I'm not saying anything about anyone's growing abilities. I just got started myself and I'm pretty sure most users on here can grow better than me including yourself but nature is not wild because it can mutate. It appears wild to humans who do not fully understand the complexity of the universe. We can determine the probability of a mutation with a matrix and encourage subsequent mutations by altering variables. If we didn't do that weed would all be hemp and no chronic.
As far as doing things one way... that's a human being deciding that the way he learned is the best way. How many people look at a guideline and "mutate" things to see if it works? A lot of us on here have posted their failures before accepting advice. Granted, a lot of free minds are being anchored to an inefficient method right off the bat because someone is saying to do things their way. They could've innovated growing as we know it had they not watched Ready, Set, Grow as their introduction to the world of growing cannabis but they probably got started right away and had something free to smoke because someone's half assed approach was at least available online without having to talk to anyone or make any accounts.
If they never got better at growing that person is settling for less because they're used to it and people are buying that weed because they're used to buying it but the method is probably better than nothing for someone who has never grown anything let alone something they intend to smoke and inhale safely with friends. I know I don't want to take shots in the dark with my first grow because I don't want to smoke something that makes me retarded due to some small detail in curing that led to mold in my bud.
If any of that is off base you can start hating me now but I'm not writing with any ill intent. Weed belongs to all of us. From the peaceful hippy to the greedy banker we all have a hand in the future of the plant. I'm someone who needs to grow for medical purposes for myself to offset the cost of the dispensary. That means I need a method of growing consistently high quality medicine with as low a cost as possible. Engineering is a field of study centered on efficient design and when combined with Agriculture and Horticulture you get methods for growing the best weed possible with as little money as possible. Thousands if not millions of lives have perished understanding cannabis just to save me the hassle of learning by trial and error so that I could produce a reasonable crop with no prior experience... and you want to shit on all that because weed is becoming a documented, at times to the extent of seeming proprietary in the corporate landscape of today's world, plant?
I apologize for ranting so heavily. To me any info we have on weed helps create a community. If you want to maximize the efficacy of that information in order to help people get better results more power to you, but to complain and look down on people using inferior methods labeling them as "color by number growers" just makes you an addict.
