I was under the assumption that this site was for people to come to for help with mush cultivation.Seeing as I am a beginer I have the option of going to a head shop and buying an outdated book written by some hippie in the sixties,or I could get all them info that I could from just doing random searches on the internet and I have been,or I could post and ask questions from people doing what I am doing and have already gone through all of the trial and error.Everytime I post here at all I get a flood of what I assume to bemen in there late twenties who live in moms basement probably collecting stargate sg-1 action figures talking down to me (and I bet they wouldn't to my face.)Out of the three posts I have recieved three helpful posts and the rest have trekies looking for someone to bash I'm guessing because they got picked on so badly in highschool who talk really tough on the internet,it's making this forum useless.Unlees the point of this forum is to just talk to other people who already know everything about mush cultivation then have fun exchanging recipes and discouraging people who are interested in the same things you are.

Negative attitudes typically never receive responses.. There is a world of valuable information on this forum.. Granted the majority of post's nowadays all seem like they have been regurgitated from previous years.. This basically just means that there alot of new growers on this forum who would rather ask questions than search for them... Hence, the reason why I rarely log on anymore... But, getting rid of annoying web pages is as easy as clicking the "X" button................

you just need to figure out who the helpful people are. There's smart-asses everywhere. It's a right of passage, take a tongue lashing, learn to grow mush most of the people here learned to do it here, but we can't spoon feed ya. You can lead a noob to mush. cult. but you can't MAKE him learn

I don't really see your point. As wasting_space said, there is tons of valuable information on this page and without it, I wouldn't have come this far in mushroom cultivation. However, I also think that a forum can never replace a good book. It can provide a lot of good additional information though and relate the knowledge you gained by reading to practice. If you do not show that you are willing to spend some time on reading rather than annoying other people with questions that have been asked zillions of times and have been answered at least a thousand times in FAQs, you should not be surprised that you ain't getting much of positive feedback. Apart from that, you will always have lots of idiots stating their uneducated opinion in any public forum. However, if you educate yourself a little, it will be easy to tell idiots from experts (and anything in between)

I'm 60 years old and no-I don't live with my mom. There have been a few posts from new growers recently and they appear to be teenagers who rather than follow the established teks, they go off the script and then come here and ask - WTF went wrong. The answer is usually - follow the TEK and all will be well. You're not so smart that you can substitute A for B and have it be successful. Follow the tek!
The posts here are primarily from noobs and I include myself in that category. I have been reading here for over a year. I'm still making mistakes.
Oh yes - one more thing - get some thick skin on and relax, enjoy and learn.

I just read through your threads. Over half the posts are informative. If you can't take the small amount of criticism you got in your posts then I feel sorry for you. Nothing was said that really berates you at all.
Couple things for you though:
1) Tons of things related to growing are personal preference. You will get people that swear by one thing and others that go by another. Doesn't mean they are wrong.
2) Search for answers to your specific questions before you ask them. It gets very annoying to experienced members to answer the exact same questions every single day. You will find tons of posts with tons of answers, read them. You may find differeing opinions when there isn't a clear cut right or wrong answer. Refer to #1 above.
3) If you don't have a PC don't use grain. You have to sterilize grains at PC temps to get rid of contams thats why your millet jars got contammed. Without a PC you have to stick to the PF Tek with BRF/Verm.
Like I said though, you ask fairly basic questions and got fairly basic answers. No one really berated you so you don't have to throw a fit over it.

There is alot of noob flaming around here, I think it is mostly due to
the way they ask the question. Instead of asking, how do I do this? Maybe
they should be asking, well I read the TEK but I don't understand this
part, or whatever. When you use the search engine, you can set it to main
threads only, that usually help sort through alot of the useless posts.
But, the route you are taking, by stating we all live in our Mothers
basement, that just shows of the mentality you posses. Instead of looking
for the positive in things, it sounds like you'd rather choose the
negative. Give it some time, if you don't like something someone says,
ignore it, move on.

Well, technically not following teks to the letter isn't always a horrible thing. There is some wiggle room and room for customization in there. Granted they are probably the best known methods of growing thus far, but how do you think these teks were created? It was by following strict instructions from someone else, that's for sure. By not following the teks there is risk involved, sure. But some people like to deviate to learn more or experiment with different methods.
I am a beginner, sure, but if you have any questions you can PM me and I will try to help you as best I can. I haven't been growing long, but I have done lots and lots of research.
I say stick it out here. If you get a rude response, simply ignore it. Don't feed the flames. Some people here ARE willing to be helpful no matter how stupid and basic the questions may be to others. It is hard to find answers to specific questions on here sometimes because there is a TON of old topics and posts. Also sometimes you think you found an answer only to find that the topic is so old that the info has been debunked!

This thread has been closed.
Reason: This is a pub or otd topic, not a cultivation topic. Those who don't invite flaming, don't receive flaming, or else someone gets banned.
Just for your information, my finger was itching on the official warning button before finally settling on the lock button. The ban button is right next to those two. Please don't put my finger through all that stress by posting off topic again. RR
