New grower here

Hello everyone new grower here looking for a mentor or mentors for some guidance any takers would be much appreciated thanks guys.

Welcome to RIU, and the wonderful world of cultivating the world's most misunderstood and feared medicines!!!

The only 'advice' I can give you or anyone is to read and learn and then apply what you have read and learned to your garden and you cannot fail. Anyways, remember the search tool is your friend...Lots of folks here willing to help a new farmer get up and growing. But at the end of the day your grow will be only as good as the knowledge and work you put into it.

It is always great to ask questions but do not take anyone's advice or opinions and follow blindly. Do your own research, you will be much happier knowing you have done it for yourself and by yourself. The first buzz you get from your own budz...is by far the BEST high you will ever have!

BK is the man, He's got all the right information, long as you present it the right way! Shoot his journal a follow, you wont regret it.

Rite on Bro I can see where your coming from just new to the forum thing so not to sure how to get around.

The best ways to 'get around' are to A) jump on in and get your feet wet...the hydro is fine! LOL! and B) Use the search tool...it is your friend and C) READ ALL THE STICKIES in the Newbie Central forum. This will provide not only all the answers to a lot of basic questions...it will also show that you are willing to do some research...and last but not least it will help keep you from being trolled...Unfortunately RIU as well as ANY public internet forum is full of them little bastards. So be careful out there...make some comments, ask some questions, learn, and...GROW!

Thanks brotha man!!

Welcome to the RIU community! As a new grower myself, I have found a vast plethora of quality information in this forum. However, as pointed out, you need to do your own research as well. Asking questions that have already been answered 1000 times is a very easy way attract the trolls within this forum. With that being said, ask questions about what you have read, what you've watched, or specifics about your grow.

Now don't get me wrong, definitely don't be afraid to ask questions. I mean, thats a big reason why many of us joined RIU in the first place. When asking questions, I have found that the more information you can provide about your grow such as strain, lights, growing medium, nutes being used, etc the better quality answer you will receive from others on the forum.

Keep in mind that you are the grower of your garden, and although tips and advice are great, at the end of the day YOU have to make the decisions that are going to affect your crop. In my opinion, the most important thing is to continue learning and to never think you know it all.

Last little bit of advice, as I know this drives me and others insane, if you are asking questions about your plants and choose to post pictures make sure your HPS or LED is not on as it makes it virtually impossible for anyone to give a quality opinion on whats going on with your plant.

Again, welcome to the RIU community and best of luck with your growing experience!

^^^What they said^^^
Collect opinions (plenty on here ) then make your own...

Although a thick skin can help at times lol.. but we're a pretty cool bunch really

Welcome to RIU, my advice is burn your plants and harvest early just to get it out your system.

Hello.. First and foremost, never get butt hurt here. We play and troll alot around here.

Welcome to the fam.

So my first question is what do you have planned? Strain, lights, room and etc..

I can help you get pro yields if you listen to me. It's simple AF. But your lucky that we've cut the guess work out for you..

So what's the plans? We will start from there.

Well I'm going to be using a 2x2x6 tent strain unsure of trying to find the best online place to shop. When I say new grower I mean new grower lol.
