My experiences from myself and watching others, around the third grow you start to develop a real understanding of what you are trying to do. You still have barely begun to learn but you are atleast standing on two feet with a solid clue.

Id say you can consider your self not a newb, when you can consistently produce "successful yields".. Though, as navy fighter said, we are always learning more of the art, so we will always remain students.

Everyone is a noob. There are varying degrees of noob. For example you can be in the bmeat class. Which is you think you are God's gift to cultivation but you have trouble tying your shoes. I've been doing this for probably 5 or 6 years now. I still consider myself a noob. Others may look at me as a guru. Maybe I'm a guru-noob.

188 days 6 hours 47 mins 12 secs. You gotta do a count down from ten at the right time, or you remain a newbie.

:)

But seriously, i would say after a few grows. when you no longer make newbie mistakes like over watering, over nute, light burn.
and when you start to learn to read your plants, let them tell you what they want, nute wise and when to water etc.

I am a newbie myself, but when i can do this, if i ever can, they i would say i was out of the newbie stage, just my opinion though.

I did my first outdoor grow in 1978 or 1979, and have grown outdoors every year since. This is my first full indoor grow, so I'm a real newb with the lighting and growrooms and such. I grew up on a farm and have gardened my whole life and spent a career in a botany based type of job. But still I learn something new every day on here.

I gotta disagree. Noob/newb implies that you are new and inexperienced at something. I understand the whole "we're always learning" jazz, but if you are neither new or inexperienced then you are not a noob/newb. I'm not a newb, I'm mr.Ganga :)

The RIU rep system is a joke. If Toke & Talk & politics section weren't able to give out rep then yea it would mean something.
