While I agree with you, the opening felt like a big set up. Transparency is the highest form of legitimacy. He could have avoided "15 pages of bashing" had he been open from the get go. I mean ANYONE interested in growing would have to start somewhere. So he come here and asks this dumb shit? You could have found the answer in one google search. Which brings me to the OP
No shit you need a lot of it. But rather then opening a thread to have people say the same shit thats only been posted 10k times, maybe you should try reading. This isnt a thread of "information on growing". theres thousands of those. No this is a thread about some redonkulous stuff some dude posted on here. Who then tells everyone he owns a weed shop.
I thought this whole thread was a big joke at first. Took me a couple of pages to realize you were serious....
Imo if you want to learn to grow pick one of the grow journals. Theres only hundreds to chose from. between strains, methods, mediums ect ect. When you dont know, spend 85% of your time reading. Then ask questions about specific details you dont get.
