For the love of learning

[Starlight_Peony]

There is no greater feeling to me than to learn something new, and that brings me to always trying to understand my mistakes or accomplishments in the finer details, as often it's the little things you over looked in the moment that made the biggest impact. In science class our teacher made it a point to get us to understand this was the reasoning behind doing the same experiment repeatedly, because along the way there's a greater chance you will slip up and do something so small differently that leads to the unraveling of the answer you may be seeking. Which is why the importance of keeping such detailed notes, as later you can look back reviewing your notes and often times catch what you changed that lead to the breakthrough. Hence the expression "the devil is in the details"; so I often include the smallest notations, changes, anything that seems like it may be nothing, but later could be something. Which for me has helped me even years later as I have gone back to reread my grow notes and found answers to the things I previously overlooked.

For this reasoning, I have gotten backlash about my posts being too long, dry, dull, boring, unfit for a forum, which brought me to closing my previous account..

Read Me First

Hey guys, im surprised something like this hasn't been posted before but better late than never. I know i don't make policy around here, but i would think everyone will agree with me on this. It's very hard to diagnose a plant when you don't have all the information at your finger tips. If...

The beautiful thing about the Internet is that it's all optional. Some people will read your posts. Some will respond. Some won't. That's OK.

Welcome to The Farm.

For your information, I could give a rip less about "likes"

So let me clear this up for you, if someone is doing something "wrong" and violating norms and forum etiquette by posting posts which as I am quoting here "are too long, too much detail for a forum post, with useless information and data to the point it's boring people to death and is a waste of space and time for others to read" and more than one person comments accordingly. Am I wrong to admit my shortcomings which have been brought to my attention, or a bigger person for trying to learn from this and perhaps own up to it as I attempt to navigate the world of forum postings? But yes.. own it or not.. either way.. some keyboard warrior gets to take the opposite stand and make some claim which fits their narrative and point of view so they will be "right".

Obviously I didn't know what I did wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have done it in the first place, and how am I suppose to learn from my mistake(s) if I don't own them and be honest about them to the point others who see it can better give me positive criticizing advice as I attempt to fix it, so I am not blindly doing something wrong without making any attempts to fix or repair my short comings. Isn't it smarter to walk away, give it some time and attempt to return and try again at a later time verses just giving up?

I've seen much much longer posts which i begin to read then just skim and scroll down to the pics. Post away Starlight Peony which is one of my favorite perinnial plants.

It is the writer's task to engage the reader. Many people avoid posts that require excessive effort to understand. Lengthy, wall-of-text posts are in that category. Lack of punctuation, poor grammar or phonetic word choices are worse. The writer should endeavor not to make the reader do the work that is the writer's responsibility to do. It is futile to write a narrative that discourages the reader from reading it.

Brevity is the mother of great writing.

Don't sweat it many of us occasionally make posts so long Leo Tolstoy would want to gouge his eyes out... If you like laying it all out, maybe consider starting your own grow diary thread. I come here for the camaraderie mostly, and also commiserating with others the nuances we encounter with our grows, and of course sharing those pearls of wisdom we accidentally stumbled across. And if I can help someone through something I've struggled with and figured out, I'm gonna share because the more dank dope everybody is growing, the better... and this is how we drive weed prices down. (And seed prices up).
