Yes, you are limited at first (I think 3-5 reply) but I don’t know exactly what you want to do.
You can start a thread, like this one and you can ask for help if you needed.

I can’t post yet but have a question: I have a Greenfingers 60x60x140cm Hydroponic Grow Tent Kits Indoor Grow System and three autoflower seeds that have just sprouted. I put them in soil: 3 parts peat moss, 3 parts compost, 2 parts perlite, moistened and 1 part vermiculture, moistened with a PH level of 6.5-7. What else do I need to do? I’m getting really confused with what LED lights to get, what distance the lights need to be from the plants and whatever
else I need for the system. I get the watering part and the lighting schedule but any help and suggestions would be appreciated. I’m getting really confused with so much information!

Go up to the top of the main page when you open forums, if you’re on mobile make sure you’re scrolled all the way to the top of the page, look to your left in the middle of the screen. There will be a + sign with the words create post to the right of it. It will create a drop down, where you can type in and add the specifics of what you’d like to post and where. Hope this was helpful

This is actually insane. You would think ILGM would make it easier for customers to post issues they are experiencing with their plants. I have a seedling that is having troubles so I was hoping I could post for assistance. Now I just wasted my time creating an account. Very frustrating for customers.

The forum does this to keep out bots and unwanted trash. You could always hit up the seed shop customer service for help. Or just hang around a few minutes reading, maybe use the search function to search a problem. Like a few post and bingo, your in.

Well you can post now, as @StonedCold13 has said there’s a need to prevent bots and people who doesn’t have good intentions. One of the reasons this forum is so popular is that people can come here and feel safe. No bots, trolls, or negative personal comments about other members. There’s probably hundreds of forums that someone can get help from. But the few other forums I’ve been on, will allow members to troll and be negative with their opinions about others methods.
