Brother, I feel you.
You know, my passion is actually rare plant collecting and mushroom growing and I am on a few different "private" groups some not so private, and I honestly have to say the cannabis community is the shittiest to navigate in terms of sharing helpful knowledge. I say that with all the respect in the world.
Sometimes you don't need to back and forth with someone cause you know what you know. I feel there's a lot.of ego in this community, because of its background alot of people invested in cannabis are just low lives. People with big aspirations, but no motivation. People that dream of being called "the King of Cannabis" without getting their hands too dirty. I have even had people from the cannabis community tell me how to do things they clearly have abosultely no clue about, but just because they once grew a cannabis seed till it had 3 sets of new leaves and now they hang out at every cannabis event and wear clothes with a cannabis leaf on it, that gives them the title as master grower of all things plant and nature related.
The all talk, no show.
I might be sugar coating a little, but sadly I even know a guy like this so I know I am not far off the truth. First thing he told me was that he is "a grower". Asked to see his plants. Don't have any at the moment... Big shocker. Start talking growing, I give subtle advice, he laughs and claims I can't tell him anything about growing, I give him a clone, it dies within a month. We don't talk much anymore.
We need to remind ourselves more often to not sink to that level, just keep pumping the good stuff and rather than trying to help stupid people, laugh at them.
