Mentor needed. inquire within

so, im having great difficulty growing again. i used to grow like 3 or 4 years ago, with usually pretty good results. now, upon starting up the hobby again, I have had a series of problems but get mixed answers when i post the problem. so heres what im after. . .

an intermediate to experienced grower that can possibly provide answers to my problems. I am willing to take pictures, and give exact details for the obstacles i encouter.

any question you have about my set up, i will do my best to answer, and any advice you give i will follow as best as possible.

thanks in advance, i know this seems kind of desperate, haha. -tgibbs

sorry bro but sounds like you need to READ not try to hook someone to answer all your questions just to satisfy their ego listen my man knowledge will set you free im free i was not when i started the best thing i could do for myself was to get mad when i did no t get answers when i wanted them and right away

i started to read everything not just here other sites to i read subjects i was not interested in every day id go to forums go down the list read at least five that sound good per section then go to the next

good luck in finding someone to be your crutch i reread it thinking i missed what was in it for them and i did not miss it, it was not there

good luck

fair enough. i wouldnt being asking from step to finish what to do. id just have a few questions, and i thought it would be easier if i had a single person perspective, after i try to find out what it is myself and if i cannot.

Hell just ask your question ...someone will help you.....

i know someone will answer it, but i usually get like 5 different answers. if no one wants to do it then no big deal. relax

that is the problem here in the end you still have to make your own decision

cause 3 will say its black,3 will say its white , 3 will say its gray, then there is the blind guy that swears its orange and start trashing you

so better to hold your own knowledge and be responcible to your own plants if you listen to wrong person its on you nobody going to replace your seeds,nutes,power, or anything else that gets destroyed - but you you will be responcible - so it pays toreadup before you germinate -
what i did at first just started to grow and asked with ergency every time i had a problem or question- sometimes i got no answers and got frustrated
if you think thats the way to go, go for it -i think one should educate ones self first -just my thoughts on it

i mean you well
good luck

most people on here are just out to try and help growers, who knows that stupid answer someone gave you might just be the godsend....

Ive spent the last 4 years doing exactly what Dwezelitsame said about reading and researching and asking questions only to come out with even more questions than i went in with.I have one person i talk to about growing and i tell him of the answers ive discovered and we talk about them and see if they are what they are.
What im trying to say is there are as many grow guides as there are people answering questions for you here And there all different.Even the Grow guides all differ in some way or the other yet creating more questions.
Dude if you need help i am more than happy to help you.

I dont view it as hes looking for a crutch just someone he can talk to about what problems hes having.cause lets face it you will get 25 different answers and more than half of which dont have any idea what the hell there are talking about and only write what they read in some other post.
One question, what has to be in it for you? i dont understand.The guy asks for someone to talk to and your looking to get something out of it.
And to go and only read 4 or 5 posts that looked good and move on doesnt sound like a good idea to collect info dude.Im not trying to bash ya, but do you know how many posts i get from people like you,That i think post just to get credit for a post and tell you absolutely nothing.Saying stuff like you need to do more reading,Im not going to grow it for ya,or just plain misinform you just to be spiteful.
I stopped asking questions and now i try to answer any and all questions and throw my help out there for anybody that wants it,and not look for what was in it for anybody.Its thinking that way that has this country so fucked up.Theres nothing in it for me so screw them
Well for all those looking for answers I will do my best to inform you with the best of my knowledge.I dont claim to now it all and niether can anyone else but i will never give you an answer like go read some more
PEACE

I'd be more than willing to give you a hand, but would have to hear the details of your setup, first, or be part of designing your setup. If you go soil, set up your grow similar to my own,(see link at bottom) and follow me from the beginning, I can guarantee a successful grow.


Also, with so many differing opinions/methods, I recommend going with one mentor only. More than one, and you're inviting unnecessary risk.

Understand the dilemma, with so many opinions who knows what's correct? Best to get a couple of good books and after you've read them you'll have a better idea of what's bullshit and what isn't. I'm no expert but over the years I've made plenty of mistakes. I'm doing my first ScrOG now so still learning that but if you have questions regarding soil or hydroponics (besides ScrOG) I've probably screwed it up before and would be happy to share my experience. Best of luck, don't get frustrated, there are more good folks here than bad - the bad are just a little louder...

...some of these people want you to put more energy in your answers then they put in the question...they piss me off with that! A questioning person that has done absolutely no research is just pure lazy, and is destine to fail due to lack of perserverance. I like to bash them types....I guess I'm evil, idk. But, ligit educated questions with obvious frustrations, I always go all out for them.

...if a newbie, or wanting to try someone else's technique to a "T", I'd jump into the grow journals...or, just pm'em.

I used to be one of those people who lacked the correct terminology and spent hours doing research every chance i get.But when i asked a question i was greeted with such responses as go do some more research or nobodys gonna grow it for ya.That used to piss me off.sometimes what is so blatently obvious to some may not be that obvious to others.So we ask questions cause researching it has created more questions.Then you get people like you who have assumed that the person asking the question hasnt done any research and you leave posts bashing them.9 times out of 10 the person bashing doesnt know the answer anyway,Going back to what i said before its just people posting just to get credit for a post.
And hes not asking to copy someones technique,again another assumtion, he wants help with what he is either doing wrong or how to improve.
To all those who like to post like dicks,quit assuming and try to answer them the best way you know how no matter how easy the question is.You would think the easier the question the more answers you would get.instead they belittle you simply because IMO they dont know either

...this is just some of the information that can be quickly aquired online. I read/watched for years before I attempted to grow and wasn't stump'd on any terms that I can remember....which leads me to believe that the uneducated questions I view often from lazy newbies, are just that...LAZY people acting incompetent....and is offensive to a degree....and this is why, EXPERIENCED growers donot usually answer. I mean, realistically...if a guy can't follow simple instructions, or has poor comprehension, I doubt they'll get it no matter who is feeding the info...growing is not for everyone.

Well, in that case, he isn't looking for a "mentor", he's looking for someone trustworthy, to answer ALL his question. That's alot to ask from one guy, and I think that if a person were to take that responsibility, that the OP should listen to every recommendation that the mentor gives. I agree, it isn't necessary to mimic a grow exactly. My logic, was that I would never trust anyone who wasn't growing similar to my own setup, unless I followed that person around for awhile, investigating his credibility. So, if one was to put in that much effort in finding a mentor, he might as well spend all that energy into reading/researching growing, learning for himself. IDK man, I'd want to be certain that I'm successful, and IMO, the only way to do that, is to view the mentors actual results, from beginning to end(a journal), setup a grow that's similar to his, then follow his instructions. After that first successful grow, then it'd be time to experiment with his own ideas, otherwise, he's playing with fire. A person to take on the responsibility of mentoring somebody who isn't going to follow their instructions exactly, is wasting their time. There's too much risk of problems, then getting blamed for it. I'm not saying that any of that was implied, I'm just saying that it'd be wise to go with something proven to work.

wow i can't believe the shitstorm this thread created. i don't see what the beef is with the op. he grew before, had some success, thought he had it figured out, now he started again and it's not such smooth sailing. i think it's safe to assume based on the first post that the dude IS doing research. research, when done CORRECTLY, will in fact produce more questions than it answers. rather than putting 30 minutes into writing all of this foolishness telling the guy how lazy he is, just let the dude ask his questions. i mean he had the courtesy to explain very clearly what he needs. either answer him or ignore the thread. he doesn't need 14 consecutive posts directing him to google. i think the first one sufficed.

heres a link to a journal i started with pics and basic information. anyone who would be willing to help please refer to that. thanks for the support. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/381988-new-journal.html
