I was just wondering, since I'm pretty damn poor right now, and I will be for awhile. I have a nice space outside where no one ever goes, and it's right next to a creek so there's plenty of water. The only thing I'm wondering is how much time does it consume? Since I have school and work, I don't have a lot of time to go out there and care for the seeds/plants. So I wondering how hard it is, exactly.
Before you get flamed, please check the growing forum. Most of us stoners, ( I included, on a limited basis) , don't know jack shit about it. There should be penty of journals and guides elsewhere among the MJ forums.
It really isn't that hard and the only time consuming part is getting everything you need. This site has everything you need except the seeds.. http://www.planetnatural.com . just search the forums for the best seed site to use, i haven't ordered in awhile so I don't know the best ones to order off of atm.
it's not hard at all, and it certainly won't consume you full time especially if you are growing outdoors and are keeping the grow small (less than 6 plants). however, having said that, you MUST do the research on how to grow it properly. it's not as simple as just putting a seed in the ground, coming back in 3 months and all of the sudden you've got a pound of bud. if you know what you are doing, it can be a very fun and extemely rewarding. the biggest tip i can offer you is this: DON'T TELL ANYONE YOU ARE GROWING. no exceptions, ever. 99.9% of people who are caught growing are caught because they told the wrong person accidentally. stealth is key.
you could get away with just planting (pre-germinated would be better) seeds and coming back a few months later. you'd just have to plant a LOT of seeds, and not expect a very large/high quality reward
You should prolly read up on it for awhile. Know the difference between males and females, when to plant outdoors, when to harvest outdoors, etc. just reeeeaaddd motha fucka.
not true. you need to tend to the plants. not everyday necessarily, but TLC is required. if it was that simple, everyone would be doing it and weed would cost 5$ an ounce.
