Its quite funny seeing this type of thread.
There are people who will rightly give the person asking the stupid question a good ripping. And then there will be other people that will run to his rescue because they remember asking the same stupid questions.
The point is that EVERYTHING that newbies need to know is in the growFAQ. They just normally can not be arsed to read and thus just post the question.
That is pure laziness and should be treated with a swift reprimand.
Saying that if the OP had read as much info as possible and still had questions he could of at least asked them properly. As in stating more info and in general asking better.
Hell even if he had scrolled down the harvest area of this forum he would of seen the same question asked several hundred times.
I think Boneman gave the most reliable answer as what he said is exactly true. Remember people often do not like hearing the truth.
It is quite possible that nobody meant offence in their postings but were simply wrongly interpreted which is very easily done on the interweb.
Also to Ganjaglutin please stop writing every word beginning with a capital letter. It is just bad grammar.
