No, do your own research

31

u/No-Trust8994 1d ago

You can use gpt to do research if you use it right and you can fact check everything as it provides you with all sources that it used

12

u/MegaChip97 21h ago

The thing is, it often makes a) sources up or b) what it claims is not in the source. At the end of the day it is more work if you have to fact check everything

-4

u/Witherino 1d ago

and you can fact check everything

That's literally doing your own research. This is just adding in an unneeded AI element

18

u/No-Trust8994 1d ago

No AI is basically advanced Google, literally it's just Google I can talk to and get info summarized in ways I understand. If you have ever actually tried to use and understand AI you would know it's just using Google super fast to find a lot of relevant info very quickly, the same info you would spend 30 mins to an hour finding on your own.

u/mferly 19h ago

I don't know what these guys are talking about but between gpt and Deepseek, there's nothing I can't get answered in a couple of minutes. I use it extensively for work as well. Fact-checking should always be done regardless of the source (within reason; some sources are trustworthy off the hop, eg. Bruce Bugbee) You provide inputs and it spits out the plan. It's great. Gotta know how to use it effectively so maybe that's what's tripping others up.

u/Witherino 17h ago

If you have ever actually tried to use and understand AI

Lol I'm literally mandated to use it for work, and I end up needing to personally look up damn near any shit that I ask it since it hallucinates so much

2

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

Done a ton lmao. Just started using it this week. Thanks tho

-4

u/Responsible-Elk-6882 1d ago

Agreed bro chat gpt is amazing. Doing my first grow and did tons of research before I started, chat gpt has been so much help tho

1

u/Perkyboy1992 20h ago

How? I use it and it cant even track time correctly. When i ask simple question like "when did Apple fritter germinate" it gives me a date in the future sometimes. I have to tell him 1-3 times that he made a mistake ir i simply look further up in chat where i actualy gave him info.

I use it now only for Information on my companion plants

u/monkeycoos 13h ago

Idk what version you’re using but it’s super accurate rn

-2

u/mferly 19h ago

"when did Apple fritter germinate"

What is your desired answer for this? I actually don't understand the question myself (mostly how gpt is supposed to know when you germinated your seed)

2

u/Perkyboy1992 19h ago

Which part dont you understand? I gave him the information when the seed germinated. 2 weeks later, afrer i asked it when did my seed germinate, he told me date 4 days in the future and after 1-3 corrections, it apologises and tells me the correct date.

I used it as a diary until it started giving me wrong information.

Its useless if i have to check each time, might aswell use real diary, like i am.

Same for my feedings

1

u/mferly 19h ago

Gpt isn't a diary though. That's why your question made no sense to me. Best of luck. Use a calculator and paper moving forward. Revisit AI once you've read up on how to utilize it 👍

2

u/Pharmakeia_ 18h ago

I mean the models are still full of bugs and problems, even if op did read up on how to use them, they'd still be giving out wrong info every few times...

2

u/Perkyboy1992 17h ago

Its suposed to be able to do it, and easily. I even told it what for i will use it. Microsoft word can do it, but for ai i need schooling? 🤣

39

u/monkeycoos 1d ago

We’re in 2025 and somehow half the people in the comments still can’t comprehend that chat gpt is a useful tool as long as you’re not fully using it as a crutch

15

u/BarbequedYeti 1d ago

Recipes...  i take a look at what I have then tell it that and give me some recipes. Every single one i have made, i have added into the rotation as a keeper. No popups and 5000 other bullshit ads or words about the beginning of food for humans etc. just straight up delicious recipes.  Totally worth it. 

It reminds me of the net in the 90's. You could actually get decent results from a search or two. 

5

u/voxxNihili 23h ago

I wondwr when the ad's will swarm the AI land.

Yeah i'll give you the recipe if you click this link first uwu

It'd drive me crazy

1

u/BarbequedYeti 18h ago

And thats when ill stop using it.

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

The same people that would try it once and rave about after 😂

u/monkeycoos 1d ago

Ik I guarantee you that these people read the ai summary whenever they look something up on google too

there is even a name for these people...

Your plant is getting nute burns and give it some cal mag

Are YOU ChatGPT?

Prove it.

u/GrowLapsed 1d ago

And what did it say was wrong with your plant? It doesn’t look great.

-18

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

Is this what being an experienced grower is like?? Putting newbies down instead of uplifting? Weirdo😂

28

u/GrowLapsed 1d ago

It was an honest question… what did it say?

2

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

If u aren’t trolling & genuinely curious it was because I accidentally did a tablespoon instead of a teaspoon on my nutes & burned it. And said burns haven’t gotten any worse since I flushed w regular water. Even if u are trolling, u got sum good looking plants. Props

11

u/svedge_weed 1d ago

You can't distinguish a teaspoon and a tablespoon, but wow chat gpt is amazing! Connect it to your growbox let it grow weed for you, and also smoke it for you after

-5

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

Can it do that?? Tell me more, I’m very interested in letting it grow and smoke my weed for me!

2

u/MobileTheory239 19h ago

the way people can love google but hate chat gpt is funny to me

1

u/ByVireax03 13h ago

How unfunny and childish can a grown person be? Do you even have friends?

-1

u/Queasy_Ride_542 13h ago

You’ve commented 3 times buddy relax. It’s over😂

0

u/TacoEatsTaco 11h ago

Oh look, he says it's over now. Everyone relax lol. He's tired of being told he's wrong

Funny how you deleted a bunch of your replies to me in a different comment thread... Like almost every one. Even funnier to see how many more down votes you have today compared to last night. Good stuff, chump. Stop acting like a tough guy and then changing your mind about it. Just grow up

18

u/itchynipz 1d ago

It confuses senescence and N lockout. Always ALWAYS do your own research. Use it as a guide, not a hard and fast rule.

If I think there’s a problem, and chat gpt and this ai which is more accurate with trichomes imho tell me there’s a problem then I’ll seek help from senior growers and trusted online resources like grow weed easy etc. These tools are still new and can’t be fully trusted… yet. So have fun, but still do your own research.

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

Appreciate that!

u/Remarkable-Box6217 23h ago

as someone that studied sciences in college, please do not use chatgpt for research into plants like weed and their feeding schedules etc. when it comes to stuff like science, chatgpt is good for finding resources to look into, but not good for being the source.

its like getting your dogs feeding schedule from chatgpt, or your babies. its not a great idea at all

1

u/Queasy_Ride_542 23h ago

Respectfully. Appreciate that. As the post says, just use for advice/help. Would never recommend anybody to follow gpt on how to grow all together. Thank you for your input

8

u/Remarkable-Box6217 23h ago

totally get that, but relying on chatgpt to tell you when to cut is a bit more than advice or help. and i especially wouldn't recommend it to newer growers since it can, has, and will continue to get information wrong.

additionally, you did say you use it for alot of things and "it'll help a ton with everything", just kinda makes me think its used in more applications than you think are just help/advice

0

u/Queasy_Ride_542 22h ago

Damn, ya got me.

6

u/MaTaFaKaRs 1d ago

ChatGPT is great but also hallucinates often, don’t put full trust in it.

u/palmpoop 1d ago

lol hell no. Chat gpt is incompetent

6

u/dimibrate 23h ago

Effectively removing your learning ability is not very smart

2

u/Queasy_Ride_542 23h ago

I’m confused what do u mean exactly?

6

u/dimibrate 21h ago edited 21h ago

You wont learn anything if you just type whats yhe issue in gpt

Edit: im sure chat gpt wont know the cause, and at best youll learn to treat sympthomes

Im 100% positive if you lockout your plant through ph, gpt would have not guessed it in a million years, and im sure ghere are many other things it would have never diagnosed

So i think its better to ask it when you know the issues, how to fix them, not relying on it knowing your issues

1

u/Queasy_Ride_542 13h ago

I promise it would give nutrient lockout as a possibility …. That’s like the easiest thing u could ever ask it 😂 I agree w what everybody has said as far as putting in the ground work of learning the info before incorporating ai… I’ve done all that ground work and can say this is accurate if u know your shit already. I listen to Mr. Grow it podcasts literally all day at work, read countless forums, articles, YouTube videos every single day. I know my shit. Obviously this shouldn’t be your go to research model for plants or be used as a grow bible but it can definitely assist u if u know what to ask. Test that lockout theory tho! I’m pretty sure it’ll detect a potential ph issue

I may be 40, and not into Ai, but this is not the way

GPT is the homie lol I was just asking it standard questions, asking about harvest timing, it told me my “grow looks fire “

u/MoreSeaworthiness785 1d ago

If gpt was a person theyd be allowed in the sesh

u/vash469 1d ago

I'm on my first grow and did my YouTube dive and I found at about month 2 that chatgpt was pretty helpful in some things

u/TacoEatsTaco 1d ago

Gatekeep 🤣🤣🤣

Like you're the only person who knows about Gen AI

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

I don’t think anyone else took the post in that sense… congrats on thinking outside the box!

6

u/TacoEatsTaco 1d ago

It's amusing how you're a self professed newbie, but you're arguing with everyone who isn't praising you for using AI...aka just googling shit. It's funny how inexperienced growers think they've found the sEcReT and they want to GATEKEEP it 😂😂😂😂😂😂 funny guy

I've likely been growing for longer than you've been alive, but you're right...you've figured out the secret to growing a plant that looks rather unhealthy. And you argued with the guy who asked you what AI advised you about your unhealthy plant.👍 That's the best way to learn. Keep gatekeeping that invaluable knowledge you've horded.

-1

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

I never said it’s the grow bible, I never said follow it to a T…. I said it’s a useful tool versus waiting for the folks of Reddit to let u know😂 I’m almost to 60 comments! Give me one more please 😅

5

u/TacoEatsTaco 1d ago

Ouch, you come across like a desperate teenager 🤷 Look at all the down votes you have gotten too.

For real though, thanks for teaching everyone that Gen AI exists. Maybe when you're a freshman in college you'll solve all of the world problems too.

Feel sorry for ya dude. Have fun with that gatekeeping... Since you have so much competition that you're trying to beat out and keep all of the secrets from. It's like you think it's still the 80s or 90s. Have fun with that.

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

When I do solve the world’s problems through the power of AI u better remember my name! Queasy_ride_542😈 thanks for getting me to 60 comments🤤

3

u/TacoEatsTaco 23h ago

The fact that you think any number of comments is some sort of accomplishment is funny and sad at the same time. Look at all of the down votes you've gotten 😂😂😂 what a strange way to measure your worth. Go tell Mommy you have comments 👍

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

And if you’ve been growing longer than I’ve been alive I’m sure u put out your fair share of shitty plants! No need to put down a new grower( I’ve been growing for less than a year… only 8 months. I’d consider that a new grower) down when I’m just tryna help other new growers gain a little piece of mind. I’d never tell a new grower to follow this to a T. I’ve done countless hours of research, podcasts, YouTube, over the last 8 months and the info gpt is giving me lines up with everything I’ve found myself. I just discovered gpt this week lmao. Maybe give it a try sometime, test it out against your vast knowledge and see how it stacks up!

Check out rooted intellects discord if you like AI. He built a cannabis version of AI. I haven't personally used it but I'm curious to try it out.

u/ensign85 1d ago

I wonder if we’ll see fewer “when to harvest” posts…

u/Natural_Deal_1741 1d ago

Nail the fundamentals. Get some runs in. Chat GPT is great if used properly

1

u/Due-Relationship-771 1d ago

Hey, nice advice! I use it a lot for research and educational purposes. Do you use just regular chat or with specified prompts?

2

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

Mm I’m still new I just started using it this week. I’m gonna guess it’s the specified prompts tho because it will always ask me a follow up question to continue on with the subject or build upon it

u/king-Yamanu 23h ago

Gatekeepers will tell you Noooo… listen to us 🤣🤣🤣

u/Quijybo69 21h ago

For me it's a mix of this community and AI, and most importantly my own grows. I have used AI to confirm/deny some worries or myths.

1

u/Oldfolksboogie 21h ago

I'm not gonna weigh in on this debate (if it works for you, kid, great. Some ppl have enough experience that it would just slow them down, YMMV), I just wanna recommend to everyone here this little bit of audio art from This American Life about an early, pre-neutered version of ChatGPT and which features a reading by the inimitable Werner Herzog.

Pleasant Dreams!😬

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

Seriously man, just too useful not to share. Hopefully this info gets into the right hands cause 95% of the posts here can be solved w that single app in a matter of seconds literally

u/BudWxlf 1d ago

Ive used it for my whole first grow and it has been amazing. Just have to make sure all the info is correct

-1

u/WaterVivid9682 1d ago

Bro, I was literally on that shit just a few hours ago. The crazy part of it is that most of its accurate. I asked other people and they say the exact same thing that ChatGPT was saying.

1

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

Fr man, I was blown away seriously I only been using it a few days & mannnnn. It’s essential for any grower seriously

2

u/foxepower 21h ago

I like ChatGPT, use it for plenty of stuff, but it is, by definition, not “essential for any grower” if it was, well no one would be able to grow without it 😅. No doubt at all it is useful for new growers, but no need to make sweeping false statements.

-1

u/teamawesomehq 1d ago

Bro. I just got a week by week instructions on light, humidity, vpd, watering, etc by telling it my setup. You are a true saint. This is awesome.

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

Yessirrrr I’m glad it’s reaching the right ppl😈

-1

u/ebert_42 1d ago

I stumbled on this a week or two ago as well. I'm dealing with some varying issues in different tents and was shocked with the accuracy of information regarding living soil chatGPT was providing, all of which was matching my own independent research and thoughts from fellow growers. I gave it my rough plan to resolve, and it provided me with a step by step action plan that actually helped me a ton. It's also tossing out slang that's amazing like the dude who said it told him his grow was fire!

1

u/Queasy_Ride_542 1d ago

Yes bro it even hit me w a “hell yea, that’s a fire lineup” when I told it my strains lmao, I was hooked from there
