But you see the thing is ... 'advanced' methods for growing. Growing is simple in principle, and practice, albight like everything else there is a knack to it. Even breeders keep things simple, use natures rules of biology and diversity. Ie imagine growing a kush with a cheese, you get a kush/cheese offspring, albight some experimentation or backbreeding may be required in order to get the attributes of each that is desired.
By advanced the closest thing I can think of is using different techniques - all of which revolve around the principle of making existing light more efficient, such as screen of green.
Huge amounts of people work really hard to spend unnecessary money, or try unnecessary tricks and complicated roundabout ways of doing something that is damn well near automatic. Give the plant the basics, practice, experience, learn to read/understand the processes involved and voila. Same with breeders.
If you want really advanced, you could find some genetic engineers to inject cells into a strain so that it takes like banana milkshake or coffee. But to me that would be blasphemy.
Growing weed is NOT difficult, WE make it difficult in most cases.
PS: One of my pet hates with cannabis related forums is everyone wants the results and know-how, but only the minority seem to take it upon themselves to learn and understand the biology, what and why, the basics. If you're sitting doing nothing, you have an internet connection, spend some hours doing homework and investing in yourself. You'll never understand how or why weed grows if you rely on begging others for answers. Don't just focus on weed either, focus on all plants and foliage. While thats boring as shit for most people, when you start realising how its all linked and the common attributes, you can use that information to your benefit - and suddenly boring shit becomes very interesting.
We should be learning to harness and promote nature, not trying to redefine its rules. Nature will win, every single time, and rightly so.
I believe it was Gandhi that said... live as though you were to die tomorrow, but learn as though you would live forever.
Got the same stance. I'm a nice guy, not some badass scumbag, growing weed is illegal through legislation - not in morality or principle. If I'm branded a criminal for growing to benefit my life (and my ability to deal with it), so be it, but that doesn't make me a criminal, and I refuse to be branded one by politicians who steal, lie, corrupt, fuck hookers and claim to know better.
I'm not a rasta (not cool enough), but Jah Bless regardless
