This is one of the main reasons I grow. I aim to have enough where I can smoke as much as I want (which can add up not to try and brag but some days if im hanging at home I can burn through an ounce or more easy smoking king size joints, which I pack almost as tight as I can so they burn slower... and that just burns through weed like crazy some days) But mainly its gotten the relationship between me and mom so much closer, we used to never talk, and then we started smoking every day, and its just been a blessing but sounds strange... She had hid it through my teens and stuff but after my early 20s it was better for me to supply her than her trying to get it. Id much rather have her save all that money (shes sacrificed way too much my whole life, definitely the least I can do, wish I had a bunch of cash to give her but hey...it will have to do.) Also a major reason for growing organically, mainly taste smell and general appreciation of the flower, then ease of growth and maintenance... But a huge benefit is knowing what goes into my weed well before day one, way back years when Im making my composts and stuff. Then Ive got other family that smokes and appreciate marijuana as much as anyone else I know, so I love dropping a pound in their lap out the blue.I cut off my lower 40% or so a while back and then have trimmed up and defoliated the entire flower. The idea being 1)Airflow 2) extra light 3) get ALL the plant energy going to the bigger stuff and minimize popcorn.
I have a few buddies who grow, its fun to trade and compare especially if doing the same strains. It also doesn't hurt when friends or family go dry and I can hook them up with oz's for free cause I have more than I can smoke in years after a good harvest
I've had friends I still see regularly to this day that I've known since middle school and highschool, and back when I was growing up they had smoked me up many of times before school and stuff, so I love having enough to smoke them up or give them whatever/as much and as often as needed,
Thats literally what goes through my head when deciding how much to grow, it has to be enough to supply all that, until the next harvest, whether thats indoors or outdoors or whatevers in the works. But definitely one of my favorite things about growing is being able to do that for people... and really not in like a way to "be that dude" or the connect or any bullshit like that.... These are friends and family I love, and if I can supply them with the best, most effective weed they can find, for free, and are able to save money instead of buying it... Then thats my sole goal..(after ensuring there is enough to supply myself, so I can continue to supply others) for the people who know me, know Im indebted to them and just want whats best for them.
Sorry for the personal ramble of random bs I forgot what my main point was in all of this, but what you said just struck home and wanted to point out some motivations for why I grow. Cheers all
