Have Fun

I'm still an apprentice even though I have been at it for 40 years already! I can't do diaries because it is still illegal to grow herbs where I live, so I miss out on likes to increase my internet status.........but who cares?? Never accepted any prizes either, I do this for fun, not internet points or free stuff!

I want to say yes... but you don't have enough Internet Points to convince me sorry😿 yeah a bunch of like farmers make that system a bit useless ( Stuff like 2 Mediocre Dairies and 12k Likes in the comments. We all see what you are doing...) 😂

The newb-guru thing is based on "likes" which have nothing to do with growing. No worries. That leaderboard is littered with people that need recognition / instant gratification, lol. Some are genuine totals and some are inflated by a bot/script that can like thousands of comments and diary weeks in a few moments of time. The whimsical growth rate pulls the curtain back on that corruption. You'll also notice that winners of monthly competitions are not always choosen based on quality of the results, bwahaha, most are fine, but there are typically some head-scratchers. The rules are not always equally applied, too. As long as 'growing your way' (generalized concept, not specifically 'your' way) has consistently good results, I agree with these sentiments. When a growing method is an extension of someone's personality as opposed to based upon results, I disagree. There are far too many burnt to shit canopies and fugly plants of people that refuse to take responsibility for the results or just in denial about them, therefore no evolution or improvement occurs for those people. Sometimes you absolutely have to adjust a false perception.. it can't always be about feelings or wants.
