The Most Revelatory Idea This Forum Will Know

fireworksgod · #1 05-03-2008, 03:11 PM

I thought I'd share an idea that has arisen from observing a lot of grow logs over the last couple of weeks. Let me bounce it off ya'll and see if it sparkles.

Now, when coming into your grow log with new information and updates that specifically pertain to your grow, now, prepare yourselves for this, I don't want anyone to feel too faint and dizzy and smack their head on their desk or anything...

Update the original post with the new information so that the first post exists as a comprehensive documentation of the entirety of the grow!

Feel free to post it as a new post as well for all of the people who have been engaging in discussion throughout, but please consider the people who are browsing through and are looking to soak in as much information as they can. They want to see the progression and how things turned out, and having it all in the first post only makes sense. No one wants to agonize through twenty + pages of countless "great grow!" posts just to find periodic scraps of updates and the occasional picture.

Editing the first post is easy and only makes sense. Please consider this in the future as a service to the legions of marijuana growing enthusiasts who want to bask in appreciation of your kick ass grow. Thank you for your time.

Oh, and feel free to sticky this and/or implant it into everyone's brain with some sort of magnetic chip.

Great Idea!!!!! It is much easier to read but sometimes the post that follow have valuable ino that the origanl post lacks. I do agree people should not post a million grat grows or i will be watching. I think the encouragement is great, thats what rep is for.

I am new to this site(but not new to grow forums). A I found it stumbling through the internet searching for new ideas and methods as I grew board of the same old methods. IT became a job as opposed to a hobby(which is the real reason i started in the first place). The ones that remain short are the more informative ones, thats what they are supposed to be. Thats why this site has an inbox with your profile so you can send messages to the Starter of the post without junking up great post.

Are you going to implement this new technology in your grow journals ?

Does anyone know if there is a limit on post size.....It would defeat the purpose if you reached the post size limit and then had to add a post....people would still have to look for the updated info.....Good Idea though.....It would be great if people adapted this method of documenting their grows

You cant edit your own posts after a certain amount of time.
My journals first pages cannot be edited by me

all i am saying is if you have feedback for the writer of the post message him don't junk up the post log. If you have a question or important information then that is good to include for people to read. Not i will be watching or wow looks great.

Dude, I was with you about posting new info by way of editing the first post.....But suggesting that people not comment in the thread is unreasonable....Did it ever occur to you that if the original thread starter gets comments like "Looks Great" and "Ill be watching"....That, maybe he would be more inclined to Update posts with new info and pics.....Hmmmmmm

thank U NAT for kindly explaining how it is.

threadstarter:

seeing as it is encouraged for n00bs like urself to do as much reading as possible, they will only benefit from reading 20+ pages of another persons grow. ppl who "skim" the surface of the grows will never be as knowledgeable as someone who takes the time to throughly read and ask questions.

and if someone wants to know the lastest info on someones grow, they can just click the "Last >>" link when they select the page #.

Page 1 of 7 1 2 3 > Last »

i get lots of PM's about my grow. I get REALLY good questions too.. the biggest disadvantage is that no one else can see my responses to the questions.

so instead I encourage ppl to post in the thread in case someone might also have the same question, instead of answering the question in PM's a hundred times.
