I read just fine. You seem to be struggling though.
See ya in 2 months when you're back here wondering what went wrong 🤣
Than why is the word “prune” so hard for you to comprehend? Your “paper” (not a scientific paper) says pruning changes these numbers. It also goes and says 12” for one of its bullet points. It also says it’s a complex interaction, which I’ve used to rebuke your claims in every comment.
So you either didn’t read your source before posting it, or can’t comprehend the words in it. Nothing you’ve posted actually supports what you’ve claimed. It supports my claims quite well though.
See you in 2 months 🫡
You’re the epitome of this quote, that’s not an easy feat to accomplish, well done.
You can’t just Google something and paste it without comprehending it, doubly so when it proves the other persons point.
You have no self awareness. They tried to help and give advice. They weren't the only one to give that advice, but you got really defensive and convinced you were right. So rather than appreciating the effort, you just started arguing and focusing on how right you were.
It was clear you didn't want advice, just praise and validation. Eventually you just wanted to win an online argument you created. They opted out and you're still going.
I probably wouldn't respond to one of your posts in future, it's probably not worth it.
Anyway, I learned from what they were saying. It was interesting. Whether it was right, time will tell, but it was good food for thought.
How is providing completely false information and arguing when responded to is helping? And then when asked for the source, it doesn’t even say the same thing.
Is it being defensive to call someone’s bullshit out?
Did you notice the other user finally understood the method I was going for? They noticed their advice wasn’t needed after a little back and forth discussion, THIS user on the other hand…. As the other user said “general convention” I’m not going for general, and pruning changes things, like the persons “sources” state unequivocally. And yet you seem to miss this detail somehow too.
I’m not looking for advice (did you see me asking for any), and I’m not looking for praise and admiration (did you see me ask for any), I am sharing my method and process of growing, which is established on proven science, not some basic guidelines with no supporting research. And some user started spouting bullshit, so yes, I’m going to say something to prevent others from thinking it’s right.
What…? They’re the ones arguing and I didn’t create it.
They are the ones continuing to respond, even after pointing out their source agrees that pruning changes the “guideline”, not minimum numbers.
If you’re not just an alt of this user, you should really try reading the thread fully. And I’m sorry that you’re taking their comment to heart, instead of reading the sources that disagree with their comments.
Tomatoes aren’t like carrots, where there is actually direct consequences that you can’t address by planting too close together, the persons knowledge is pretty darn basic, and they’re burying their head in the sand to anything more complex than what’s on the back of the seed packages.
American?
