i just think that there should maybe be a small section, probably just a thread somewhere (dunno where though!!??), that is for newbies to pop in and ask anything they want....
maybe named something obvious like THE NEWBIE GROWER INFO THREAD!
imo usually new growers have a multitude of simple questions buzzing around their heads that they might feel silly asking in other places....or starting a thread just to ask that question...the easy questions could be answered usually in one sentence, and the more complex questions could, from there, be referred to the actual area it belongs...
ic mag is obviously the most comprehensive source for information on all things cannabis related, but i do see many new people asking questions in random threads that dont get answered.....and it made me remember being back on OG when i was learning, i had simple questions that could have been, easily, put right by many people, but instead i felt a bit embarressed to ask them...so just searched them out in the growfaq or just waited till someone else asked the same question.
its only an idea, and i suppose it could have negative effects if some people got lazy and just asked everything there..
but on the other hand it could help some people get more of an idea what the consensus is on certain subjects, without jumping into the deep end in one of the forums.......And other newbies may go there to see what questions other new growers have asked, because they quite often have the same ideas that they want correcting or confirming..
i for one, enjoy righting misconceptions and educating people where i can, and im sure there are dozens, if not hundreds, of others like me that wouldnt mind frequenting such an area or thread to help newbies...
i was just trying to think of anything ic mag could possibly improve on, and seeing so many misplaced simple questions around gave me the idea.
im curious what the thoughts are on this ??
or if there even are any thoughts on the subject...maybe others feel it is unwarranted ??
