Alright im adding both to my list before i start, thanks

I think we have enough ´grow guides´ anyway.

We need to educate the noobs to reading the massive amount of information that we have already, rather than flattering our own egos by rehashing what is already available in the existing, excellent stickies and on the search button.
i understand, i did this b/c of all the repeat ?'s i get, which this guide mostly covers, & alot of noobs dont read the stickies. & i rarley get ?'s about outdoor growing thats why i left it out, & like u said we dont need more guides. i was just trying to make my job a little easier, while helping put alot of begginers ?'s in 1 area. i mean have u seen my thread, its huge & w/ ALOT of repeat ?'s, not that i mind, & im sure u also notice alot of ppl dont read the stickies or use the search. i was just trying to simplfy things some, not get bashed for making another "grow guide"

thanks
yes they are if u want a nice grow w/ healthy plants. yes u can keep plant & room temp, if between 70-80, but optimal growth is @ 75-78f. idk about your tap water, but yes tap is fine for growing, its not perfect or the best, but it works. all living organisms need food/ferts/nutes

Yes, I have seen your ´I am the ultimate expert here and will answer all your questions´ thread. Even though your spelling and punctuation are appalling.
99 out of 100 of the questions you get asked can be completely answered by one line - READ THE F***ING stickies!
You like to present yourself as the one and only expert here - but you never post any pics of your grows - so let´s see them - if you have any !!! Your ´Gallery´ is full of pics and drawings you have swiped from other threads.
There are masses of people here who like to give ´advice´ who have never actually done a grow of any kind - I have a feeling you are one of them. POT GOD !!!!! LOL!!

i dont know what your prob is, & yes my typing is bad, but this isnt a spelling or typeing class/thread. most my errors are type-o's b/c of my disability. & if 99 out of 100 ?'s are answered by reading stickies, how come my thread is so big, b/c i give out bad advice????. if u use the search button you are so fond of youll see some of my grows, & atm, im setting up my new grow from soil to hydro, so i dont have a grow atm, well i do, i have a bubblicious mom in a 5gal in ffof, & 6 bubblicious clones in my diy bubble cloner, which 4 have roots after 5 days, other 2 soon to follow. those pics in my gallery are all over the net, eg: google images, & some are mine. u got alot of room to talk for someone that has been banned in the past "spanish fly", which seems like this is what u like to do, pop in & out of threads trying to cause drama or show someone up. i can 100% guarantee if u asked any of my thread readers/subscribers if i have giving them bad advice, they'd say no, in fact i get thanked alot for helping ppl grow great plants. you dont bother me old man, b/c i get ppl like u hating all the time, which just shows how imature u are, you wont find post like that from me, except when i get ppl like u starting stuff for no reason

Because most of the noobs are too bone idle to actually read the stickies. You flatter your ego by offering to spoon feed them what they are too lazy to read for themselves.

exactly my point of this guide. im not trying to boast my ego, im just trying to make things easier for the ppl who dont read the stickies, & alot of noobs dont even know what they are, so i really dont see a problem, its their personal choice to choose weather or not they read the stickies, & i do tell ppl that they need to read the stickies.

You don't have to explain or defend yourself. You've probably done more than most anyone else on this site to help people learn to grow on an ongoing basis.

Whatever their reason is,JCJ offers answers without attitude which as his 1st post in his thread points out IS what the thread is all about.

The quality of that thread goes deep,much deeper than simple questions and answers,it's been many of growers 1st stop and we see many return to say thanx for advice which was responsible to help them get to a stable growing place FASTER than any other way.

Cantharis: Try posting positive vibes and promoting our movement in more positive ways,your jabs are getting very old and i know your capable of much more positive posts.

Re: Beginners Guide To Get You Started in Growing Cannabis

Grass city needs more people like jcj, a lot of information isn't covered in stickies, or isn't explained well. This is all about the sharing of information so I don't see why anyone needs to get their panties in a bunch...
