I ran the straw cookies og last run, should be ready for smoking after the cure here soon. This pheno came out rather dark but the sweet berry smell definitely comes through. Ran out of likes during the viewing but awesome buds man!

Guilty pleasure. Will he change his tune or will he be ejected. Guy talks smart but not enough apparently to know thereās a right way and plenty of wrong ways to speak to people. No one wants to take advice from someone who talks down to them. If he really cares about changing minds heād soften the tone but seems like he just wants to be the smartest and loudest person in the room. Fun fun.

My sentiments exactly. Iām perfectly good with anyone pointing out a flaw whether it be factual or even a difference in opinion. But thereās a friendly way to do it, and weāve come up short here in multiple different topics.

I would hope to god someone would try and tell me if I was being rude.

Iād seen some of those other threads and thus took a little additional interest in the linked conversation @dbrn32 . I did not feel it was necessary for me to jump in and comment. Like most people here I keep a journal and understand that is the place to be controversial if thatās your thing. I couldnāt help but notice the complete lack of likes which says it all.

I donāt remember ever interpreting anything you commented around the threads coming off rude.

Agreed. In this situation you came to a post and offered some help. Same info I have passed along to others more than a couple times. The way we place germinated seeds isnāt the only way to do it, but how many helmets have you experienced since using the method you suggested? My number is 0.

I havenāt had great luck with it yet myself but I know better than to assume it will not work anywhere for anyone. I think I bury too shallow when I tried and maybe light and air were the problem. I would get tap roots that look like a double s curve or sidewinder snake or stumpy burnt looking taps that stop growing until I helped them out of the shell and membrane (when I was lucky). I had to revert to what worked before which is considered the wrong way and dealing with plenty of helmet heads. At least itās gotten me pretty good at removing without injuring.

I just drop my seeds in the hole they usually end up sideways then I cover with dirt
I donāt want to handle them too much and cause damage
Knock on wood but I havenāt killed any but do get helmet heads on some they are usually pretty easy to get off with a drop of water right on them to act as a lubricant
It works for me my thoughts are that farmers use a machine to plant their seeds that has no way of putting them all the same direction and they donāt have issues
I would never tell anyone else what or how to do it though
Have a great day everyone and a great weekend

I do bear some responsibility for interacting. But I started out agreeing with the post I commented on. I also was not dogmatic and only stated that this method gives a better āpossibilityā of not getting helmets. Once it escalated I quit posting. I hope the member figures it out. I do like dissenters who can make us re-examine our techniques but truly intelligent helpful people donāt need to berate anyone. Nor do they.

You did nothing wrong Sir @Spiney_norman , and you were quite polite too. Some people just canāt bear different opinion.
You can contradict me like that any day and Iāll be glad for another opportunity to learn something!

A fine example of where an open mind, positive attitude, and willingness to engage in a constructive conversation would have been very beneficial.

While weāre on the subject, I frequently see people cite nature to help make their point but rarely mentioning in nature seeds are released in great numbers and the survival rate is far from 100%.

Nature works perfectly well. I agree its a numbers game in a natural setting. Dandelions are a perfect example of survival.
And when you go buy tomato seeds you get a hundred for a buck or two and you donāt sweat the duds or failed sprouts.
Paying 5 to 10 dollars per seed makes you want to get each one to sprout a healthy viable plant. SO we spend a lot of effort on germination of the seeds.
When I plant cilantro for my personal use I just take a bunch of seeds and scratch them into a patch of dirt and walk away. I dont care how many sprout.

Yup. There is a large assumption that the way things naturally happen is the best. While some of this is often true itās not always the case.

Absolutely. Ideally we indoor gardeners are recreating and maintaining the best simulation of the perfect natural environment, keeping it static for the duration, which is of course not natural at all.
