Newbs get on my nerves

Dear mr or mrs mindphuk,, as I know you are worried about your plant looking a little wilted and yellowing,, but this is very normal for a plant that is this far along in flowering,,, as for the gravel,,, Im hoping that you had the sense to use the rocks from underneath the dog sh1t and urine as everyone knows that that is the gravel with the most nutrients,,,, now then,,,, some may say 7.5 ph is bad but not when using said flood and drain method,, that is actually a little low,,, so just ease up on those lights as you can easily put her into shock and stunt her growth with too much light,,,HUH,,, noobies,,,, Although what your feeding your dog can easily mess with the health of your girl as my girl doesnt like me to eat broccoli before I try to fertilize her insides.....

Can anyone help me? I'm running a flood and drain with composted dog shit and my own urine. I'm using gravel from my back patio because I can't buy hydroton around here. The pH indicator strips tell me I'm fine at 7.5.
I'm using 3 84w CFLs. Can anyone tell me why my leaves have brown edges are are wilting bad?

Seriously, I don't mind seeing noob questions, it's when they hijack a thread that is completely OT. People jumping in a hydro grow journal asking about nutes in their soil grow and shit like that just irritate me.
It's worse if they have a post count over 10 since they should know better by now.
Rep for the OP for bring this topic up.

as a newb, i appreciate the answers to what could be "stupid" or repetitive questions.
On the other hand, i am irritated by ignorance & "stupidity", so i research my balls off(eye balls) before i commit to a post.Afetr this aint nothing new..just new to me..so there is alot of catching up to do...

The help and knowledge is greatly apprecieted !!!!!

I see no problem with noobs asking question that may appear stupid, to those of us who have some experience. My main problem is more with self-proclaimed "experts" who repeatedly give out bad advice like it is gospel, then neg-repping or making stuff up when you point this out to them.

These people don't appear to have more than a few grows experience, and have just been lucky up to that point with their flawed methods, but they still think that they are growing gods, and everyone who disagrees is wrong, and a noob, etc.

The one thing worse than no advice is bad advice.
