Too many experts on RIU

There are too many "experts" on this site. I think the majority of these self proclaimed experts, would do better in this section...

Like everything else, I've come to MJ growing with a positive attitude. It's natural medication, that encourages positive moods. I even went as far as getting licensed to avoid any legally negative outcomes.

With all that said, I figured I'd join, share, advise, and learn from other like minded people. Rollitup seemed perfect... But the majority of the responses in these forums leave me feeling more annoyed than anything...

So I will take a step back and enjoy this website as an observer, and I'll leave the forums to others with a higher tolerance for pride in ignorance.

**btw, I don't deny that all forums are like this.. This was the only one that I joined...

Like you said all forums are like this. Lol
I'm no expert all I know is what I learned through months of hardcore research. Any help you could give us noobs would be amazing. And if someone responds and they are wrong prove they are wrong. Most will wise up and stop arguing with you

Positive atittude? Yeah right. Although there may be a few with wrong shit, it does not mean that everyone or every thread is the same. There are so many folks in here that are EXPERTS and its your instincts to weed out the ones that aren't. Every site will have those wanna be experts. its up to you to see who are not.

I guess its better that you do step back with atittude like that.

Looks like you just joined .All forums are like this .Really where else are you going to find such a large pool of growers with experts.
I would have to say by your comments this is a case of user error . "YOU" have to spend some time on here and actually learn who the experts are . The resources are here for you to learn who they are . Look for ppl who have an old join date and start viewing their threads .
You dont jump in the pool if you don't know how to swim , you got to get your feet wett first .I owe my sucess soley to this site .Check my threads for proof . I went from sickly streached out low yielding plants , to healthy big green bushes ! Thank YOU RIU !

Take everything with a grain of salt man, the best thing you can do is buy books and read up on it. Trail by error is really the only way your going to learn.
There are a lot of good people here that can help though!

Theres always some douche bag that comes out of the woodwork that's been growing for 10-20 years, and says some shit that contradicts everything you've heard. I'm no expert, but I've been reading on this stuff for years, and years, and I have a decent understanding of the basics.

Exactly. What works for some might not work for others. It's also pretty damn hard to diagnose plant issues over the internet.

The whole internet is like that. You have to seek out the truth and that doesn't come easy. I'm still new to grow and here but I wouldn't have gotten here this fast without some of these people. I searched out and found a good group of guys to hang out with and all's good. I'm not telling you who cause I don't want to ruin a good thing so you'll have to find your own click. Soooo much time and money saved being here.

RiU? Shoot. Welcome to the internet, friend. Lots of phonies, but lots of creativity too. As with everything though, do your own research. Someone gives you advice on politics, or a car, or the law, or where to eat or a potential date - listen, get new ideas - take advice with grace and a grain of salt but in the end its always about doing your own research. Don't let other people's egos get in your way. Hope you don't go too far we all learn from each other!
