The only expert is you! You look to a place like this to help solve problems. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. Unfortunately in internet land - what you see is what you get. Many pretenders claiming to be something they are not. Pics that coincide with their journals is what you need to look for. All other comments you need to take at face value.

and what exactly is the perceived problem from there being alot of experts on here? Some of the cats here teach marijuana horticulture in actual schools; some of us actually write for weed magazines 
So who would you rather learn from? a bunch of novices? Yeah we have attitudes; cuz we've earned our knowledge thru years of reading books, magazines, countless hours of trial and error and hard earned experience. You wanna know what we know? take the hazing. welcome to the internet.

There are many ways to do things and many products that will get the job done. Find a grower on here who gets great results and pick their brain about their methods and processes. You need to pick and choose who you learn from, otherwise you'll be just another grower who overfeeds, believes in defoliation and 72 hours of dark before harvest, sticks nails through the stalks of their plants, and falls for the 'latest and greatest' snake oil additive on the market. Good luck!

Rep for this one. How can you know that running is better than walking if you never walk. You may get there faster but man will your legs hurt more. How do I know that a 100 dollar HPS bulb is better than a 25 if I never tried the 25 dollar one first. Oh yeah, the guy at the hydro store explained it to me so it must be so. Then all the tonics, holy crap you need a lab to really get down to the bottom of that.
Look, there's a old story that sums it up. Two bulls on a hill looking over a herd of cow's. The young bull says to the older, "why don't we run down there and fuck one of them cows"? The older bull say's, "No, I think we should walk down and fuck them all".

The only one on here calling anybody "Expert" is you.
These are public forums and anybody that follows the rules is free to visit, read and contribute. What they contribute is up to them.
We actually have MANY growers on RIU that have years of experience and some of them even love to share their experience by writing guides, how to's, spending hours answering the same old watering question that we see daily, or I have seeds, now what? questions. Don't get me wrong, those questions are valid, for a beginner, but we do offer, guides, stickies, PDF books, videos, picture guides, etc., to get the beginner started. But what do the majority of them do? The second they join and confirm their email response, they run to the forums to post a question that has been asked thousands of times.
So yes, you are going to get some snide remarks and responses if you are asking basic questions. Unfortunately, some people like to be rude, but rest assured, their karma comes back to bite them with "infractions".
So while you take a step back, please take the time to read the sticky, welcoming new members, and read a guide or two, all the way through, before asking a question. In fact, the ONLY thread a noob such as yourself should be starting this early upon joining is a self introduction thread......

Well Essie, you seem to have got people talkin'...lol!!
I rarely post, but read an aweful lot on these sites. I have been 'attacked' for having a different opinion and for not knowing 'something' I 'should' know. Growing pot seems to be like clothing fashions... everything thing seems to come full circle. what you "should never do" becomes "cutting edge techniques for MONSTER growth", and what's "cutting edge" becomes "otherwise junk" (l.e.d's anybody?!)
Take it or leave it. Good advice has already been stated "take what works for ya". When the shit has hit the fan in my grow room, I have turned to forums and tried some of the advice, usually with a bit of back research- so far so good.
As I have discovered travelling throughout many countries- "there are assholes everywhere, and there are some truly fine individuals as well- your job is to seperate the two". "Kumbaya" doesn't live here... have fun, don't take this place TOO seriously...!!

You go Homegrower 
That's why sometimes when the weirdest shit is spread around I ask the question:
Show me your grow
Then they can show me something.
It's kinda fun to watch "Dueling Newbies" trying to impress each other. I could have sworn the other day that a Newbie had two accounts and was arguing with himself.
Who cares
Good Growing.
