I think growing is very easy , it goes almost automatically the way i do it and everyone who did their first harvest this way has had a bomb result cuz it is so easy anyone can do it.

The hard part i think is the drying and curing , to get the weed at a certain point and keep it that way.

What do you guys think? Do people really think you just plant seeds, add some sunlight and PRESTO = you get money?

money? some people actually grow just to have a nice supply for themselves , i earn money(or better said save money) by not having to spend money in a lousey coffeeshop

Your typical american, around here anyways, will get the idea and all the sudden think he/she is an expert and refuses to accept or look for help. Or will be open to only one suggestion at a time relying on themselves for the rest.

The only time they will listen is if their job security is threatened or something else of theirs is threatened, they are just too damn ignorant to learn a massive amount of information over the course of a few months.

Outside, it grows by itself. Been like that forever. If you live in the right part of the world its literally everywhere. in the PI its outta control.

But..

When you start working with picky hybrids, and recreating an artificial environment you have to learn so many skills just to have a good indoor grow.

It actually can be very easy cannabis is a weed it will grow if you get it past the seedling state and transplant outdoors. I am a young grower on my second grow (hungry deer ate my first attempt) after that I researched for 6 years everything I could find about the plant and a manner of other drug plants/medical plants. My plants are very healthy with minimal effort in a hydroponics system, almost every clone I have ever cut has lived including a 100% for my first time with 30+ clones. What your seeing is a loss of intelligence of the masses due to fascist consumerism and extremely outdated school systems geared toward factory production and not toward open thinking. Brainwashing technologies and limited lifetime products that serve to perpetuate the veil that nothing is wrong and to distract the ever lowering IQ of the masses. Luckily there are some intelligent open minded people in this country (a small percentage of the population) that when the chicken scat hits the fan it won't be in their faces. Anyone with half a brain can learn how to grow a plant it just goes to show how many closed minded retards there really are.

Yeah, growing weed, in and of itself, is very easy. Its the legal issues that mess things up, but then keeping your grow secret or whatever, is not growing weed. So yeah, growing weed on a small scale (indoors with a few 1k lights) is relatively easy...

Haha IMO I don't think anyone would be that dumb... (Yet again, never say never in LA...) ....Looks like the cops set up left overs from busts, and anything they could find in the evidence room. Called the press, had a photo shoot, and left with a pay check. It's like when people fake working to stay busy and pass the time. haha oink

As an experienced group, we all understand (us growers) how much lighting we need, what strains to choose, what mediums to use, what growing systems suit us best, what our P.H should be, watering cycles, CO2, etc, etc, etc…. but now that marijuana has caught such mainstream attention with shows like “Marijuana Inc.” (which I happen to love) and cannabis laws changing everyday, I hear so many people talking about “I want to grow weed” that I think to myself “man, don’t they realize how hard this is?”

Go onto to Google and type in “how to grow marijuana” and you’ll see number 1 – 698,000 different links of “how to grow marijuana”. Everyone is trying to sell their books or DVD’s but they don’t want to tell you how if you plug your lights incorrectly into different sockets how you can burn your whole house down. How you can invest anywhere from $2,000 - $40,000 and completely fuck up your first harvest by not knowing what you’re doing and losing your ass in the process, or probably getting a beating from the guy who fronted you the money!

There is so much that goes into growing, but all people see are the $$$$. (I’m talking about the retards that know nothing about this and want to grow). Am I the only one that’s kind of urked' by this or have you felt the same way? I keep reading posts on different people wanting to move out to cannabis friendly states to grow but they don’t realize that true experience comes from trial and error. If you can afford it.

What do you guys think? Do people really think you just plant seeds, add some sunlight and PRESTO = you get money?

1st of all (with all due respect) u were also one of those "...retards that know nothing about this and want to grow," at one point in your life. so was/am i and so was everyone else. we all gotta start somewhere.

Second, IMHO, growing is extremely easy. u provide 3 basic things in the correct proportions. BAM! thats it!!!perfect proportions = perfect plants. not so great dial-in = not so great plants.lol.. the REAL difficulty is INCREASING THE SIZE of the Op.
growing is one of those things that u learn as u go. which is pretty much how everything works. like u said, trial and error, right?

im just rambling now but dont get urked by the newb's. we all have our reasons for wanting to get into this "thing of ours"
some of us lost our jobs and need to put food on the table.
some of us desperately need medication.
some of us just love this fucking plant and cant take getting butt-fucked by dealers for bullshit weed at a retarded price anymore.
some of us are just bored and need a hobby.
whatever the reason,
lets stop the bullshit and lets just help each other out so we can ALL learn how to grow great shit(together).

In my opinion, if you take some time to really read through the facts and get to know the basics before you start, growing IS easy.

i think its easy to grow, but somehow people round my way seem to find it difficult to grow anything to a half decent standard.
even when i fuck my plants up an nearly kill them half way thru flower they still turn out to be 10 times better than anything else thats grown around my ends. makes me wonder wot they do its like they try to grow shit weed or something.

i still find that everyone else i know that dont grow also thinks its one of the hardest things to do an like rocket science, tryin to tell them its easy jus seems to make the whole thing seem more difficult, for them anyway.

people make it too complicated seriously. till up a good spot of decent dirt add some kind of decent poo some ash and charcoal some water and a tiny bit of tlc and it works pretty good. that seems easy to me lol its not like digging a ditch or building a building lol.

could be a first run of an unknown strain and they were not sure on how much they were gonna stretch at flower + low yielder + main colas could be cut off already. It happens.

so top gardeners agree its acceptable to throw up 10k to test if a strain sucks or to dial it in

instead of running it first in a test environment and running something that puts our more than a 10th a fucking gram per watt

I think most people believe that plants (of any kind) are easy to grow, so cannabis must be easy too. And, for the most part, it is.

Just like anything else though, you have to learn a little bit about it in order to produce healthy, vibrant, potent product.

Yeah, i think my first crop looked like that, I jumped into commercial growing with both feet $12K in equipment for a 3KW grow) and though I knew a lot about growrooms, I didn't know shit about GROWING.

That said, my only failed harvest was my first one. Even it the crop was in tatters, I always harvested SOMETHING out of each plant. I never quit, never give up, and I learn from my mistakes. I've never pulled a crop because it got damaged, I just fix it.
