    Damn, I didn’t realize how lucky I am that I can throw a few plants in the ground outside and grow enough weed for the year without too much issue.

    (It’s -21C here right now in case anyone thinks I’m in some tropical climate.)

      Eh, I wouldn’t go that far. At least in my climate you’ll want to grow in a tent if you want enough to share with buddies. But it’s way more fun to grow than to find a reliable dude with good quality herb. Even my first, shitty harvest was way better than what I bought before. Except for that one time in Amsterdam, when I flew though outer space and back. Oh my god, I still think of that weed.

        Of course this depends on your electricity cost and how well your grow is going, but it’s very feasible to get below 1€/g even with artificial lighting. Depending on what you would pay otherwise, you can recoup the initial investment for equipment with the first grow.

          Yes electricity was a big hit in the money sack, but the initial cost was pretty high as well. But I’m growing for fun, friends and pleasure. It’s a hobby 💖

    I live in Maine and can get pretty close to the ~$80 an ounce stuff myself, but the price of weed is so crazy cheap and the quality is so high I can’t come close to the $120/oz stuff and wouldn’t dream of producing the $160+ stuff. I figure I make good enough money to let somebody else deal with the stress of growing and all the labor of trimming. And I’ve been growing on and off for a decade now, I just don’t have the time and dedication to grow that super potent stuff. Plus then you half half a pound of the same strain, and it gets old.

    Very few home growers get the quality of personals these days. It’s not even close in the states.

    And it’s not that much cheaper, especially 35%+. I can pick up a years worth for like $600.
