Growing Your Own Stash?

I don't see how people grow their own stash since planting to smokable weed takes like 4 to 5 months at least. Correct me if I'm wrong but...
1-2 months of vegging
2 months of flowering
.5 to 1 month of drying/curing

I've read around to see how long weed lasts and some people say that weed isn't even good after like... a month. So do you just get a stash for like a month and then wait another 4? And people say they make their own stash off of like 2 plants so 2 plants with a 4 months of plant to harvest... I just don't get how anyone can get a personal stash without like 4-6 plants with a harvest cycle every month.

I've got 2 plants under a 400W HPS in one grow room so they'll be harvested and smoked at the same time and I thought that would be good for a personal stash. I'm thinking I was wrong.

You don't have to cure, you can dry for two weeks and then smoke that shit.
Also it won't go bad after a month. if you store it well it can last for months.

Alot of people use different rooms for Veg/Clones/Flowering. that way they harvest every month or so.

I think that the satisfaction alone from smoking your own grow is worth it, just my 2 cent

i think it depends man every strain is different and every room is different also. i heard of some ppl vegging for like 3 weeks and then flowering for a few more week then they harvest. i have also heard of ppl vegging for like 6 months or more b4 flowering. it really depends. also how much do you smoke? an ounce could last you a few months while someone else it could only last a day or less. like i said it all depends. i see a guy on youtube, he harvests every week and its actually pretty good looking stuff, hes got a bunch of plants but still he get it every week pretty cool i think

i agree with him

You've answered your own question really. It takes a while so we just have to grow more

you should be able to grow all you need with a 400, just stick 6 in 12-12 from seed each time,should be 10 1/2 to 12 weeks grow each time

Perpetual harvesting.
I plant one a month, an harvest one an month, 4 plants total,

Or you grow a big enough crop to last you tell next time.

I have 8 plants @ 6 weeks and 8 plants 6 weeks behind those in my flowering room constantly, I also have 16 to 20 clones 12 and 18 weeks behind those in the nursery, so I am able to harvest 6 plants every 6 weeks. I have one room that is humidity controlled where I hang and cure. It took about a year to get it into a smooth cycle. I have to use 3 seperate rooms in my house but the kids have been gone for years and I have a huge empty basement.

1 a month seems to be a reasonable amount.

well I don't have enough room or a budget for a separate room for vegging or flowering. I'm still a pretty new toker so I was thinking like maybe an ounce a month? but I started growing because the prices around here are amazingly ridiculous and the weed sucks and only some really shady people around here sell. Should I just let these 2 fem'd WW I have grow out until right before switching to 12/12, take 6-8 clones off of them (3 apiece or a bunch from the better looking one), then let the clones root under 12/12 and grow while the others are flowering? Would that work? or would the new clones try to prematurely flower and fuck up shit? idk... I really need my own stash and I HATE buying weed from local dealers...

build a computer ase veg box. Noone can say they don't have space to put a small computer case

You can store weed for a few years if you wish.
I got some buds stored for over 2 years now, still works great.

If you grow 2 plants with a single 400W you should veg for around 3 months in big pot (50L+) to get a good harvest using some topping and training techniques.
Then 1.5-4 months flowering depending on the strain and in 2 weeks you should have smokable stash. I pull around 350 grams out of a 400W if I don't do any seriously stupid mistake (like I've done lately) and thats quite a lot of buds.
Ounce a month? So a harvest would do you for a year or so. Sounds pretty reasonable for me.

I don't smoke an ounce a month. I got some friends who smoke twice that much but for newbie smokers smoking a gram a day usually means its crap.
I don't smoke much actually, around once a week (a bit more lately due to some migrane issues) and 0.1-0.2 a gram does the trick. (depending on which strain I choose)
Smoking a gram of brick weed would get me anywhere.
Its kind of funny seeing how people get whacked when I share my doobies smoking as if it was what they are used to. And I tell them its that strong before. Most of them aren't light tokers.


Good luck.

start your clones half way through vege and you will have smaller plants ready to flower every 4 weeks, once you grow a nice crop it will last for a while..
