Ive taken the time and tested my patience by reading through the entire thread, (its quite an achievement for me to not comment until i have read all the way through), and i have to admit that i am by far the biggest asshole on the planet on most mornings and would test the spirituality of even the calmest and most restrained stoners in this realm, im an ego maniac with an inferiority complex and i hate when someone appears to be more intelligent or more experienced than me because my ego is the only thing that matters here and hey, if i can't get my ego stroked why be here at all right? that being said I have to run on and say that because one person calls growing eight plants in a controlled environment a "grow" that doesn't mean a "grow" is eight plants in a controlled environment. When someone tells me they have been growing for thirty years, i always ask, but have you grown? the answers may astound you , or not, but anyway there is always room for the experienced grow guru whos self assessment is as far off as his or hers growing skills and the self labeled "newcomer" who has grown in quantities that would scare most individuals on six different continents in areas controlled by clashing rebel forces and cartels who want everyone dead, and has never written down on piece of information about a single grow ever in their entire life.
What that leaves me with is a desire to become somewhat acquainted with any individuals that i may consider capable of offering advice as to the health and welfare of my latest "grow" whatever that may or may not be. And as far as pictures providing some sort of evidence as to the growing skills of any given person I would have to say that for some of us the "weirdness" involved with actually providing some sort of evidence as to the size and nature of our "grows" is a hard thing to overcome, and i never feel quite comfortable posting pictures of my properties/grows, but i do anyway. never judge a book by its cover and never underestimate the capabilities of anyone for we know nothing of the paths they have walked on or the storms they have weathered. but in the same paragraph i have to say there is so much bullshit online that some days i just don't feel like wading through it. With all that being said,,I will continue to monitor "trixies" "grow" and keep fro forming any opinions until i have sat and smoked with her, until then i will say that coming from someone who was pretty convinced they knew it all, i have learned more on this site from watching and listening, then just about any other form of learning other than growing itself. So, i wish all a good day,, and im off to maintain my "rose" garden
