I don't see why you are totally not seeing my point here...
Any cannabis plant is easy to grow.. They are weeds and pretty hardy. I'm not talking about just planting them in your backyard and forgetting about them for 3 months.
Now if you bring those plants indoors and go soiless or full hydro and plan on getting more than the "seedbank minimum" you will probably find the photosensitive variety is more forgiving with nutrients and if you make a mistake you can just veg longer to make up your losses. You aren't locked into a 3 week veg period.
And I couldn't agree more. Technique-wise, I am not worthy. But what I consider worthwhile might be good enough after all.
I've been on this site just a few days, and it seems that the range of topics covers the most casual growers up to seasoned pros and beyond. The last time I tried growing was many years ago in college, and it didn't end happily. So when I come back to growing now — now that I'm legally growing my own medicine — I'm taking a relaxed, casual-hobbyist approach to it. I welcome all of the great information available from the knowledgeable posters at the same time knowing that I'm not going to take all their advice on board simultaneously.
So what I've done is applied my rather ordinary gardening skills, along with a forgiving climate, an average amount of low-tech loving care, and Amsterdam's finest auto genetics. And it worked! I {name redacted} have actually produced smokable (pretty good, actually) smoke. A landmark in time has been passed.
And that's the humble joy of the hobbyist grower. If I was Home Depot and I could sell "Potting Stations" for 149 bucks a crack to "hobbyist growers," I'd certainly be doing so.
