yes this thread is interesting and there's defiantly a good point in it to be made. I haven't done much posting on here since I got help with my first grow and accidentally completely fuck'd up my little 4 plant AG grow by going quick and thinking stupid but I learned from it defiantly bc I know growing is something I'm going to continue to do but had it been a one time thing defiantly wouldn't have been worth it. since I'm going to continue to grow this actually helped me bc I learned somethings "knowledge is most important thing in growing in my opinion" and I don't have to buy a few things for future. so definitively I would say if its not something ur going to have interest, time, money, and heart for I would just grow a couple plants outside in the summer and u will probably be happy. word of the wise though I wouldn't start a indoor operation without at least 2-3 months of reading and researching all of the options and techniques u have to choose from and all ur equipment if its a first grow on 3 or 4 plants. bc if u know what ur doing 3 plants well taken care of can produce a nice outcome plus clones give'n 1 out of the 3 plants is a female and u cloned so u know u have 3 females
