02/19/12 Notes

Happy Sunday everyone!

So, I joined RIU a short time ago in the hopes of finding a forum that is both friendly, welcome, informative and helpful. Though at times I find this, I also find that there is a segment of self-described 'elitists' on here that are quick to point out your own faults quicker than you realize you even had them...while not providing any solution by way of experience or knowledge.

In other words, it seems that some people on here just want to call you out to either look better than you or to incite a flame.

Personally, I have begun to go 'out of the box' of my own threads lately to help others...sometimes my advice is spot on and very useful...sometimes I am stoned or tired and provide a wrong piece of information(I am not perfect nor try to be)...however, at least I am attempting to make RIU a better community for all with what little experience I have and know.

Despite this, I always tend to see someone just trying to incite a flame. Why is this? I really do not understand it.

We are on an anonymous site that is merely based on helping each other in a passion we all mutually enjoy. Furthermore, we are all stoners who have a common purpose(cannabis cultivation) as well as a common enemy(anti-cannabis agendas). Why would we want to do this to eachother, and make people such as myself(who enjoy helping others) move away from RIU?

I seriously think I may just start rounding up the people I consider the 'best on RIU' and create my own invite-only forum. I certainly have the know how and capital to make something like this happen.

Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions on how we can make RIU a better place for all are welcomed here and in all my threads.

But I digress. On to the more important matters at hand.

The Blueberry plants have begun swelling nicely. They have also begun pushing forth an adequate amount of trichomes, the colors are continuing to shine through as well.

As a special treat, I snapped a few shots of one of my very special "Black Vanilla" (Vanilla Kush phenotype) plants from Barney's Farm, which are also on Day 50. They will be posted after the blueberry plants.

On to the pics!

She turns black at week 5-6. SCRoG'ed with a cage. Pretty special....very spicy Kush smell and a head that will knock you out, pull your socks off and curl your toes. Very. Strong.

Enjoy!

Those look awesome!!!

very nice. im late to the party but now im seeing that i am right on time. nice grow.

Snafu, you owe me a new pair of shorts from all this bud pr0n! Jeeeee-zus. I don't know which one looks better right now, BB or BVK--

I am with Bobo on this one, new shorts and a towel please! That BVK looks fucking amazing! Tell me you have several clones of that sexy lady. Very well spoken words and huge props to you Snafu. I look forward every week to seeing your updates. So detailed, well put together and yay for proper grammar! Keep up the phenomenal work.

Looking fantastic as always Snafu! Excellent work!

Regarding what I call the "punk-ass element" on RIU. I have a theory about the underlying force that encourages that sort of behavior, but I truly believe there is no excuse for it. I think we get a double whammy from the internet factor of anonymity, and the prohibition-fueled "elite" attitude of people with access to good pot. The street dealers like to hold power over their customers by bragging about how much they know about weed/growing/connections, etc. I think some of those punks carry their attitude online where it is expressed to the extreme thanks to the anonymity factor. One thing I've noticed in support of my theory is that the folks on the Colorado Patients section of RIU are all very helpful and supportive of each other. These are people who are definitely not street dealers. We are all growing for ourselves and maybe a few other patients. Many of the folks on that forum also know each other from personal interactions. If someone has access to a special cutting or has made an interesting cross, they share amongst the group.

It's unfortunate that we have to deal with the punk-asses but the best approach is just to ignore them and hope they go away.

Well spoken words, Med. I believe you are right on target here.

Funny thing is, I originally started my hobby so I could get away from all the 'street' aspects of it all. Figured supplying my own demand was the best way to go, and it has not failed me yet.

Guess that's why the 'punk ass elements of RIU', as you so accurately described it, get me so much---I've experienced it before. Just hate to see it in such an otherwise great online community.

Thanks for your support since I've been on RIU, you're a great grower and an even greater friend.
