Yeh man thats very true. I am guilty of it as I don't take as much interest in indoor hydro grows as I do coco because It's nice to compare yours to someone elses because it's not like I could compete with a hydro grow in terms of yield and you can't really get a sense of taste/ potency through pictures. Ive also found from following and reading a lot of journals that the majority don't like to stick around unless there's some flowering going on and as soon as people cut up and post the weight most people just go onto the next one, sort of like a child wanting something new and shiny haha.
Yours and Fdd were the two only outdoor grows I followed last year, but for me seeing the build of the greenhouse was just as good as the grow, think it's because you update often but it's always quality not just spamming with out of focus or huge volumes of pictures.
Definitely better to play it safe than sorry, unfortunately greed gets the better of some people though. So you're running TD, bubba and the train this summer? It'll be interesting to see which different phenos you get through as well. Should be a good summer man.
