No comparison there. I could tell a grower how to get up near a g/w with a couple of pages of text. People go to school to be chemists and programmers. I wouldn't feel safe trusting a chemist or programmer's work if he hadn't at least spent a year of intense training. Growers can learn by farting around. Want to give a lab over to some Joe off the street so he can learn by doing? Sure, horticulturalists go to school too, but for growing that's overtraining.
Do people REALLY think growing marijuana is easy?

I'm glad this thread was brought back to life! Thanks guys ~
Yeah but that's getting into opinion. What's "quality medicinal herb"? It's always hard to be in the top 10% or whatever of anything enough people are doing, but that's like saying tying your shoelaces is hard because some people are soooo good at it and man their knots are just the best ever. LOL.
Growing good product is easy. Growing "top grade medicinal blow your socks off product" is just a way for people who want to make growing sound elite to get their wish.
Not in California they're not, go ahead and ask me how I know. Lately I'm lucky to get $175 an ounce for quality indoors, but I don't sell ounces.
The days of getting rich growing weed in California are over.
Yes... they most certainly do.
You brought it on yourselves!!! Tell me you didn't see it coming...
I hope you aren't complaining.

Yeah its funny to me too. I see people spending 20-30k on 10's of thousands of watt setups, I ask them if they have ever run a hydro setup before and I usually get, "Man its not like its that hard." That usually last about a month and then they are back in asking whats wrong with this and whats wrong with that. I try to explain that takes work, timing and dedication to get the first rate shit. I think that the other mistake that people make is bringing in too many people. Often those guys spend all that cash on the big bad ass setups have someone that "is totally going to run it all for me." From my experience that goes bad and quickly. Someone ends up getting burned or pissed off and the partnership fails!
I don't think that its over with for California at all. The flow of this last years outside is finally faded. Yes there was more than ever from outside. Just means you have to plan for it next year. Think about making some friends out of state. I know that its more work but trust me that there are states out there, that are still happy as hell to see that primo outside Cali come Oct. Plus if you have that first rate stuff save it and let it get a really nice cure. Then when the flood is over, reap the benefits.

Plus we just got beat up with the outdoor crop and all the other idiots who became Prop 215 friendly and tried to grow for their first time or first few times so they can try to get a piece of the pie. There was a flood of all kinds of products in Cali and really tied down the market.
Now that the outdoor is slowly moving out and people are trying to re-plant for next years crop, we can gear for the drama that lays ahead. Probably bet that AT LEAST double the garbage that came through this year will be ready for next year.
And don't get me wrong, the guys who grow the BOMB will always be growing the BOMB. They are not included in my discussion because you KNOW FIRE WEED when you have it. The best bet for now is to get your indoor skills ready because the drought is coming again my friends. We see this every year.
Indoor prices will skyrocket because outdoor crops are 6-7 months away. Plus with all the people that DON'T KNOW what their doing will quickly realize that "God, this business sounded glamorous but really isn't for me" because of the failed crops and lack of capital. The game will always find ways to weed the rookies out unless your persistent or have a large amount of funding.
I say in 2 months everything goes back to normal. Don't give up on the indoor because the drought is on its way. Happens everytime guys!!

Right on.Growing Marijuana is easy, is just plant isn´t it!? We´ve been doing it for ages...
It´s even easier to make money out of growing marijuana business.
All this nonsense of medical marijuana gives me the creeps. I´ve been smoking for more than 20years now and allways, i mean allways, found a medicinal value in all my herbs.
In other hand you can turn the growing experience into a art and try to find the golden pot in the end of the weed rainbowBut in my opinion that´s Trophy Hunter mentality or even worst evil marketing.
Just my humble opinion
yah totaly. I have smoked really old weed bafor and it was the bomb.
ROFLMAO. I hear yah.
Me too!
When i do something because i love it i shouldn´t be expecting money and glory out of it. That´s being greedy
I respect allmost all jobs but please don´t expect a damn Nobel Prize for putting us High as a Kite
I have been growing outdoors and micro closet growing for 12+ years now and have alwase gotten really really dank ass weed.
ok so what if I don't yield lbs of dank weed. I only grow for me and my family anyways. NOT for money and glory out of it.
and I really do just throw my seeds on the ground water them and watch them turn into bushy plants.
so yah growing weed is easy damit.
over and out. don't hate but instead appreciate.

my personal opinion is that if you are reasonably intelligent and have a love and passion/borderline obsession like me then eventually you will succeed at growing. you may have to deal with multiple failures before you get it right but that is just part of learning and developing your own personal style of growing. As for people thinking they can just throw seeds in soil and presto well....you may get lucky depending on where you live but it usually will take a great deal of knowledge, persistance, patience, and luck to get bangin crops again and again. I dont get mad at them for trying after all we were all there at one point or another. some of us just still keep on and that is what makes us professionals

I personally think a retarded monkey could grow the stuff, I mean outdoors atleast (I am a slightly evolved living example). Indoors may require a dedicated monkey but still with some dedication and time spent it can be done. I do agree to the extent that I dont think most people realize how much time and dedication is needed, you gotta kinda like growin stuff. Down below is my first ever plant, outdoor strawberry diesel. I read about growing years before actually attempting it, I just couldnt resist cultivating ganja. Peace and good vibes too all the new green thumbs out there. Keep planting the seed.

Take it from a guy who hitting .500, 10 attempts-5 losts, this shit aint easy!....
deer, water, dirt, electricity, light, sun, more water, mold, mites, nutrients, ph, root-rot, rabbits, squires, thieves, smell, heat, work work hard, hard, work and then after you get done, you still might get popped by some RedNick police!!
THIS SHIT IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM IS EASY!!! HELL, F*CK NOOOOOO!

I think it can be easy and hard depending on what you are doing. I've grown in and out over 20 years. I've had great outdoor years that were just sitting back and watching them grow,and I've had outdoor years where things were tough all over.(no pun intended) I've had indoor grows that nearly put me on the street and I've had indoor grows that made me move up the food chain. It really depends on what the F*CK is happening @the time of the grow. Weather,funds,oppression,pests,labor,there's so much invovled as much as there isn't sometimes. That's my 2 cent's worth.
ended the thread on the first post ha. well said
Growing weed is not that fucking hard.
You throw a seed in some dirt and the shit grows. Sure, you probably have to spend a little time reading and doing some research if it's the first time out, and the more you do it, the more experience you will gain, but the same can be said for almost anything.
