Lack of responses seems to be an issue on this forum. Most of these people really piss me off because they think they are gods of growing. Everyone had to start at the beginning sometime and they all act as if they are too good to help us. I had to post several times over a period of a few weeks, just to get a freaking response from somebody and they replied with the same smart ass remark "do some research and browse the forums before you start asking noob questions". FUCK YOU PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT!!!!! i guarantee that same person would not enjoy that exact response when thrown their way when they just started out growing. The fact is, that most newcomers do a lot of research on their questions before they ask them (and there are some that don't), but most serious newbies will gather up as much knowledge as possible before diving in head first. Most of the veterans only post in pre-existing threads that have been going on for years...and then you expect the newbies to browse through 1000+ pages for that one freaking thread!? GFYS! The search option is not very accurate in case you haven't noticed. Each individual is different than the next, and that person might have a harder time understanding the info that is put down in typing. Some of the miscommunication is because of the extremely poor quality of grammar that is spoken by at least half of this forum. Im not here to cause any problems, but i do tend to want to speak out for the little guy who can't get his voice heard over the pathetic pukes who run this dictatorship. <---smart asses. I am not a novice when it comes to growing any greens but like you, i do tend to have a few questions that rise up throughout the growing process. The fact remains the same; treat the newbies with some respect and a timely efficient answer and you shall receive it in return. This is a "Growing Forum". How bout we all learn and grow together as a community of people who enjoy the same wonderful fruits of life! Growing doesn't just apply to plants, it also applies to people and the planet we live together on. And together we should be able to grow and prosper for the sake of a better life! Cheers!

First, please learn how to indent or at least hit return between every 2 - 3 sentences so its not so hard to read your post.

Second, I understand your frustration, but this post makes you look like a mad 13 year old kid.

Yes, you are right. There still are some decent people who don't act so arrogant and are willing to help another person out. I had been browsing this forum for at least 6 months prior to actually joining as a member just so i could confirm all my questions before i posted my first thread. But i still received the same smart ass remarks "browse the forum and so on...blah blah".

Bakeddude: yeah, sorry about the lack of paragraphs or indentations. Im usually so good at remembering to space out my posts. I guess i got a little too into my thread that i forgot to correct it with proper spacing, and i was well aware of how this posts might make me 'appear'. But i really don't care what other people think of me. I just felt that the little guy needs to be heard and a lot of them are just too scared to speak up for fear of coming across like a jerk or a child. I have been through the thick of modern combat, so i can assure you that i am not a child. But my history has prompted me to stand up for those who cannot or will not do it for themselves. Hence the reasoning behind my post...

Thank you both though, for your input. I appreciate any responses whether positive or negative. No worries either way...

No member is obligated to help or provide beginners with tips.

Be glad you got any.

That seems kind of low. Your response is borderline rude.

And you are absolutely right! it is a full moon! i noticed people starting to act weird last night. I almost got killed by a landscaping truck on the way home from the hydroponics store!!

This thread insults me.

I go to UNANSWERED THREADS a dozen times a day, and if the new member is asking about anything besides SOIL, I answer him with a good answer.
THE BUBBLEHEADS are a group here who promised to help the newbies too, and you see them answering newbs very often here.

There are alot of good people on here.
There are some assholes on here.

There are some people who couldn't grow lint.
There are some people who grow decent bud and then suck their own d!ck like they just cloned a unicorn.

Take it with a grain of salt. Most people are pretty cool on here but, they're still people.
