What you've nailed on the head is the expectations that need to be refined and managed. Just human nature, even with a 4 month fast auto, we are already growing impatient 3 weeks in for it to finish.
That's what I liked about it becoming legal. I'd never got to see all the transitions the plant goes thru at various times of the year, till now.
Still stunned at how much they can grow, every day.
See we are talking about a simple comparison with they eyes. When I sexed my first plant I had a working brain, so I didn't even consider asking someone else. TBH I googled "marijuana" 20 something years before I grew or smoked a plant. It had a pic of a male plant which I saw when I was as 16. I was already interested in weed back then 24 years ago. It just blows my mind that people dont do the slightest bit of research.
Considering we have the biggest brain on the planet it didn't take long for me to use my eyes and powers of deduction 20 years later to figure out that one plants was different than the others. And if I wanted to I could have just typed in "male weed" and then used my eyes to compare, but i didn't even need to do that.
I'm just seriously worried that people have lost the ability to look at a picture and use their eyes to spot a basic pattern. It's more about everyone's insane self doubt these days.
No-one trusts themselves to make an incredibly simple decision, and that is worrying with all the info out there.
I'll do everyone a favour. Type "marijuana" into google before growing a plant and do five minutes worth of reading and these questions are completely moot.
No disrespect to the OP...I understand your concerns.
But this seems to be a generation problem. Beyond Gen X, mommy n daddy did everything for their kids. So they never developed the ability to do for themselves...only thinking was ...they deserve everything given to them/ done for them.
I'm Gen X, my research into cannabis was more about soil/dirt. I read articles and watched videos on all aspects, and filtered out all the bullshit to find the most common things spoken about in all of them, and how to use/adapt them for better grows. ( Just the facts, Ma'am )
Then researching different cultivars that will do good in my geographic location, and any specific needs for them. I spent a few months just on that, alone.
Spent last summer remapping my yard to the sun to better utilize my space, plus average height of the plants that will be occuping it, and where to be placed so they don't shadow each other.
And still learning.... Good thing. If not, it'd be boring.
Today u have world knowledge at your finger tips...utilize it.!!!
I'm about as computer illiterate as they come. Really .!!! But I know how to do shit myself....that's how we grew up... Ferrell, barefooted, covered in dirt n blood, and on our own till the street lights came on.
Damn...I sound like my grandpa
Kid..u don't no what hard is. We had to walk 5 miles to school...up hill, both ways , thru 4' of snow
