I moved to Atlanta last year to escape the hell hole that is Florida. One problem, I can’t buy overpriced “medical” weed, which at this point I’m dying to have again. So, does anyone know anyone or a way for me to find some? This might not be the right place to post this but I’m at a loss. It’s not really fun facing hell world sober and drinking sucks and makes me fat :(

    It's really easy to grow your own, it'll take a few months to get something smokable tho

      LED growlights are dirt cheap and work for small grows.

      I finished my first indoor grow earlier this year and while it wasn't particularly difficult, I definitely wouldn't call it easy. The first four weeks and last two weeks were fairly hands-off, but the plants required daily attention in between (mostly training). A full set of growing equipment can also get pretty pricey, and from what I've seen you get out what you put in as far as yield and quality is concerned. The good thing is that every grow after your first will be significantly cheaper.

        Yeah it needs to be checked on, but it's usually just 5-10min/day unless there are problems. I did my first grow in a space bucket, definitely under $100 to get started and the yield was more than $100 worth. There's so many resources out there that I've found weed easier to grow than basically any fruit or vegetable I've ever grown

      I’ve always wanted to do this but I just don’t know where to start. I’m also not sure how my roommates would feel about it :/

        I started with some guides and resources from r*ddit, specifically r/spacebuckets and r/microgrowery. Now I think I would recommend starting with the guides from growweedeasy.com

        The general idea is pretty much just "germinate seed, give it 16+ hours of light per day (typically from an LED light board if you're just starting out) until it gets about half as big as you want it to be, then switch to giving it no more than 12 hours of light per day to make it start flowering, when it finishes flowering about 2-3 months later chop it down, let it dry a little, trim, and smoke"

        Roommates def complicated things though, it'll be difficult to hide from people who live with you.
