I am a newbie myself so please dont get offended by me saying this. Please stop asking stupid questions. I make sure to read all the old threads on here before asking a question that has already been answered 4 or 5 times. There is more than enough info and pics to get through any problem. I feel like some of you newbies just arent as comitted as you should be. As if the weed is going to just grow itself and tell you what it wants. Well actually it does but you dont understand what its saying to you. I am sure that all the experienced growers on here get sick of reading the same old newbie problem threads (ex: PROBLEM NEWBIE NEEDS HELP!!!!). Jesus Just read a little bit!

I am not really that mad but seriously some of you make the rest of us newbies look bad. Put in a little effort!

as a "veteran" member (and i hardly consider myself even close to that) i must applaude you for your efforts... it does get old seeing the same questions over and over...

BUT....

the truth is, it wont stop... its just the way it works.. there are a good portion of people who do read and research, look and find their answers, and are willing to spend the time doing so.. there is also, however, an equal portion of people who dont care to spend anytime trying to answer their own question, and instead will post the same question that may have been asked 3 times in the same forum right before they asked...

a lot of time i will skip repeat questions, especially if the person asking doesnt seem to be the person that would look to find the answer.. if its obvious they dont care, why should i??

Whats funny about it is they are the ones with the most problems. Because they do not research it they dont fully know what it is that they are even talking about.

is it better to learn from humans or to stare at a stack of literature? whats the point of this site why dont you just google harvest pics?

I personally find reading through most long posts completely useless or next to it... trying to find that needle in a haystack... so many inane post that contain no information, or people bitching or saying how much they like each others plant... and I also find the search functionality on this site sucks!

and so it goes...

although i agree that asking questions is the best way to learn... i also think that the person learning should be willing to put some book time in to reading and learning what they can on their own as well...

when you go to school the teacher gives you homework.. why?? so that the responsibility of whether or not you learn as a student is up to you.. they are there as a support system... to help guide you and help you learn.. but their sole purpose isnt to learn for you or to do the work for you.. its to help you...

there are plenty of "new" growers who dont want to learn or care to learn.. they want you to tell them what to do and how to do it.. basically they want you to be the teacher and the student, and they just set back, do minimal work, and reap the benefits...

i have my own grow.. i dont need to have another grow through someone hundreds of miles away... thats where the grower needs to take the initiative of learning some things on their own by researching.. and if they still dont know... to ask... there may not always be someone there to hold their hand through things... and its growers like that, the ones that it is apparent they want you to grow their shit for them, that i hate answering questions for...

i really dont mind helping out and answering questions... i have an entire thread in newbie central that is a grow guide for new growers that i offer to answer anything anyone asks in.. i can almost say, with a level of certainty, that anything anyone needs to know is in there.. im sure i've covered most everything that can be covered at one time or another in it.. but there are a good amount of people who, instead of spending some time reading through it to see if there the answer they need in it, will just start a new thread and ask...

granted, not all the time do i want to skim through 40 pages to find what i am looking for.. but i do.... because im responsible for my grow.. and if i still cant find what i need, then i ask... but its rare.. with a little time and patience its not hard to find any answer that one may have a question to, with a little looking and searching..

There are a lot of kids (some in their 30s) who come here and have never had to search for anything in their lives, they've just asked someone to hand it to them. So it isn't surprising.

Some of the questions asked on RIU, really do suck. But unless the person is completely retarded I'll do my best to help them. My favorite question...... "Is this a pot plant?"

I was one who asked a ton of questions, and sometimes, i still do. I have also used, and still use, the power of the internet and books to reaqd up on something new before I try. However, I will not only read, but also ask advice from marijuana GROWING FORUMS to get opinions and reviews and try to learn from other people's trial and error. What is to say that everything you read on the internet is correct. *sarcasm*

Everyone starts off new at some point. If you aren't willing to help, then don't. But don't begrudge other people asking for it.

If it wasn't for many people on this site willing to take some time and patience to teach a very new "green" girl how to grow, I would of never been as successful as I am today. I owe most of my knowlege to the people on this site willing and kind enough to answer quite a number of my "stupid questions".

Most of the time, all I needed was some assurance and support.
