You have grabbed the tiger by the tail with this one....
Massive subject that inflames many passions..and we have had Many in depth discussions as a Site team about it..
First off...Noobs should do their own research...
...well...I'll tell you from experience..sometimes they can't.
When I first came to cannabis as a med user..the brain fog from pain/insomnia and prescription drugs was such I literally had no retentive memory.
I was the Worlds worst noob..if the wind blew a pistil out of place I was on the boards panicking...
..I just needed reassurance...I'd killed me first grow...
Once I got me bud grown and weened off the prescription gear a lot of the brain fog lifted..and I got on in me own way...but I needed that assisted first grow to get there.
I Like to Think I paid that kindness back 1,000 fold over the years by helping others....
..but some may disagree...
So...I'm saying..don't class everyone as lazy if they are asking the basics..
...we have and encourage a med user community.
Brain Fog is an accepted symptom.
We Do Need a simple set of how to's that we can Link to on site for the most common problems...we have know this for years and it boils down to not enough time/staff to action...
@912GreenSkell is kindly giving up his time and expertise to rectify this..with a senior staff team proof reading for him to ensure everything is Simple to understand...
For this he deserves rep slaps from all of us.
...it is a Massive job.
