even if ya didnt have the space for a bigger lamp (its mostly the fan noise)
ya could grow a bunch with fluo´s, enough to save ya some serious cash (and plenty smoke, though perhaps not totally sufficient depending on you)
even if it only were a bunch of cfls in a square foot somewhere and 20grams of bud every 2 months, thats 20 grams of good smoke.
thats actually quite alot to someone thats "poor" and is buying (or poor enough so cant buy..)
so, like i say, its SO MUCH EASIER AND CHEAPER than lots of folks think
and on growing it?
its a weed
(they grow pretty much whatever you do
) (course to get the most from it, needs tlc, but thats just a few grows and experience away (that is if ya have never cared for even a houseplant and if ya have, you can grow weed now with ease and wont even need the 2-3 customery learning grows)
) (no access to grow info at the time (though only 5 years back, i simply did not know there were cannabis forums,so yeah, it was absolute total crap
