but to answer this question polietly now, pot is a weed.
it has great properties that we all love, but its still a weed. weeds grow really easily when all the proper conditions for growth are met. Proper conditions can easily be achieved with most any grow setup so you need to pick one that best suits your own needs based on what you would like your garden to do. ex, make a big crop, make connoisseur quality buds, fit in a small space with specific requirements, or even be a stealth grow.
there is no perfect way, just a perfect way for you and your weed.
