You donāt need to be a gardener to grow a weed.
You need common sense, patience, and an internet connection of your choosing.
Instead of doing a little homework, you torched your plants, then waited til the 11th hour to hit the panic button. Just like 75% of the ānewbieā posters on here.
I understand DetroitJoes frustrations. I also respect him as a grower and a long-standing contributor to this community. However, delivery and tact are easy to dismiss when just typing on a forum. His reaction to this situation was certainly calloused, but it is difficult to keep the PC gloves on when reading post after post of people that put zero effort into this craft then come to the farm looking for someone else to fix their fuck-ups.
This is not yesteryear. We have volumes of information available within seconds straight to our eyeballs. We have hundreds of accomplished growers here that love to teach and help. We also have a search function!!! When I started growing indoors, I asked a lot of questions, and read a lot of books, BEFORE I got my environment set-up. And I still made mistakes, and had issues, and still asked a lot of questions. But I didnāt try to do it with minimal effort and zero information, thatās for sure.
