It's a plant that grows in the ground, it'll get about as corporatized as tomatoes. Meaning people will try, but they can't really stop you from growing legal plants in your garden.
Tobacco Industry: "Am I a joke to you?"
I am confused, tobacco is legal to grow for your own use.
It is but it doesn't stop a massive corporate industry from growing around it as the original comment implied would happen with cannabis.
I now see the angle you were taking in your comment.
I read it as no one can stop you from growing it,
And I believe you are saying corpos will mass commercialize it just.like tobacco.
Thanks!
Ah I see the confusion. I went back and edited my comment to hopefully make it more clear.
Not in Australia! You'll get a bigger fine for growing tobacco than cannabis. Reason: the government is losing taxes on the tobacco.
Australia is a failed police state
It's really easy to grow great weed in your closet, if you're not worried about getting busted it gets even easier and cheaper not having to go as hardcore on smell and security
Got a cheap LED board: 75
Got 4 bottles of nutrients that last me ~4 harvests: 75
Fabric pots: 15
Coco Coir (reusable and lasts a long ass time), enough for 20 pots: 30
Seeds: depends on your guy
So long as you water and react properly to any nutrient issues you encounter you'll get something better than a dispensary will sell you 9/10, and if you were to sell your plants proceeds for bottom-shelf prices you'd still make your money back with profit
I FIM train and use a basic water/nutrient schedule and a timer to control my lights, get almost an oz a plant of absolute quality green damn near every time. I must emphasize, too: I'm a fucking idiot who barely knows what he's doing, my brother is insane and gets RESULTS
How long does it take for it to grow? I want to get into it, I just want to make sure I can grow enough to supply my demands without having to wait on it to grow.
From seed to harvest it's about 90 days, if you get an autoflowering Type it'll likely tell you exactly how many days
From harvest to trim I do about a day, then 3 weeks to a month of drying, and then a month in a jar to stew before it's "ready to go"
4-5 months depending on how hardcore you do the after-harvest stuff, basically. I keep 2 sets in rotation, when one goes to flower I plant another, basically
