First of all, let me start by saying, I’m new to this. I’ve only been growing a little over a year. I’m an obsessive researcher when I like something. Even though it’s only been a year and change I’ve scaled quickly and learned a lot just by growing in different styles and trying many new things each grow. I feel I’m finally to the point where I’m an intermediate grow, but a total noob breeder. I no longer have to research nutrients or how to consistently grow a large healthy plant. Due to power outages, pest invasions, and just the general learning curve, I’ve had plenty of struggles to learn from too. This last grow I switched from coco to RDWC to keep maintenance down (haha, funny!!!).
I just managed to raise about 50 auto clones to full harvest, still stacking and growing at day 134. I feel like not only am learning a ton, but I’m also being courageous and trying things not many people have tried before.
Maybe this makes me an innovator, but it’s more so that I like to experiment and/or I don’t like being told something won’t work by someone that’s never tried what I’m trying to do before. If you’ve tried it and it’s failed, then I want to hear all about it. The same goes for if you think it won’t work and have some reasons backed by science for why it won’t. For many people, things seem too set in stone when it comes to certain aspects of cannabis. Those clones from 134 day old donors were pollinated two days ago, will I get seeds… I think I have a shot.
Anyway, back to the main point of this topic. I’d be happy to help an inexperienced grower or a few of them with any questions they might have but are too afraid to ask on these forums. OG, while it’s an amazing family like atmosphere in many ways, it’s a little intimidating and I’ve seen some new members and and growers get scolded for simple misunderstandings or just the things that come along with being new to this. Basically, I’m offering to help some a couple new growers, first time pollen chuckers get up speed a hell and close to my level now a hell of a lot quicker than I did. If this sounds like you, send me a message!
Now, most people on here have a lot more experience than I do, and I have a LOT to learn still. So, if there’s anyone here I can send a question or two to every week on more advanced topics, I’d be forever grateful and find some way to repay you in kind.
Lastly, if you like the idea of some sort of buddy program or mentor program for breeding and growing, please post below if you’re wanting to me mentored or to me a mentee, or even just want a grow buddy around your skill level to bounce stuff off of.
I’m also open to if others think this is a good or bad idea.
Lastly, and most importantly, if you want to take part, please be respectful of others time and realize that many of us are crazy busy and spend too much time on here as it is
