupid questions could be avoided if people just tried.

Even research doesn't make somebody "fully know" when it comes to this subject.

Look for the information that you need, and then see if you can feasibly put it in to application. If you can't; find another method that fits in to your system. Fill your head with knowlege and try what makes sense to you, and learn through experience.

It's a LEARNING experience every time. It helps, because along with the plethora of great info on this site, there is a lot of bad info too. So it's up to you to scrutinize.

I certainly can understand the frustration some members feel seeing the same questions over and over again. But...as it has been said numerous times, this is a marijuana growing forum. If you don't want to answer the question, then don't. You dont even have to read the post. No one makes you look at General Growing or the newbie section. If it is truly that unappealing why not just post the FAQ's and guides, and do away w/ the option to post altogether. Like DoIt and Sunny said above, Sometimes people need a second opinion, or just plain encouragment. It's not like our parents said "OK. You can read now. Heres what you need to know." threw down a book and said C-Ya. If you can't "deal" w/ people asking questions, there are plenty of boards on this site.

I agree that there are some really lame questions, but those exist on every cannabis site I have been to, the thing that annoys me is looking at the gen grow area and seeing 3-4 posts asking the same question, in nearly the same way...I like to help and even encourage new growers because this is what some cool people did when I was just researching and I feel its part of what we do.

I, for one, get tired of hearing people bitch about newbies asking questions. That's how people learn - by asking questions. For all of you "read the forum" people, let me ask you - have you honestly needed an answer and tried to search for it on the forum? I have - I've also been frustrated to the point of tears from searching through almost endless posts, with either no answer at all (because everyone in the thread is telling the OP to go "read") or 20 different, conflicting opinions - yes, even on the most basic of facts (watering, for example).

Yeah - there does come the occasional question that is completely lazy (eg: I'm gonna grow marijuana - what do I do next?) - but most newbs have a more specific question, and again - it isn't so easy to be specific when you don't know what the hell you're doing!

Personally, I am more than willing to help a new grower out if I know the answer - irregardless if it's been asked before. (Hasn't everything?) If I don't like the question, simple - I skip it and move on. You complainers can do the same thing, rather than waste your time, and theirs, posting that you don't want to help them.

Peace.

1. There is no such thing as a stupid question.

2. This is the internet.

3. This is the internet.

When I decided I was going to start growing, I sat down and read the how to's before I ever bought a single piece of equipment. Dont get me wrong I appreciate all growers old and new. What I meant was, You get alot of people who buy a growing starter kit with everything you need to start but have no idea what to do with it. It would be like buying a swimming pool then asking someone else to teach you how to swim. Dont you think you should research it first. Maybe I just dont get it because I dont have that mentality. I always want to try and do it myself that way I can feel better that it was me all the way. Not some one else telling me what to do through the internet. I also feel like I get a better understanding of whats going on if I research it a little. I have no problems if someone is asking a question that is particular to there situation. But there is always some one who wants Us, the people who do sit down and do research to carry them to the finish line. If I offended anybody Sorry that wasnt the point. I just wanted to see some of the newbies put a little effort in to growing instead of just posting every thought that pops into there head (got seeds now what?, got dirt now what?, got nutes now what?, got a light now what?) For gods sake people!!

whats it to ya. dont fuckin read them if u dont like it

Sometimes if you have a plant problem it's hard to know what you are looking for just in the pictures in the stickies. I dunno how many times I've had my laptop right up to my plants with the def chart and couldn't eliminate the problem below 2-3 deficiencies. Or maybe it's nute burn! Maybe I am just overwatering? ARGH!!!

When I was on a fish forum there was a mod who had a whole article about the nitrogen cycle as their sig so she wouldn't have to expain it 204923 times. If the answer is OBVIOUSLY in a sticky they didn't read you could just copy + paste the whole article and be like READ NEWBIE

Sometimes even us newbies get frustrated with other newbies.
