Everyone has their own style of growing, and not 1 style is better than the other, just different. So when a newbie shows up and ask for help, they get pulled in 20 different directions, not wrong directions, just different. So the newbie ultimately ends up trying 20 different approaches, not realizing each approach is specific to a certain condition, and that condition might not apply to their situation. A mentor would have to be the “ only “ person involved, and guide them from start to finish. The “ mentored “ would have to take notes, extensive notes and apply those notes to the next grow. I still heavily rely on my notes every time I grow. Having to remember when you watered, what you watered with, how much you watered, when you dropped the light distance, when you reduced the feed strength, etc etc etc. So the mentor thing could be successful, it would just have to be on a one on one basis. I learned tons of stuff here, I just took ingredient from everyone’s style and made my own pot of gumbo. That’s the point of a mentor program, not to have someone do exactly what you do, but to teach them how to do it their own way and perfect it.
