I think half the posts I reply to are just basic information that is commonly available pretty much, well, umm, everywhere. :)

Like the guy who just asked how to lower his pH. Duh?

Ok, so newbies:

TRY THIS:

http://www.google.com/

And type in the search box:

site:rollitup.org Plants look Yellow and Droopy
site:rollitup.org How do I lower my pH
site:rollitup.org What seed companies are good for the USA
site:rollitup.org What temperature should my reservoir be at
site:rollitup.org How do I lower my tent temperature

....etc.

www.lmgtfy.com is also a funny one to send people to after you create a link to their search inquiry.

Try that. If it doesnt answer your question, then post away!

So you are saying we should all use GOOGLE to find out the answers when we have a NEWBIE CENTRAL for those in need of the basic advice users can give them ????????????

While I don't quiet understand why someone would take the time to make an account here to ask a question that would be answered by the first return on a google search of their problem, I agree that the Newbie Central is for newbies and their newbie questions.
I'm a newbie too, so its nice to have a place where I can ask about anything (usually if I can't find it after a few minutes of searching the net)

I aint no newbie and have 1000s of stored documents throughout my years of growing but i dont advertise myself as Mr know it all and help out wherever i can as i dont ask questions but only give answers that i can provide.

I feel ya on that Young buck. No one likes a "know it all" any ways. If i have a question im not afraid to ask. and i only try to help. I hat the fucking Trolls who rag on the Noob's and half of em couldnt even grow dirt weed. we are all in the same boat just with differant set ups. we are human and love social interaction. fuck sitting like a bump on a log just looking shit up. Oh and i dont doo Indoors any more. 2 boys in the house.

For those who didnt read, or didnt try to read my entire post. Try the google search. It's a search of rollitup.org only. (That's what the "site:rollitup.org blah blah" is on the search term). Not a google search of the entire world wide web. Its faster to use than RIU's search feature, doesnt require those visual security questions for new accounts, etc....

If you dont like this method, cool, move along, no need to artificially increase your post count by hating a method on the Internet for research. ;)

I'll "site:rollitup.org " now and again. although it's a pain in the ass, and rarely do i find the information that i'm looking for. I say, just ask and surely someone will be nice enough to help out.

Unless the search tool on this forum has improved, it is faster to use Google.

People who say they want to grow and are not willing to learn the basic basics before they start asking questions, dont show much initiative. I doubt if they will ever harvest anything, unless they can get someone else to take care of the plants for them. I will try to help folks all I can, but if someone is too lazy to take the first baby steps by themselves, they are on their own.
