Not sure what you are referring to when you say āNot the approach to takeā
Helping new members post questions about a grow in the same thread is all I was saying. If its unrelated then by all means start a new topic.
We have people starting 20, 30 or more threads on the same plant. Plus they hijack other threads asking questions there when their own doesnāt get an answer in a minute or two. Its hard to know how to help them.
But its probably just me. Like I said, I dont expect anything to change.

NAH this forum has been great. Everyoneās been super friendly. Nobody seems to talk down to the newbs that just donāt get it. I havenāt looked back to the old site at all really. Just a few people Iām sharing some seeds with. I just have to mail care packages off soon. But honestly Iām hoping to get most of them over to this site. Talking it up over there. Anyway, I want to thank Currdogg again for inviting me over to the site. Itās really worked out well.

People here are GREAT!! No argument there at all!
I was talking about the forum and itās link policy and it extends beyond that even to just words!
Try typing āBankā behind the word āChaseā and it says you canāt! Really? WTF?
Iāve been on many forums, some commercial, some just dudes who share a passion and not until I got to ILGM was I ever restricted in a link or even a series of words I can post.
Itās all kinda rich considering growing marijuana is still illegal in well over HALF of the WORLD!

It is kinda odd sometimes. Its not like we all dont know ā ā ā ā ā ā ā¦oopsā¦I Mean PAYPA*L exists.
Perhaps an attempt to limit providing personal contact or financial info for interaction with other members.

Sorry not at all meant to offend you.
Help is great and appreciated.
I will explain myself. All I meant is the kindergarten approach. If you treat all the new accounts as kindergartners. All you will get is kindergarteners. Anyone serious about growing is just going to go out and play in their garden and say eff off to the site. In my humble opinion itās the wrong approach throttling somebody for weeks on end. And who wants to take on keeping track of all that shit anyway. To be brutally honest. But honestly it doesnāt matter. The site has so much traffic and I donāt think it would affect the site either way.
All Iām talking about is from my point of view, coming from another forum where the moderator started to throttle really bad. Without getting into it. And myself starting a new account on this site. It literally took me three days til I could just say hello to all my old friends that were already out on this site. Or to make any kind of logical response in any thread that picked my curiosity or my particular knowledge in growing. That said I totally get how you got a watch for the bots and make sure somebody isnāt full of shit. Like theyāre trying to push and agenda about selling Teslaās or banning plastic bags. I feel that the forum works and thins out organically like I was saying. The people that arenāt serious about growing move on to other stuff. If they donāt have the patience to learn how to grow. Thatās true of all crops not just cannabis.
Seriously, Iām not trying to offend, I am pretty even mannered temperament. I almost didnāt even respond to this post because I donāt have āstreet credā on this site yet. I just felt I had a particularly current and relevant point of view. Having just started an account on this site myself. Happy growing and much respect and love.
edit: moderator throttling lol. Profanity.

Nah @noddykitty1 , not offended at all.
I do believe we are saying the same thing but perhaps differently.
My initial post and my intent was to kindly encourage new posters who start multiple threads about the same grow to just stick with a single thread for the sake of the accumulation of information. If they perhaps filled in a support ticket but the next day asked why their plant has a speckled leaf on a new thread well here we are starting over. I did say not to insist on it.
Anyway, in the long run it is what it is. And I would like it to stay a nice place like it is. I have seen the other forums and it gets nasty on those places quickly. Too many egos.
Im gonna go plant some tomatoesā¦Time to get this years crop started.

Nice, planting the tomatoes myself on the 1st.
Just took cuttings as we speak. All my cover crops 
and pollinator crops. These all root like blackberriesā¦
Bees love the catnip. Much overlooked pollinator plantā¦
Rosemary, lavender, and heather (pollinator, and stays evergreen)

See that on every post answer as well 
Very common on other forums as well.
āFlushing is for toiletsā is the frequent comment on other forums, and it is typically part of an overall insulting reply. I get that flushing before harvest is controversial, but it is absolutely necessary for those with a salt buildup.
I tend to focus on the newer threads and members too. I feel itās where I can most help for new growers.

My nip does well, right up till it accidentally gets broken or a leaf gets crumpled and the one cat I allow outdoors finds it!
He doesnāt realize the importance of bees! LOL!
You mean CalMag ISNāT the cure-all for every leaf spot? Hmmmmā¦ 
But, itās also the same as āsaltsā in soil. Itās a complete misnomer for the actual problem of lock out.
Fertilizer isnāt āsaltā in the table salt sense of the word.
The nutrients a plant gets from chemical fertilizers is absolutely no different than the nutrition it gets from an organic source.
But that old myth will never die.

I figured out a style that works with few problems and I stuck to it.
Ill leave the rocket science to the rest.

āIts not rocket scienceā¦Unless you want it to be.ā
Cannabis is the same way. I just dont want to turn it into a full time job just to get another gram out of the tent.
I went through that process reloading and shooting trying for smaller and smaller groupings. Weighing each bullet and each case to limit every tiny little difference in a cartridgeā¦
I just want to grow it and use it.

Iāve done the same. I have a couple of long-range, precision rifles that Iāve tweaked, doing ladder tests and whatnot, the load for to accomplish the same. Itās a fun hobby.

ok my turn to get something off my chest. I have just recently joined this forum and what I noticed immediately is that the topic may have started to discuss it but it has been going on for years and no longer has anything to do with the original topic or a couple of responders hijack the conversation and start talking about something not related to the topic. I HATE this. If we had a way to private message someone then I think these years long conversations ,that we all must endure as a new comment, would end. And yes there are a bunch of idiots who want to grow huge colas in there closet and panic at every little non conformity and want you to diagnose their problem for themā¦and the best advice we can give them is help them grow by crawling, walking then run past me and by this I mean donāt try to make them a season grower and give them that kind of advice in your first response, just help them get that plant to live and produceā¦
