why is it so difficult to grow without any issues as its only a weed

Alrighty lets talk about it....my weed i grew back in the 70s as a teen hiding from my parents was shit. I did'nt know i smoke the leaf. The weed we bought came from TJ Mexico. It got us high but not like the THC strains today. It is to me far more potent. I love that we know how to breed females and not wait to sex out males. Yes the indoor grow environment has become like the Iphone for apple. Lights, tents or grow spaces are now highly thought about by growers that want to produce top shelf bud for themselves at home. I just told off this dispensary in town about how they can stuff they $20 grams up their asses.
 
I’ve never been to a dispensary but my cousin brought back some gummy bears that were really good. I could pay for them bc I have no idea how to make them myself but they can suck eggs with their $400 a oz bud
 
Making gummies isn't super hard, I've done it a few times. Leafly and Wake And Bake have recipes...but I found that I have to use a lot more gelatin than they recommend.
 
Yeah I haven't been to a dispensary for a while now and I don't miss those prices one bit SoOrbudgal . I was getting an oz for $115 so it wasn't too bad, but still pricey. The bud was on the sale shelf but at least it was good quality, most of the time. I actually got seeds from some of the bags, lucky me.

​​​​​For gummies bboyfromwayback you should look at the recipe on GWE. They're really easy to make and for the cost of about 2 from the dispensary, you can make double, almost triple on the first run (if you do a double batch). Another bonus is you use your own buds/trim (I use my trim) to make RSO, which can be mixed into just about anything edible. Matter of fact I need more 4²0 Extractor (Colorado made version of Everclear) to make more. That just reminded me 😂 Also, the potency of my gummies is way higher (pun intended) than the ones there. Oh, and you can get fun molds for them. I have pot leaves I found for mine and each batch is about 1 2/3 of a mold (14 gummies). Definitely worth looking into. The RSO is a bit of a pain, but I usually make my first gummies with what's left in the skillet, that way I don't waste anything.

Lew I have also been smoking since the 60s; I remember some awesome hash from my high school days--I can still remember its aroma--but I didn't ever get my hands on the good weed back then.

I've been growing hydro for four years, and it's the most goddamned fun I've had in a long time. I'm delighted with all the new technology and the fact that I can buy cup-winning proven strains online. Like we used to say back in Lawrence, KS in the 70s, ya can't beat that with a stick.
 
Thanks for the info! I should’ve knows GWE would have edible recipes. That may be the one thing I haven’t looked at on here.
 
There definitely a learning curve for me but your right. It is a shit ton of fun. I love coming home and checking on my gardens.
Side note when I was stationed at Fort Riley we would go party in Lawrence KS all the time.
 
BEcause everybody treats cannabis as a single plant when why’re actually thousands of different species with different needs, grow rates , structures, timings etc. They are like weeds in the sense that they’re hard to kill but why’re like tomatoes in the sense that they need a lot of effort to make them produce a high yield and high quality.
 
Good analogy with the tomatoes. First time I tried growing them they kept getting bottom rot before turning ripe. After some research and guess what, nutes! We grow excellent tomatoes and haven’t paid for salsa or marinara sauce in years.!
 
thats awesome, i want to be able to grow my own tomatoes too, theyre the only and best vegetable to grow yourself, unlike any other fruit, the tomato's flavor is made from a combination of several chemicals, commercial grown are harvested before they ripe, so they cut off resources right when theyre most needed to create flavors, a tomato that you leave on the vine right until theyre ready is way more flavorful for that exact reason
 
Way tastier! The tomatoes are my wife’s thing and she does them well! She handles the food and I handle the buzz 😉
 
Correctamundo. Thing is, you look at places where it has naturally thrived and produced fantastic Cannabis, and those places have had (up till global warming) the best soil and weather conditions for our beloved plant.
