Posting Etiquette/Best Practices
    #28788517 - 05/26/24 09:07 AM (1 month, 2 days ago)

Hello!

I'm being coached through my first flawed grow by you fine folks, and I don't want to ruffle any feathers or step on any toes.
My most recent thread update post has progress pics.  To keep things relatively clean, I thought it may make sense going forward just to edit this last post and update it with each day's new photos.

Is this bad etiquette/bad practice? 

Would it be better to make a new post on the same thread each day, with the prior pics and updates?

Could someone take a peek at my thread "First Timer Discouraged" and let me know if it is worthwhile to start a new, more optimistic thread, in which the first post summarizes (with images) my progress from complete mess to slightly less of a mess, and then keep updating that first post daily with new progress photos and (with any luck) my yields?

New posts for updates. Same thread. It's like a timeline and it gives a physical display of the unfolding of events. Also new posts in the thread "bump" the thread and people will see it in their threads page and it will get lit up and moved to the top in the cult section so you are more likely to have more people see and join in on the conversation.

If you don't bump your thread people won't see it nearly as often. New updates are the perfect bumps. People who like teaching like people who update with progress. It makes teaching easier.

Make sense?

Got it.

I had thought to make a new thread for each relevant milestone or question or new tek attempt, but now I see why teachers prefer just the one thread to monitor and check in on.  Could I append all the content from the “discouraged” thread to the “first timer encouraged” thread and continue from there?

The “encouraged” thread is more optimistic, and makes a nice opening to the story, what with the single tiny fruit emerging from a pile of abandoned, trich contaminated, half dried out and broken mycelium.  Poetic.  But like vogon poetry.

You could just edit the title and keep the same thread. Or you could start a new thread. What you are talking about is called a "grow log" or journal and is a great practice where you will get much help if you are a beginner.

Starting new threads for every comment is a no go. That's obnoxious and clogs up the threads list, as well as making your progress very hard to follow. You want streamlined topics if you want responses. New threads are for new topics.

There are also many active and evolving threads where you may find the advice you are looking for or more active conversation such as; ask quick questions, pic of the day, cultivation general discussion, the official exotics is good for exotics, the woodlovers thread is good for woodlovers, agar envy for agar help/banter. Often posting in active threads like that will get you more info and more conversation. Keeping progress to a log or journal so to speak is also good though and keeps all your info in one place, but that is all personal preference in how you want to organize your experience.

So for all of your questions, and I mean every single one, you are gonna want to message the mod smelly_hobbit. The dude is a walking shroomery encyclopedia and he LOVES methodically answering every single question of noobs. I think he has OCD or something but we love him.

Welcome to shroomery! :shroomeryhead:


Edit: Also look into shoebox tek, it's my favorite because it's quick and easy :awehigh:

Pf tek > shoebox tek is the easiest and cheapest method of cultivating in my opinion :thumbup:

:whathesaid:

Yes indeed pf tek is great, easy, reliable, and you can do it with simplistic gear and what you can buy at any grocery store.

I am in no way discouraging working with agar.
