Weren't you a noob once yourself? hmmm......

However I do have to agree somewhat. Every post/thread I see now days is in the grow faq. Or even if they just searched using the "search" link. *sigh* But I think mainly they don't rely on themselves too much b/c they are afraid they are going to fuck up. So to the ones who ask how things look, hey atleast they did it, I would be happy to look and to critique(sp?) if necessary. We can't have all the answers all the time though.

O.K. you do have the ones that will ask a question,, I will try to help,, then they turn on you and try to get others to join in to bash you,, or,, my plant doesnt look right, whats wrong with it,, I ask for a pic, and they reply no camera, dont know what strain,, I ask more questions,, they get mad,,,A bit frustrating..... How much will I yeild, unknown strain.... Sometimes its hard to keep civil....... But I do like to help people do a good job,,, is that so wrong,lololol..................................................................................

How Long Should I Veg My Plant??????????????????????

Why Do Zebra Have Stripes??????????????????????????????

WHAT STRAIN IS MY PLANT??????

I Really Do Have Some Fun On Riu,,,, As Some Of You Know.. Its All Good,,, Everyone Has A Bad Day Sometimes....................................

It dont really piss me off but it kinda does bum me out,for no other reason than i get the feeling from many that they want it all right now,hence the non research or unwillingness to research anything,its faster just to ask a zillion questions.

It depresses me because most who do this will never be able to get any decent bud,or get good enough at it where it will be a skill they'll have with them for the rest of their lives.

Real knowlege on any subject does not come from asking quick questions,it comes from hands on experience,common sense & figuring things out for one's self,i feel this is lost on many noobs,questions should be saved for things a person has tried to figure out to no avail,not fired off in hopes of a miracle grow that'll never come to fruit.

Impatient people have a much harder time at things vs people who put forth maximum effort, i see the impatience costing them the knowlege needed to do what they came here for in the first place.

Look out, The KGB Post Police has spoken....when people are new to this forum/forums in general, You can't expect them to read all the Info that is available....It takes a fair amount of reading and searching to "maybe find" the answer to you question....I asked some of those dumb questions when I was new to this forum and I would like to thank RIU members for taking the time to answer my Questions....I also clicked on alot of those dumb questions people were asking....myself being a newb to growing....I have learned an awful lot from the Dumb questions others have asked....so thanks to all you Dumbasses that ask questions....

if every 1 helped 1 pepson ever day the world would be better.
NOW GO SMOKE

I just looked at mstrymxer's threads that he started....Dammed if I don't see some noob questions there....Ah Ha...what do you have to say for yourself...Hmmmm!!!

Its true you need too do some of your own research. This site is the main one that I have learned a lot from. I get every weed mag I can find and I am always on roll it up. The more knowlage you read the smarter you get right?

with one correction.. the more accurate knowledge you read ....

well not that it bothers me... but the grow faq's were created for a reason.. and alot of ppl seem to not find them lol... and yes there is alot of dumb questions but ya know what I think... anyone of any age can get on here, and if someone is asking what a light cycle is or something incredibly stupid in my opinion it must be a younger kid trying to grow a few bagseed he got off a bud in a shoe box with an incadescent light lol ... so I dont reply back I just laugh at the post and begone lol...

wasnt everyone a newb at some stage?.

also newbs might not be able to use the faq.

just like i havent been on this site for months and im also finding it hard to navigate my way around the new layout of the site.
where as berfore i could do it with my eyes closed.

just give the newbs a break and if they ask a stupid question, navigate them to the faq and dont make them look stupid.

like you have made your self look.

this is why i stoped comming around if you come here every day you see the same ? asked over and over again.

this might not happen if the searched worked?

im sure im stilll classed as a noob but hey i dont care but i actually dont mind readin through other peoples prblems and trying to solve them or reding where more experianced guys have solved them
makes me feel kinda warm inside
and anyways what else would we all be looking at on here? it would then just be reduced to grow journal's
daz

bring the questions its all good i love the RIU for giving us this opportunity even to rant. bring the noise!!!!!!!

Yes it is a pain to see the same question asked three times on the same page.My god are some of these people blind.The thing that bothers me the most is,some straight person coming on here and seeing the same question asked three times thinking potheads are realy STUPID.OPH

ya the search option definately does not work at all imo
