Dear Fellow Grower,
In today's issue...
- Should you grow weed? Serisouly, should you do it? You'd think that we'd say yes to everyone, but you'd be wrong in this case. We think that any person who wants to grow should check their situation against a list of criteria to make sure it's a good idea. By the end of this article, you'll have a definite, actionable answer to that burning question!
- Many soon-to-be cannabis growers wonder what to expect at harvest. Check out 3 proven grow setups that produce exceptional quality and yields every time!
- The bud in this weeks "Trophy Pics" are all great, but they leave me jealous because 2 out of 3 of them are grown outside under the beautiful, free sun. It must be nice to skip the cost of making an artificial sun. Outdoor growers, enjoy your free growlight (that works from 92 million miles away).

Should I Grow Weed? (Hint: Yes ✅)

Would you like to grow your own cannabis? One of the most common questions we get from new growers is whether they should or shouldn’t start growing. The truth is that the process of growing marijuana has pluses and minuses and the answer is different for everyone. For some people, growing
is a productive and enjoyable hobby that provides an unlimited supply of cheap, high-quality weed. For others, growing may be too time-consuming or involved. Plus, if you only enjoy weed occasionally, the process of growing may produce more buds than you could use.
Should you start growing your own weed?
I’ve compiled a quick list of factors to consider which should help you make the right decision!
Yes, you should grow weed if you…
1.) Want to pay $20/ounce for weed
The last decade has seen huge leaps in grow light technology and the quality of cannabis genetics available to the public. This means that the average home grower who uses good grow lights and quality genetics will consistently produce more and better weed than they did 10 years ago for the same amount of electricity, skill, and effort.
As a result, indoor growers can often produce better weed than the dispensary for a tiny fraction of the cost. Where I live in southern California, dispensary weed often goes for about $10/gram or ~$280/ounce for so-so weed. That’s absolutely insane
Charging $280/ounce for weed is downright unethical when it costs so little to grow
Especially considering that a home grower can use a 300W grow light to produce 10 oz per harvest for as little as $7/ounce in electricity (using the US average electricity cost of $0.12/kwH), plus the cost of grow medium, nutrients, and genetics*. That easily lets you harvest weed for under $20/ounce. The more you grow, the better your bud yields. And that also doesn’t consider that you can turn all your extra leaves into goodies like hash oil, edibles, and more. The leaves (often referred to as “trim”) are like getting several free ounces of weed every grow.
*after you buy genetics one time, you can take clones or make seeds for essentially free plants thereafter
Home growing lets you grow exceptional weed for a fraction of the cost to buy

These estimated costs assume you don't have any supplies yet and plan to buy everything off Amazon as opposed to DIY or shop around.
I included everything, as if someone were growing marijuana completely from scratch. A lot of these items cost less money if you look around online or buy them in person, and you may already have some stuff lying around the house already.

"After dought, bushfires, possums and then 5 weeks of continual rain during the flowering period last year, Mother Nature pretty well much beat me but I’m hoping I’ll get enough to last me until next season’s end this year with my girls only a few weeks from harvest with a mixture of Peyote WiFi, Peyote Gorilla from the Seedsman and Banana Kush and Aurora
Indica from MSNL grown in a full organic medium with Cyco Outback Series fertilizer and just PH water. The smell is absolutely mouthwatering."
~Supastiky
It looks like they're beating the odds...too much? Is it possible to beat the odds too ferociously? ~Sirius

"Hello. I am a newbie at growing and one of my plants is kinda odd looking. It is very short and strange looking. Any idea what it is doing? Thanks for your time."
~GW
That's a normal expression of foxtails; some plants just have this in their genes. In my experience, plants like this one have been great to smoke. ~Sirius
"My first greenhouse grow. Your site helped."
~fausbin2
Well done, especially for a first try and with free sunlight. 🏆 ~Sirius

"Growing cannabis can be a relaxing hobby in and of itself, but it also saves you money and keeps you from having to deal with shady characters. Cannabis is much easier to grow than people give it credit for, and growing in water doesn't increase the difficulty much, if any.
