My thanks to everyone at AFN, even the lurkers! Without you all, there'd be no AFN. Special thank to SkatterBrayne, Dirty Budster, wwwillie, komach, Gilly, Txold Dude, and my good friends, eyes on fire and Yoda Buds who supported me through my first grow. Special thanks go to wwwillie and komach for being my main mentors!
"AFN smoke out"'The vibe is alive and well' too right brother and very well said let it be shouted from the rooftops! 
AFN rocks i have never had a single argument here. All this petty squabbling we keep an eye on on a daily basis does get very boring.... Maybe some need to get out a bit more... Anywhoo's i like your words brother:Sharing One:

Thanks, all, for the 
!!!
It got me laughing this morning.
I was remembering the first time I made root rub (thanks to Root and Eek!) and had it in a mixing bowl. Hit the power on my new mixer and
I spent a week cleaning coconut and beeswax off the walls!:roflcry:
It wasn't until after the fact I got some sage advice, along the lines of "Ya dumb redneck! Blend it in a mason jar!
Good times!

Jeez Red, I saw that thread title come up when I hit New Posts and I got heart palpitations, thinking here we go again. :no: Then I read your post. :clap:
AFN isn't perfect, never was and never will be. We've been through a lot, first TBM, then Chad, then the defection of some key members. But we're still here and that's due to the great members we have and our fantastic mod team. I've been doing forums for almost 7 years now. First as a member, then a mod, then an admin. I've been on about 8-10 different forums and none of them compare to AFN. Where else is a new grower going to be welcomed and encouraged like they are here? Nowhere. Most forums look down on new growers and they are often abused, in some cases by the admins and mods. AFN is about the vibe and while it's suffered these past few months, it's alive and well.
Anytime you bring together so many people, from so many different places, with such differing view points, there is always going to be disagreement. It's the old saying, opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one. It's sometimes difficult to hold your tongue when you strongly disagree with what has been said. My mother taught me two valuable lessons that are worth sharing. The first was "consider the source and don't lower yourself to their level". If someone is being a dick and you respond in kind, you are lowering yourself to their level and are no better than they are. Always take the high road and you'll be a better person for it. The other is "if you can't say something good, don't say anything at all". That one in particular has served me well. Often my gut wants to strike out and respond in kind. I've learned to hold my tongue and by not saying something negative have avoided many confrontations over the years. When someone gave me trouble, she also used to tell me to "kill them with kindness". To me, that fits right in with the AFN vibe.

Sorry for the heart attack, Muddy! :hug:
And very good advise, not just for here but for life in general.
I tell folks your "Life Cycle" and "When to Harvest" are must read items... you just wrote another one!

Dazed and confused
Awww Pop! Gawrsh! Same goes here folks! Most forums I've been in resemble battlefields. Every thread has some form of "flame damage" somewhere and full of bad Juju with people that are like mines. Ready to pop at a moments notice. This place is great! Peaceful and relaxing, like the gardens that we grow.
Awright gettin' too mushy now...
From a cranky old bastard (not THAT old, Yoda! LOL!!).

Hey, TxOld Dude, good insight Brother.:Sharing One:
I'm glad I never tried acid, 'cause if I had a flashback while looking at your avatar, it'd be the rubber room for me! That thing is funny and scary at the same time. :wormy:
