Also, marijuana home growing techniques and knowledge have drastically developed since the days of complete prohibition, especially with more and more states now offering some type of marijuana growing previsions or, in some cases, “loopholes” if you will.

Restrictions may vary from a state to another, however, most states allow to grow up to 4-6 plants (which is more than enough for personal use, no matter how much you smoke).

With that said, this start up cost can be a financial burden for many of us, especially when it’s your first time and you’re a bit hesitant to spend money on something you know absolutely nothing about. Understandable! However, you can always get started on practically any budget. Keep in mind, many first time growers paid back their initial investment after the FIRST harvest. So calm down, you will be just fine.
