What am I?

What do you call someone who knows a lot of theory of Cannabis and how you should treat/grow/care for the plant, but cannot for the life of you get up and actually do some growing. Well that's what I would be calling myself.

A know-it-all (almost) but never got to the fact of growing it myself at my home

lazy lol, a newbie. whats stopping you from buying some soil, solo cups and seeds and planting them?

Come and walk on this journey with us that is the growing of cannabis. Even if you never do grow, at least you can live vicariously through us growers, here on RIU.

You may think you know almost everything, but once you start growing you’ll find you know very little. Most people that grow never stop learning, and if you’re getting your info from websites and YouTube you’ll quickly learn about half of what you know is broscience or just plain wrong. Only way to find out is to grab some seeds and get started. Welcome to RIU.

A theoretician

Drop some seeds and see if your theories hold.

Can't know until you experience it first hand. If you think you can, then that would make you a fool. Overgrow will be kinder to you than here.

I think you mistook what I was saying... RIU is my favorite because people here can be a little harsh and torture newbies and make fun of stupid questions. OG is TOO nice. Everyone over there blocks or ignores anything that might come off as insensitive or offensive. It's the hopping place right now, but the constant niceties are irritating. Not to mention a whole bunch of people over there are armchair growers. It wasn't an anti-RIU thing... Just the opposite.

We used to light people up and run them off a lot. We have a larger mod team now so we are being nicer. Whether you interpret that as good or bad isn't for me to say it's about following TOS and that means not hurting people. That's all I was saying.

I get it, but come on, what the hell was the OP looking for??? I doubt it was even a legitimate question. "What am I? I'm someone who has no experience, but reads a lot, so I'm a pro- now, please respond, what am I?". It's a stupid post, and I'm not sorry for saying so. But I guess I'll be nicer if that's the way people want it.

I imagine he was looking for dialogue with a lot of pros who have the experience he lacks. Many people come here looking for friendly people to talk with about their favorite subject.

The fact one of our favorite topics is growing cannabis and ways to get high on it can make for a bit of an edgy environment. That's why many threads are necroed, silly questions are asked and seemingly meaningless inquiries take place. Because a lot of us who smoke cannabis also like to socialize and come up with weird shit to discuss, hence why our 'regular' friends maybe disinterested

Anyway if you have any more specific questions please PM me, thanks.
