But we dont sell a service here. We provide a platform for growers to share. I completely understand your point of view but the last thing i think any of us want to see is a censored platform that only allows certain views to be shared. If people want accountability for information i would direct them to a paid consulting service.

But believe me i get just as frustrated when i see information passed along that can negatively impact someone grow that has cost them significantly or not monetarily
Ok I can understand that, but what about the actual awards and the like counts? Why does someone with about 2 grows have the same number of theories as someone with 100 grows? And what happened to the likes? can that be put back up under their avatar? Or should one just start writing all kinds of 5 word responses to get their comment count up?

Trophies


That's how the trophies are calculated.

I suppose there is some correlation to rightness, but not a lot.

Like @Moe.Red said much of that is misleading likes dont translate to experience and i think its part of why they were removed. Social media these days bases a lot on systems like that.

A first time poster can easily have a much better understanding and much more knowledge than any of us.

I think the merit of a post is in the post itself. Ill be the first to admit that as much as i like to consider myself knowledgeable i often get corrected by someone with more knowledge in the area of discussion. You very much know that as you have corrected me many times yourself as have many here. Thats a large part of what i consider to have given me the knowledge i have to share.

i really do believe that we need to take each post on its merits. Just because someone is usually right does mean they are always right. Likewise just because someone is usually wrong doesn’t mean they are always wrong.

And the more discussion and debate we have the more we all benefit and learn. Its not perfect but seems to work for this community

I often recuse myself from answering saying something like I need to stay in my lane when I get into an area I'm not confident in. But there is a lot of crossover - plants are plants regardless how you grow them.
I try to throw a little caveat in there if I comment on something that's not my forte... like "Looks like it could be XYZ, but I don't do coco so take that with a grain of salt." I usually just scroll by cause I have no experience with certain things other than what I've sponged up here, I don't want to give advice based on second hand information... but sometimes I do cause someone has no or few responses and I feel bad lol... there is a lot of crossover of course and some things are just the basics.

Trixes easy-peasy cheap way to grow super weed.
Keeping it simple without a bunch of science or bull-shit, this has to be the easiest way to grow weed.
Potting Mixes Used
Foxfarms OceanForest potting mix.
ProMix Hp potting mix.
Fertilizers
General Hydroponics Flora series: Base nutrients only, (no additives)!
Cal-mag
Water
Rainwater for seed spouting and seedling stage
RO water for veg and flowering
Lights
(Combo setup) lights are (one 400w HPS,) (two 130 watt Chinese 1000LEDs) and one 4ft fluorescentT8 sidelight for blue bans—around 750 watts total.

Strains
3 Strains are Columbian Sativa/Haze cross and two unknown sativa-indica crosses from Spain?

Total grow area is a 6x6x8​
Rain for seedlings and RO for veg and flower- whats the reasoning there?

im just gona say this, yall hijacked her grow diary …. lets talk about growin man. so much animosity …. just the vibes bro
Kinda think thats @Trixie decision to make but i will happily remove all the posts that they would like removed as we do for any diary.

Kinda felt this was going in a better direction with a rough start into the community. Usually many diaries get into all sorts of discussions but if its an issue as i said it can be cleaned up.

Yeah we do it all the time.

A significant portion of this convo was constructive tho. Even if it gets zapped, it probably needed to happen.

im not mas at you i kno you got to moderate, but in my opinion ( im nobody here ya kno lol 🤣) maybe behind the scenes moderation? i dont kno, im just saying im stoked about her info simply because its just a record but her views and opinions wether debated or not should still be allowed. like you said MrAqua points of view are going to be debated regardless but if it works for her ? if shes happy , cuz i definitely are. ( Can you use are that way?) but yea i like the farm but lately all this animosity. Im just saying we here to grow and learn. and smoke a doobie or two lol. @Trixie im still observing and taking notes …

Challenge Accepted!



Personally I don't see a solution here.

The amount of time you have been here =/= How correct you are on X post
Amount of likes same thing.
Amount of posts even less correlation.

Is there something better than "buyer beware" and "you get what you paid for"?

We each kinda have at least one specialty like dirt or hydro or outdoor or whatever. If I were to give advice on a dirt grow, we are back to "buyer beware." My advice should be suspect.

I often recuse myself from answering saying something like I need to stay in my lane when I get into an area I'm not confident in. But there is a lot of crossover - plants are plants regardless how you grow them.

Strictly speaking, a "high value" rating on me, whatever that means, if on a thread of outdoor growing would be misleading. On the other hand, I don't think TSD has ever grown hydro, but deserves a high rating of course for outdoor.

Your rating would have to change based on the thread you are in!

And then who determines what ratings are given to what grower?

I don't see an alternative except to spend some time here and make relationships so you know who you are talking to.

Otherwise, buyer beware. 🤷‍♂️
the challenge accepted i think was directed at me and the buyer beware also, but i never mentioned anything about my ratings or awards or anything like that.
was that also directed at me?
i've had a few beers so maybe i read it wrong
