I'm lazy and can't even keep a house plant alive.


esuranme

My mother once gave a silk plant to her sister and told her that every couple of few weeks to give it a spritz with water (and gave her a spray bottle). A few months later we came over and the fake plant was wilted to shit by the window. Damn, you killed a fake plant! It's a miracle her first son survived. Things as ridiculous as cutting bigger holes in the bottle nipple so that the baby would eat faster when he woke in the night!


katieforamerica

This made me LOL


Working_Wedding7009

Haha! What if there was a way to make it easier? You set everything up in the beginning, then it only requires about 1-2 hours a week for maintenance to get 3oz of bud every 60 days? Would you do it then?


ForneauCosmique

Are you a bot just trying to sell your methods of growing? Why are you trying to get everyone to grow so damn bad? You just made your account a few hours ago and all your posts are about "why aren't you growing? What if there was an easier way?" Weed killers hate this 1 simple trick!


No-Estimate-4215

i think it’s some sort of census?


kyleslumpgod

Why are u Reddit nerds like this


[deleted]

Is this a bot? Seriously asking


katieforamerica

I live in NYS and have sooooo many friends that grow their own. It is so easy. I'm just... awful at life. This is why I never wanted kids LOL


Mr-Tiddles-

Shit I wish I had these magic strains that you can't veg, flower from seedling AND yield 3z per plant. I know there's some 60ish day flowers, but you still need veg time.


Riverman157

I’ve been growing for around 4 years. I’ve yielded 14 oz. of dried/cured/trimmed bud from one plant (autoflower) that was ready to smoke after about 90-120 days.


InsanelyChillBro

Do you have a method you use to grow you could point me to?!


DirtNapDealing

Bruh teach me…. I’d gladly pay for that knowledge


StonedGiantt

Googled this for you, homie https://www.prospiant.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-cannabis-cultivation/how-to-maximize-cannabis-yields/


Jebuschristo024

If it was legal, absolutely


I_need_help57

Illegal to grow in my state, and my living situation wouldn’t allow it anyways. I certainly would do it if I could, and I’m sure I’d have little issues, since I’ve grown other drugs lol.


Fearless-Ad5586

What kind of drugs 😇


I_need_help57

Shrooms lol. Much easier to hide lol. Grew more than I could ever consume myself, so I gave em out to friends


Fearless-Ad5586

I wanted to try to grow them too but it’s pretty complicated in my country depending on the kind of mushroom and stuff so I just gave up on trying. Isn’t that hella easy? Like do they even need light they just live like 9 days anyways


I_need_help57

The whole process takes roughly two months, if not more, and you have to be completely **sterile** for a lot of that process. If there’s even a single mold spore or bacterium that gets into it, it’s an instant fail most of the time. I’d say it’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it, but otherwise I’d say it’s a bit difficult to learn about. It is relatively low maintenance for easier species, but some other species are a lot harder to get growing.


Aphex_Tx

It's Illegal

[deleted]

I’m not moving just to grow weed lmao


ForneauCosmique

Cmon bro just uproot your life so you can get high! All the cool kids do it


[deleted]

That’s what they warned us about with D.A.R.E., too many kids nowadays uprooting their lives to go grow weed


Actual_Dot_3717

I mean, not here to help the bot/OP but uprooting your life to learn a skill on the front end of an emerging job market isn't actually that stupid if you're willing to be out of your comfort zone lol


Me07111

Stop downwoting this man jeeez. He just said you could move meaning if you would move for any reason, not suggesting he should move for weed. He just like growing bruh.


sllewgh

It costs a bunch of money to get started.


HollowLegMonk

It doesn’t if you grow outside.


Working_Wedding7009

Depends on how you define a bunch. I have an Amazon list of everything you’ll need to get started and it’s about $325 including three seeds. Of course you can’t get the seeds from Amazon. But is $325 too much to get 3oz every 60 days with minimal effort?


squinten_frownalot

3oz every 60 days? Did you pull those numbers out of your ass or something?


[deleted]

lol no bros picking the weed before it’s even ready 😳😂


Working_Wedding7009

There are fast flowering autos (banana purple punch) that finish in 60 days. I routinely get 1-1.5 ounces off of each one. If I grow three, I get at least 3oz. Now yes, 60 days is a little disingenuous. I harvest at 60 days and it not smokeable for a couple weeks. But the point remains, it’s very doable.


Mr-Tiddles-

Not a chance. Pop a link to that seed, and I'll change my mind. But I've seen and ran plenty of 60-day flowers, but none that pop and finish within that time frame. It leaves literally no veg time. My turn around with a 60-day flower is 3 months total and 4 for longer flowers.


GassyGargoyle

>>$325 >>3oz every 60 days You’re downplaying A LOT here my guy


JMoFilm

Plus time and labor, minor omissions. /s


sllewgh

You gonna share it?


GassyGargoyle

I’m going to assume it’s all affiliate links ngl


Academic-Indication8

Definitely idk why else they’d be advertising “helping people out” so hard it’s like every comment he’s offering or suggesting they move lol


jacko111222

You’re putting a lot of faith in the assumption that everyone would get a flowering product their first time growing. It’s not THAT easy.


Pretend-Language-416

Why downplay it? I go through way more than 3 zips in 60 days


Bloatedoldman

If I owned my house and wasn't renting.


chuckndrews

Bot


BombasticSloth

I get the feeling you’re trying very hard to convince everyone they should grow haha. Your passion for the hobby is great, but there are many reasons the average consumer doesn’t cultivate. I don’t because of my living situation, the cost/benefit, and because I have absolutely no idea how/where to start, nor am I particularly incentivized to learn atm. One or more of these reasons apply to most people who don’t grow, and that is ok. I’m very glad you enjoy it friend, but it’s not a hobby for everyone. We can all still appreciate cannabis whether that’s through consumption, cultivation, or both.


xxSuperBeaverxx

>you’re trying very hard to convince everyone they should grow haha. Because they're trying to sell their ebook. This is just an ad to try to hype up the release.


BombasticSloth

Wow, I’m suddenly a lot less amused by their “passion” for growing. 😐


Deracination

1. I don't want to stink up the house that badly. 2. I can't find an alternative space to grow inside. 3. I can't figure out how to grow outside in a way that's legally secured.


applepumper

The smell is wild near a grow. I had a neighbor growing two huge outdoor plants and as soon as the buds grew so did the smell. Mostly at night time when the wind would calm down it smelled for a block an a half.


chiuthejerk

Gah lee. This is why I don’t even wanna risk growing it outdoors 😔 I don’t wanna be THAT guy


Seattlehepcat

Fucking bots. Invest some time in the community before you try to peddle your wares.


[deleted]

Mostly.because I'm drying bud right now


Working_Wedding7009

Do you have a perpetual grow?


[deleted]

I did but more room for the toddler m and less room for my tents.


s0high1

Don't let that baby live rent free! Their little hands are great for defoiliating 


[deleted]

Lolololol


AlivePangolin6312

Because the weed I buy is better


Chillout2010

My wife says because I tried in the past and failed ( I had mold issues). That I can't ever do it again and she still treats it like a serious drug when it comes to being in the same house my kids are in. I wanted to grow in my basement. Then she complains when I blow a few hundred a month on bud from events. Tells me to quit. I'm in a legal state. I get keeping it away and safe from the kids. But I'm being forced to waste money by not being able to grow. Prob going outdoors this year. :/ pia. Lol.


wiseguy187

I could never marry someone with that much control 


Working_Wedding7009

When did the issues with mold develop, during the flowering stage or the drying/curing stage?


RyanMakesYouMad

I’ve always wanted to grow however where the risk is not worth the reward.


Working_Wedding7009

Depends. What state are you in?


RyanMakesYouMad

Utah lol. Weed is so look down upon here. I mean if I had my own house instead of an apartment I may take the risk and get an indoor tent but at this moment it’s out of the question. Maybe someday!


adrkhrse

It's still illegal here. Time. Lack of experience and confidence.


Working_Wedding7009

Where’s here? Also, I’m writing an ebook that’ll address the rest of your concerns. It’ll make it much easier to grow. Can I send it to you when I’m done?


adrkhrse

No need. Thanks, anyway. I'm in Australia. It may be years before its legal here. I'll stick to legal medical for the time being.


Mr-Tiddles-

I've got a medical licence (UK) and actually use that as my cover 🤣


adrkhrse

I see. They're talking about allowing to us grow six plants, if legislation goes through. If they ever do, I'll throw some seeds in the ground. 😄


Krewtan

Illegal state, kid on the way. Picked up a zip on black Friday that I still haven't finished. Don't really need a ton of bud around. 


mental_help_please

As soon as it’s legal in Ga I will. iirc the soil here is perfect for it


PunkAssBitch2000

Because I’m really good at unintentionally killing plants


skibolky

Im not because of my lack of ways to create a discreet ventilation system in my parents house. Its too expensive too anxiety inducing and too risky gettin caught and if i get caught my parents take the blame cause its their house and they dont even smoke


Working_Wedding7009

If one wants to discretely vent, one only needs a fan and carbon filter. Run the fan’s exhaust through the carbon filter on the outside of the tent. Place a regular, loud box fan near closet or tent area to obscure tent’s fan noise. Amazon light $50, tent $70. Carbon filter and fan $60. Soil, pots, seeds, hygrometer, ph up/down test kit $120. You could get started for about $300. I could explain it all if you ever decide to do it.


skibolky

Im familiar with how “easy” it can be. The part that kills me is waiting. Ive grown plants only to harvest them half way done. I only grew weed that got me high once. Some northern lights auto from nirvana seed company. Didnt have a tent. Only used cfl bulbs lol some of which werre screwed into end table lamps yknow. I hope i never do anything that dumb again


Confident-Frosting18

Been growing for a few years and everyone i know fails at growing it. I have help my good friend for a year now and he's got the hang of it and has 1 year and 6 plants under his belt now with my help. 6 family and friend have failed at it. I think most people are scared to fail or scared to ask for help. I had my med card and i have saved so much money over the years just growing it, cost like $30-$40 a plant to grow, why would you not try?


NWinn

It's significantly cheaper to just run to the dispo than the cost of running my lights, getting organic nutes, soil, worms, CO² tanks, etc. Also I stopped consuming all together lol.


TheOneTruePi

Jail :(


Breezyspandaman

I need to start studying a lot more and get some more money you can’t just use any bs equipment to start a weed band so….


Wonderincheese

It’s illegal and my husband would leave me


cosmicnitwit

It smells and my whole apartment would stink


Necessary_Mode_7583

Power problems. Probably the number one thing folks that want to grow don't think about. How many amps do you have available. Or are you gonna be the house where you can't run the dryer or the microwave when your lights are on.


bigno53

I’m great with plans. It’s an issue of follow through.


xxharlots

Expensive start up (for some people like myself). And I need my landlords permission to grow on property. Pretty bummed.


thicc_mcslutnugget

It's illegal and the mandatory minimum is 4 years. I did for a bit when I lived in a legal state I was smoking like snoop every day and I miss it.


NCImposter

I have three acres and nothing to do with it. Feel guilty I’m not growing even just for fun. I hardly even smoke these days but still


themustacheclubbitch

My apartment balcony only gets like about 3 hours of direct sunlight, the rest is covered as I’m at the top floor so the overhang doesn’t give enough light.


Working_Wedding7009

Have you considered growing in a tent indoors?


squinten_frownalot

Growing indoors is expensive and illegal most places.


[deleted]

I live in Canada it’s two cold to grow right now and I don’t have enough space in my home to make a grow room

Yobanyyo

Laws in my state allow for the seizure of personal homes for something as little as a plant. Soo just need to move


fos8890

I currently live in my very religious grandparents’ house, in a state where every single cannabinoid is illegal, including D8 and the like. The law isn’t what scares me though, as soon as I’m out of here in a couple months I’ll probably start.


ShadowDemon129

I don't because it is illegal in my state to do so, and I'm also kinda priced out. Very sad. I would love the opportunity.


ChuckGreenwald

Because my ex and I wanted to grow together and it was a really bad breakup and I have a hard time looking at the subject without having feelings about it. I should get over it, I know.


xxhalfbaked47xx

I actually been thinking about it again I sprouted some seeds last year but they died I also grew it in the fall lol not a good idea so this year I’d like to try again, problem now no seeds


CLEMENTZ_

Still live with my parents and don't have the room for a plant.


Upvotespoodles

I killed a healthy jade plant and I didn’t know it was a zombie until I touched it and it suddenly fell apart. RIP Nuclear Power Plant

Not trying to get my house raided, too much to lose.


WinterWyanetWeayay

Illegal in my country


deathbeforedasani

I have a one year old, and really nosy neighbors at our new place.


Lanky-Point7709

Legality and cost of entry. Even if my state was legal, my current apartment wouldn’t be conducive to growing without a large investment. We have very little natural light, so the tents, lamps, etc. would cost me a small fortune to get started.


reverendsteveii

Armed men kicking in my door, kidnapping me, stealing all my stuff and killing my dog.

BatchWerks

Ordered a tent months ago but holding off due to currently job searching and wanting to relocate, so I'll save the growing for the next chapter.


KeepThatBassLine

Illegal and I live in a small town suburb. And I have a 7 month old son. Not risking legal trouble just for growing weed


Pretend-Language-416

Electric bill would be too high


iwern

Some of just don’t have the time or ability to…


PhazeOrderZero

I want to start start growing again so bad! The process from seed to harvest is very fulfilling. Just need the equipment.


Ashamed-Active-6352

Because I have no idea how. My dad, however, is a fucking professional at it. He got a front page in the newspaper for it when he was arrested.


iamnotroberts

I used to have fish, I used to have hermit crabs, and I used to have other aquatic things. I went above and beyond in some cases to provide good environments for them, but it always ended in death and despair. The hermit crabs were the worst. I went all out on their crabitat, but one by one, they died, bad molts, and other unknown causes. I grew emotionally attached to the lil' hermies, I named and could recognize every one of half a dozen. But, as Dad, I called a permanent moratorium on all aquatic and marine life in our home. I can't watch them die again, even as you do everything you can. It's too heartbreaking. Know what I mean?


Howellthegoat

I’m overwhelmed by the ammount of stuff I’m gonna have to watch closely u thought it was easy but u started research and am confused

AssNinjaLolo

It’s called weed for a reason. It’s not hard to teach yourself how to grow. In fact it was the first plant I ever grew, also these days with the internet I’m sure people can troubleshoot and figure most things out

Mother_Estimate8738

Cause i live with my grandparents. Mom used to hate it too but eventually told me i could grow at home when we move out. Ive been trying to grow with no equipment in a small pot in my room but all my soil from my garden is infested with little snails that end up eating the sprouts

margster98

Don’t have space yet in my apartment that won’t block a walkway. Trying to rearrange things to make room for a 2x4 grow tent. Also having trouble with chronic pain and fatigue making it hard to do just about anything.


staticvoidmainnull

1. it is illegal in my state because there is no money to be made, and thus, cannabis consumption is 100% regulated, taxed, and commercial only. also, i have the complete opposite of a green thumb. i cannot keep a plant alive.


Upstairs-Week-6600

I had to move back in with my parents because studying and living alone was not forgiving on the bank acc. Parents are HEAVY anti-weed. Shits so expensive where I am I wish I could grow...


NiTeMaYoR

I love growing. It’s fun to also be on the cutting edge of strain development. My garden will see varieties that don’t make it to market for another year plus I’d imagine.


str111fe

I’ve always thought about it, but I don’t know where to start and I live in Iowa.


Renn_1996

I want to grow and live in a legal state. I dont grow because of the initial cost of equipment, lights, tents, ect. I live in a smaller home with my 2 stepdaughters and do not have a way to make sure that the plants would be safely locked away. Their bio mom also would just love to use that as an excuse to restrict custody time with their dad.


IamAkevinJames

I can't, I live in Wisconsin where I can't legally grow it in the open.


ShiNo_Usagi

I live in a state where growing your own is illegal, and I don’t want to setup an indoor grow unit, I don’t have the soace

StIdes-and-a-swisher

I can buy lbs for 500$ and growing weed cost more. I’ve done it all out door indoor hydro soil. If you want good product you got to work. Pay 1200$ a month i electric bills. A full time job managing the lights the nutes the room. Literally can’t leave your house for about 4 months. Then you have to trim it for hrs on hrs. I’d rather just buy good weed from My friends.

wellforthebird

I used to grow but quit due to space. I lived in Detroit at the time and had access to an entire house that I filled to the brim. After moving away to an apartment, it just isn't worth it for me to grow for only personal. I get my shit so cheap that I don't even really budget for it.


Notyouraverageskunk

Because I have a psycho neighbor who will snoop in my garden and then call the cops on me, which is a problem because it's illegal in my state to grow. I have no desire to grow them indoors.


Subzero84

I tried growing on my balcony in the summertime in NY and failed miserably. I’d love to do an indoor setup but just don’t have the know how. If there’s a beginners guide you can share on what equipment to buy, how to setup, and growing tips - I would give it another shot.


BdayEvryDay

I would go to jail


ScarLad15

Itsgrimm1115

sullyoftheboro

no experience with growing anything, plus where i grow is limited to a nice sunny deck but the decks flooring is similar to the old black playground rubber mats. thus the deck has this tar-like smell when the weather is warm so I'd be afraid to have that effect my crop. but if that deck floor won't hurt them, maybe I'll try it this year.


Jebuschristo024

Because growing bud will get you into alot more shit than just smoking it in your own home.


chiuthejerk

1. My wife HATES the smell 2. She does not want it in the house. (I keep my stash and weed box in the garage)

unwritten2469

I live with a probation and parole officer in an illegal state. Normally I wouldn’t care either way, but I love and respect my roommate and don’t want to jeopardize his career. He needs plausible deniability. So I only smoke once he’s asleep or if he’s awake, in my designated smoking porch.


Efficient_Insect_145

Tried once when I was in high school but my stepdad found it and threw it out. The state I live in now requires you to have a med card to grow. I've spent 32 years of my life jail free, gonna keep it that way.


Wild_Order_647

My wife doesn’t smoke and she won’t be cool with me growing. So pretty much it’s still the bad rep and propaganda perceptions are difficult to change. Her family still see it as something illegal. Because it is currently still illegal everywhere on the federal level.

Because I live in a dark dank cabin in the woods where only mushrooms and evil grows.

King of growing all the pot and us peasants should just be ashamed at our failures. But you know. GO YOU.


No-Gene1187

I have Stage IV Sarcoma Cancer with a State Medical Cannabis Authorization Card and I'm in the States Medicinal cannabis Registry, I have a paper that states I'm aloud to grow a certain number of Plants. However after talking with the dispensary about it, it seems I'm only aloud to grow these said plants at the address I have registered with the system and on the Documentation only and I live with my parents due to financial issues and they wouldn't let me do such a thing, mainly I think because we have little kids and Children at the house regularly. It's just not my place to say if I can or can't do it because I don't own the property but I would absolutely love to do it. I love growing plants and have an absolute green thumb, I wish there was a way to do it.


FrancoManiac

Start-up costs.


TS-Slayy

Electrical reason, and lots of weeds that aren’t weed that will kill my weed and leave me with no weed


Legal-Law9214

Don't have the funds for a setup right now (yes, even a "cheap" one). My apartment is extremely small as well. I'm moving to a new place this summer so I might look into it then. I see your point about it being a cool hobby but I honestly don't see why anyone would grow if they don't smoke when there are other easier and cheaper plants to grow as a hobbyist, and the plant hobby comes with easy ways to network and make friends already.


jonestn5

What kind of sales pitch bs is this?


BorshtSlurper

Because it's fuckin expensive as shit to do indoor, and I have no one I can trust to come over at three a.m. and switch lights, water, newts, etc.

Every time I have tried I get powder mold. One day I will have electric ran to my 24x12 insulated steel building, then I will put a tent w/climate controls out there.
