imo, you need to have a certain kind of, hmm, what is the word here.. character i guess fits the bill, to be a grower.. you can't be the nervous nelly type of person who's going to jump up every time they see a cop car drive down the street if they're growing..
growing honestly is not for everyone imvho.. to be able to sit back with a room full of flowering, stinky pot plants takes a bit of nerve, medical or not imo as mmj is still illegal on the federal level and even though most mmj growers don't like to admit it, they're breaking the same laws someone without a card is breaking by growing..
ordering things online is pretty much the only way to get certain things for a lot of people if you don't live in say cali or another mmj state, good luck finding clones, so you're pretty much forced to buy seeds online.. then you need the rest of the equipment.. lights, fans, carbon fliters, etc, etc, etc, can all be purchased online if you live out in the middle of nowhere, what other choice do you really have?
i lol'ed at the person who said their recommendations on amazon is all grow stuff as mine is exactly the same way.. who cares is what i'm saying over here.
