Hey dill- been reading this since you started it a longtime ago.. Small suggetion- when you post harvest pics, you should keep it in a new thread instead of downsizing this one.. This thread could definitly be used as a schematic for other people to go by.. Just my 2 cents..

Please read the thread if you want more information. I posted a disclaimer about this not even three days ago. And if you're going to roll your eyes at me then get the fuck out. :cuss:

wow, that was kind of harsh, lol. You should put your disclaimer in your sig if you expect it to get read by everyone that clicks on your thread the first time and just reads the last page.

dillweed dont be a dickweed people come on this forum for answers not for assholes. Do you really expect everyone to spend hours sifting through 55 pages of posts?

The way my setting are there are only 14 pages, not 55. Check your control panel to adjust your settings.

And since I just had four people in a row basically call me an asshole, then fuck it.

not calling you an asshole bro, just thought was a little harsh, that's all. If your gonna have a 5 star journal, you gotta expect people everyday to stumble on it for the first time, see your awesome pics, and ask a question that's already been answered half a dozen times. Price of fame i suppose.

*edit* some people prefer to not adjust their page settings, especially on such a picture heavy forum, long load times, HUGE pages that are almost impossible to find your place on if you stop reading, etc.

Keep up the good work.

Let's keep this in mind:

1. The Grow Journal section, more so than others according to RIU rules, is at the creative disposal of the author of the thread. In this case, that's Dill.

2. Regardless of whether or not you agree with his method of communication, he has the right to make such requests, especially considering he DID post a very calm and polite request that people do not ask basic questions without reading a bit to see if they are answered.

3. If you expect someone who has learned a lot, through their own reading, trial and error, and from other respected growers, to just impart that knowledge upon you when you are not willing to do even a LITTLE work is frustrating, disrespectful, and rude.

Dill has been patient for long enough, now he's done. He made that clear politely earlier in the thread, so you can blame him for getting annoyed? Maybe you can disagree, but its HIS thread and HIS right. While MAYBE he would have gotten farther with another friendly reminder, MAYBE not.

Maybe 3 days from NOW, someone is just going to do it again, and its annoying....

I agree jesse...and I don't think Dill was out of line. If you want to really learn then you read..before you ask questions. If everyone can just realize that this is "Dill's" grow journal and we should all respect his wishes.

Dill... Gypsy made a seperate forum from his grow journal for reasons like this. Maybe start a Q&A thread and link it in your sig to avoid your grow journal from being cluttered..just a thought.

Regardless..Dill has a great setup and great plants, if you really want to find out how he got from start to finish then you will take the time to read the entire journal. The longest ones are usually the best ones to take the time and read.
Cheers, Boulderhead!

Thanks, Jesse! You are the man! bongsmilie

I am not trying to come off like a jerk, but it really does get frustrating when you get the same 3-4 basic questions asked literally more than 100 times either in the thread or via PM. I feel like an asshole if I don't respond to each and every one of those inquiries but I feel as though it clutters up the thread even more if I do, let alone consumes a good deal of time. It's kind of a Catch-22 if you know what I mean.

I don't want to put a disclaimer in my signature because I frankly don't think I am anywhere important enough to do so. Neither is this grow. I mean, sure I know it is a very nice setup for a personal user and maybe even beyond the wildest dreams of some other regular folks but it means nothing in the grand scheme of things. The reason I posted this journal was to show other folks that have at least some knowledge of growing how easy it was to do it on a larger scale and to yield between 2-2.5 pounds a few times a year for not a lot of money if they need to.

This thread and the methods I use are a bad idea for newbies and people who haven't grown anything yet. I researched growing for over a year before I even attempted to sprout my first seed.

Having said that, I apologize to anyone I may have offended but if you could only put yourself in my shoes for a few moments (like when my PM box gets flooded with a dozen questions in a single day) then you would see where I was coming from.

Picture update coming tomorrow and also I will start compiling a pre-harvest checklist for everyone to check out as well. I will be making a list of everything you would need to harvest this much weed in one day. Stay tuned! :joint:
