cost for growing for 1-3g a day smoker.
maybe around 200 bux for 3-4 harvests (3x3 space 600w hps)
with everything.
last grow? 15 bux. (electricity is paid with the rent, fixed amount, but still id pay less than i pay for my internet (double that pricetag actually)
growing my own and not having to deal with slimy people
priceless.
how much work do i do? to keep myself constantly supplied with fantastic mj?
about 5 minutes every other day.
took about 2 hours to build the cab and everything.
maybe a half hour job once a month (transplanting and stuff like that)
all in all, its basically like having houseplants, dont forget to water them and not too much, if ya can manage that, ya can manage aaa+ quality marijuana.
the risk?
dunno, i havent met a shady person in years, havent seen a legbreaker or thieves in years.
havent met anyone thats always looking over their shoulders, in years.
last time i met a cop, it was over this burglary in the building, aside from a short talk about it, he didnt give a fuck about me and i didnt give a fuck about him.
smell?
well a small grow doesnt really need any carbon filters, but i could get a carbon filter that would cover my grow for around 50 bucks, havent needed it though in the 5 years ive grown.
basically, most of the trouble (aside from freak accidents and weird stuff, (fucking rare))
comes from people
and usually because they are in all sorts of other trouble along with dealing.
buying from people?
well, salesmen usually become very quickly liars and easy money makes people lazy and careless.
both is a hassle to deal with.
i would have to be far gone up shit creek, bodily, before i ever had someone grow for me (well, unless it was the wife, but she would do it for free)
its ridiculously easy and cheap to grow your own marijuana.
if you arent a paraplegic or something similar, you are a fool for buying, thats a fact.
