Gotta appreciate the irony in people being opinionated ignorants
I still hear stuff like: LED lights are worthless for growing, Autoflowers are useless, only trust this breeder all the others are scam artists - always coming from people who never tried the stuff they trash.
People always do have opinions and each to their own. What works for 1 doesnt work for another. Have seen grows with LED's - they look magic. Autoflowers - i know someone that can pull 400+g from an autoflower growing in nft. Bud washing for me - am for it. Still on the fence with my last grow but it cant harm the final product.
We all have our own methods and have something to smoke once done, that the main reason. We all get advice on here when we encounter problems. If it aint broke then it dont need fixed.
