How hard is it to grow cannabis?

Comparatively speaking. How much harder is cannabis compared to other plants to grow?

Speaking out of my aerogarden, which isn't from much, pot's been harder to keep alive than the other plants. I grew everything the aerogarden kit came with before i moved onto pot, and everything grew just fine. Getting results like they advertise. Switching to cannabis and my own nutrients has shown a big difference in involvment and i'm still not get "perfect" results. Not bad results, but this obviously isn't something someone can take up without something backing them up. The only thing supporting me is endless amounts of time to research, a knack for learning things (not to toot my horn), and RIU, yet i can take a picture of my garden and you can see at the very least inconsistancy in color amongst foliage and so burnt spots.

So is cannabis harder to grow than most other plants? And if so, how much harder? Is there like a scale somewhere with grass being the easiest and a red wood being the hardest or something? Is it only any harder because i'm in hydro (cause i know hydro can be more involved depending on how involved you are on your soil grow)?
 
Im growing in soil and I consider my grow to be very very simplistic in nature. Some soil. A bottle of 8-15-8 neuts, some plain jane molasses and some normal tap water. Im in my second week of flowering on my first grow. I see my neighbors outside all the time tending to there tomato plants constantly. I tend my plant maybe once every 2 or 3 days. I dont think its all to difficult.
 
i think going hydro might play a small part. dirt is, in my opinion, a more ergonomic and simplistic way to grow, with results equal to or better then hydro growing (i know many will disagree), just maybe not as fast. if you have experience, hydro can be magic for some. but still others chose dirt for either taste, ease of growing organically, or other reasons.

i personally have never successfully grown even a simple flower before. my pot plants look pretty good. perhaps you just need to invest a little bit more money. not to be rude, but with 175 dollar equipment, expect 175 dollar results unless you're growing outside....
 
why do you think its nicknamed weed bro...ive seen the shit grow thrugh cracks in the concrete in jamaica
 
it's a lot easier than you probably think. the hard part is hiding it if you are doing an indoor grow. outdoor grow just pop it in the ground. just provide it with light, air, and nutrients or soil and you're on your way.
 
It's the aerogarden making it difficult. It's so small there's very little resevoir holding nutrients and so levels and ph will swing wildly. Pot draws more nutrients from the water than the other plants you had and the tablets aren't made for pot really are they? Do they have tables labeled tomato and have you tried them? (Not sure how the aerogarden stuff comes really)

It can be as easy as sticking a seed in the dirt and keeping it watered or as hard as you want to make it. You've made it harder.

Hell you can stick a clone in a pot of miracle grow cheap soil and only feed water it's entire life. Often they'll struggle with MG at first, heck you can almost count on it, but damn is it easy if you do exactly as other successful growers do. (NO I AM NOT SUGGESTING MG SOIL, just an example)

Work toward ditching the aerogarden, even if you want to continue hydro. Larger setups are so so much easier to maintain optimum growing conditions in.
 
If you wanna see an aerogarden grow done well, check out GypsyBush's growjournal. Its fuckin sweet. Not huge nugs, but the quality of them is what matters, n seriously man, those fuckin nugs are SAWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

Here, allow me to try n find a link to his journal for ya. If its the wrong link, just go use the search tool and type in GypsyBush, and click on his growjournal. Once sec:
