Environment here changed

They slowly grow the flowers for months and then they explode out and bloom in 4 or 5 days. They only last 1 or 2 nights before they die off.

Thatā€™s what happened with the first 3 flowers! I was out of town, came back and they had all died off already

I myself arenā€™t saying you are whining or bitching but not everyone whoā€™s here daily has enough time for the reading to get to tl3. I was there once but then life interfered with Og time. Iā€™m lucky to get as much time on as Iā€™ve had the last few days. My 2 threads havenā€™t been updated recently simply because I havenā€™t had time barely enough time to read some of the threads I follow. I do agree on changes happening to OG and thatā€™s also a reason why I havenā€™t updated anything lately . I guess what Iā€™m trying to say is that itā€™s a good thing (without your approval or with) this got started because this talk needs to happen and as I said not everyone who is OG and down for the original concept has time or means to be tl3. I originally came here for information on indoor growing and the wealth of information is what keeps me coming back even if itā€™s just minutes a day. I appreciate the core ppl who stuck around, and I miss some whoā€™ve left and some of the newer guys n gals are alright. I just lurk right now and most people who I follow I donā€™t interact with except for giving likes. Hell my first indoor grow was seeds I won from the vault here after I first started posting, and all my equipment was bought after much research on this very site. I still love OG even though itā€™s had some growing pains.

Iā€™m going to start by saying I didnā€™t read the entire post.
I canā€™t say whatā€™s going on, but I will speak from experiences that I had on several forums.
First, itā€™s always the same spoken words, ā€œwe support each other, and help others of the community.ā€
Second, it always the same mentality, ā€œ we support you as long as you agree with us.ā€
Yikes.
I have seen it so many times when someone goes against the grain. They are instantly attacked. Sometimes politely, other times it down right childish and uncalled for.
Rest assured mediators are watching, but never intervene to deescalate the situation. Unless itā€™s is a buddy of theirs. Wow.
Often I see shouting matches, name calling, derogatory remarks. But rarely do I see anyone say hey, ā€œthat may have been over the line.ā€ Itā€™s like they enjoy the shouting matches.
This is just my opinion and I donā€™t claim to know anything. But i do know, I order to reach the future, we must move from the past.
There are some stand up guys here. But there are also some guys here that are deeply rooted in the past. And can only see things one way. They believe what they believe. And If you donā€™t agree with themā€¦ā€¦ weā€™ll we all see it again and again.
Iā€™m not calling any one out, nor am I trying to offend or disrespect the community.
We are the future of cannabis. And we should be pooling or thoughts, instead of bashing those who are trying to move in a new direction. Fly high brothers.

Why not set some basic rules regarding free seeds .;

The only members that can ask, dib or any other way, for free seeds - have to be here for at least 50 days AND/OR if they promise to grow them out & maybe a grow log on the seeds.?!
Plus if the sender wants to send some seeds to any one earlier than this - maybe do it in a pm/dm .?!
Other than attracting the ā€˜greedier noobsā€™ that fk off after a few members have sent them some seeds, i see Nothing that messes with the site as a whole, letā€™s close this thread and concentrate more on growing etc ā€¦!?!
{ Jmo }.

Happy growing peeps ā€¦

This being a core part of the issue. The money exchanges, and unauthorized post-editing have chased many more experienced members off. This takes the solid info that can be found down a few notches.

What does this mean?

One of the members that left had his posts edited when he was asking questions (apparently the wrong questions).

If the greedier noobs fuck off after receiving a few free seeds, doesnt it make sense to just give it to them so they leave?

Theyā€™ll be here until that happens anywayā€¦

PM me the user info and Iā€™ll see what I can see.

There are not many individuals here that can edit others members posts. Mainly they themselves or TL4+ and, if it does happen, there is usually very good reasons to do so. E.g. private information, provocative or shit posting, stuff against EULA, etc.

Not every newbie here is just here for free seeds , Iā€™m.a shy person but I love what I am seeing and try my best to voice my input and be part of the community its pretty discouraging when people say oh newbies are joining to just get seeds its hard to get to know the ogs and people here when no one talks to you ā€¦or you really donā€™t know anyone donā€™t get me wrong

That isnā€™t the same at all imoā€¦

Those just here for some free seeds donā€™t add to the community at all.

A student can fail with poor instruction regardless of effort, but with the right guidance can pass.

We want people who will engage and become supportive members of the community because they want to and see the value of it.

Some of us will talk to everyone and donā€™t hold preconceived opinions.
