ohh i think i get it - natural ground cover is better
your friend sounds awesome lol, it sucks it’s not potent growing wild, i actually only tried weed for the first time a few months ago, my first thought was growing it myself (cuz weed is expensive) but the most i’ve looked into was to see that growing it has a lot of dumb legal regulations, and it would probably not be easy to grow it where i currently live without being caught eventually (would totally do it if my apartment were bigger tho)
Yeah growing it is actually pretty expensive because you typically can’t just place it in a window or something, so you need grow lights, a way to keep it hydrated, and a huge time investment to care for it. My husband looked into it, and in my state you need to basically grow it in a separately locked room.
luckily the time investment isn’t really an issue for me atm, i’m agoraphobic and a stay-at-home partner, i have a lot of time on my hands and i’ve always wanted a garden! lol
do you know if it’s still expensive after the initial purchases of the lights and stuff? cuz other than space issues atm that would be my biggest limitation. since i’m agoraphobic i don’t really get out much and my personal income is usually really limited, and my bf works regularly but he’s not exactly wealthy lol. and same, in my state it can’t be in view of public and you can’t grow it if you live within 25 miles of a dispensary (which we do). i wouldn’t really care about the regulations if i had space/money for it, though. my rule of thumb with stuff like this is that it’s only illegal if i get caught! lol (for legal reasons this is a joke)
My understanding from my friend is that most of the expenses after the initial setup are from the increased electric bill, but I think it’s not as bad as it used to be since LED grow lights have become more common.

We want to move asap (for unrelated reasons), will keep it mind, thanks! :)
im totally gonna grow my own weed one day
Look into “space buckets”. There are guides in the old place and likely elsewhere on the web.
Space efficient homegrowing :)
thanks, i had never heard of that but found a buncha info really quickly by just searching for space buckets!
including guides specifically for growing weed in them lol
thanks!
Happy to help. Good luck!
Best wishes to you! I hope it goes well (both the weed and the move)
Wish you the best too! 🩷
