just a fun thread to see what it is that's so great about growing marijuana.
here one to get it started:

1. it teaches patience. i dunno about any1 else but i check my plants out like four times a day and they don't grow much in between checks so i gotta be really patient to wait 5months before i see any buds with the knowledge that they might all be males anyway

any1 else?

I was fed up with paying such high prices and the weights always being way under and the weed ranging from nice to shit.
Also the unreliability of every1 involved when it came to picking up.
Being caught a few times by the police, but here in the UK they usually just tell you off, esp if it they catch u just before you pick up so you have no weed on u.
The danger of some weed bought. Here in the UK there was loads of weed deliberately contaminated with small glass beads to add weight. These were really dangerous as they can enter the alveoli in the lungs.

My bud now is nicer, more reliable, and much much safer

well, if you can take clones you can test flower one per plant to check the sex;) you don't have to wait 5 month for that truth:lol:

but in general why i grow:
-want perfect weed which is not messed with, perfectly grown, harvested, dried and cured
-hate to see some pimpled fake to make a buck on me selling me shit and sanded weed
-hate to pay the check for organised crime and terrorists which finance themselves your consumption
-and went long enough the ways corruped politions wanted me to walk, time to outgrow them!:mad:
-and to save a buck too, home grown weed is better, and cost me less as long i'm not caught growing it:spew:

!!!time to fully leagalize cannabis!!!:peace:

Yea, like Bloodshot said, WHY NOT?

I've had hobbies, and ways to past the time peacefully, but next to smoking pot, nothing compares to growing it.
It is like painting a wall or mowing a lawn, and being able to look back and say "See what I did" !!!!
Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment!
AND IT DOES TEACH PATIENCE! If you don't have PATIENCE, YOU CAN NOT BE A SUCCESSFUL GROWER.

There are all kinds of reasons NOT to grow. one being getting thrown in The Box.
but i guess thats the risk you run.
Growing has all kinds of advantages besides the money saved. i enjoy it most because of the dedication you put into it. the constant diligence and hard work that eventually pays off. plus u dont gotta deal with some two bit kid whose high on smoke and Hip Hop and thinks he's 50cent. the other minor bonus is the weed...ofcourse! :joint:

If you regularly smoke....you run the risk of gettin "thrown in the box" that way too.

You may as well grow your own and limit your risk to being found out....as opposed to risking getting busted everytime you go cop more bud. IMO of course.

Exactly, if u keep it small and quiet who will know? My close friends don't even know that I grow. Saves $$$ and hassle. Plus it's fun and you get a sense of accomplishment.

haha, i know exactly how u feel dude but learn from my mistake: i really feel like telling my mates when im drunk and one day i just went 'fuck it, i'll tell this guy' and i told him n he was pretty stoked (maybe a bit jelous) and u know what? straight after i told him i regretted it; not because i might get caught but because it was more fun when its just my secret. it feels better when no1 else knows. telling people is over-ratted to the max. now i'm just gonna tell my mate that it died cuz i liked it better when no1 knew.
peace

i thought of another reason why to grow... although we use all these methods to try get rid of the smell or get a bit worried about what are neighbour will think of a smelly green haze wafting from the back shed... lets face it; it smells fucking awesome!

heres to the smell of bud! wooohooo

I believe that there is a certain level to reach in terms of yield in order to make it cheaper, with all the equipment and lighting and everything, if you average out the costs, you have to grow yourself a few plants and make the most of the lights you are using, like theres no point growing 2 plants under a 600w hps, I dont think in the long run you are really going to save yourself some money.

For me its knowing everything about the weed your smoking, knowing that there isnt any unwanted additives
