If you have a yard you can always just grow a couple plants in some pots outside. It's not too late to get some autoflowers started outdoors. That would get you into growing without requiring a bunch of money. A couple pots, a couple bags of decent soil, a couple seeds, under $100. I have friends that only grow outdoors. All you pay for is some soil. They grow enough weed to keep them supplied for an entire year.
I don't get all the people saying it's difficult with a steep learning curve or that you need to spend $1000. Maybe some struggled to learn how to grow and maybe others spent a bunch of money but many others have success from their first grow and didn't spend more than the cost of some seeds and soil.
If you approach growing cannabis like it's a plant and ignore all the cannabis broscience it's easy. If you get caught up believing it requires a bunch of special products to grow you can end up going down a rabbit hole.
First thing is to realize that most of the cannabis specific product marketing claims are usually bullshit. And many people make growing cannabis harder than it is because they overcomplicate it and allowed themselves to get caught up in all the cannabis nonsense. Put a seed in some soil, give it water, watch it grow, harvest it when it's ready. It really is that simple and that's all many successful growers do.
