Im a new grower that came to this site for help and advice to grow better and fit into a community that all feels the same way about the green. Ive been RIU for a little over a month and i would say at least 70% of my time here has been people arguing back and forth about how THEIR way is better and actually going completely around the questions us new growers are asking. Fighting and shit talking is serious here. As a new grower im here for help, advice and a community setting i can enjoy. Now there are a few that have literally guided me through my first grow and for that thank you! But click on this link and listen to what @rob VLOGS on YouTube has to say. He hit the nail on the head with this video!!

Sorry you’ve had such a mixed experience sometimes the conversations get way off kilter. Sometimes you have to just block that out and consider the information as it comes. There are a lot on here who are trying to help and learn more themselves. Good luck with your future inquiries.
You are one of the few that have helped me through my first grow! Appreciate you never any negative and thats what us new growers look for.

Yeah you gotta take it if you want to play. I work with some people who’s i think it’s their life’s duty to be shitheads.
Agreed and sometimes criticism is good especially if it is positive. I believe in tough love but i dont believe belittling someone is the way to go and unfortunately a lot of people do that here.

Thats better
Yea not hating on the site or anyone directly i mean im still on this site way to much everyday. Lol fun and most of everyone is funny af still have a good time. Just as far as good solid advice and help didnt receive it like i thought i would except from a select few people. That was my biggest point of this post was that you can still have fun but just dont forget to actually give advice/help to the person posting. After you do then play around so they are at least getting help and arent left to deal with their issues themselves.

Best thing i ever learned was that its a plant. Not magic not special just a plant. The easiest/ fastest way to sift and all together avoid bad info and broscience is research veg gardening and growing. Then apply it to your baby

The newbies on here are usually narcissists. That's where all the hate comes from.

Most people are not belittling anyone. Many just get to the point without niceties which is the way many of us communicate at times. Many adults are like that. Some of the stuff I see on here reminds me of crap from High School. A bunch of children that get all butthurt over nothing and then start crying like a baby and just keep crying post after post. It's like being on a plane with an infant in the row in front of you that won't stop crying. In your mind your screaming "Shut Up!" It's always the crybabies that won't admit their wrong that start making insulting comments to others referencing body parts and peoples mothers.

Some people think that what someone on the internet says matters. Some of us don't.

You have to realize that there is a mix of adults and kids on this site. It's easy to spot who is who. Many of the adults can be assholes but usually know what they're talking about. The kids get all whiny over nothing and won't let it go just making things worse and escalating the abuse they might be receiving. I'll just leave it at that.
