1 thing I have found out. Growers those that have 5 years or more are very pragmatic. Growing transcend into life and life transcends into growing. It is as if for me once I got a handle on growing, I use that thought process in life.
I am alot more open minded and not so quick to judge. I plan things in greater and long term thought process. I try to understand from others perspective(s). We all know can have 2 of everything including 2 people. Do everything the exact same way, yet have 2 differant results. This has and still confuses me more than anything.
The fool or the idiot will argue it out. Me I don't give a F! or 2 shits about the emotion. I just try to see it from there end to understand the differance, ego and attitude are worthless yet many use it as a crutch.
Once you can open your mind and beable to do this it makes people very uncomfortable because the safty blanket is gone. Its the same thing as listening to your plants. It takes years of subtle small clues to read them. Once you unlock that then you find yourself applying it in life situations not knowing. The ones that scream are hiding and they have nowhere to hide. This is why I am a asshole because I rip the safty away first thing then watch the reaction, then judge. Its much like new strain nute it till leaf tips burn, give it cal mag and then dial in. The plant will produce but its going be pissy if you allow it.
