Read Before: Buying Books on How to Grow Weed

There is a lot to consider when entering the world of marijuana cultivation. You might think, "Growing weed is easy. I mean, it's a weed. It is in the name". Growing marijuana doesn't have to be difficult, but perfecting it and getting a good crop size can be difficult.

This article will cover both indoor and outdoor growing. There will be books for advanced growers, as well as beginners. I will even include a free ebook at the end. As I stated, cannabis cultivation can be super hard but follow the steps, and it will make life easier.

Good luck

Starting a cannabis garden can be super fun and super rewarding. I tend a garden at home, not with marijuana plants, but with other herbs, chilies, peppers, and so on. Unfortunately, local laws don't allow me to plant whatever I want.

My point is that growing marijuana (or other stuff) can be just as relaxing and chill as smoking. Greg Green knows this. Ed Rosenthal knows this, and I know this. Everyone's gardening practices are different, but we all do it because we like it.

Medical Marijuana users might want to connect more with the plant that is healing them. Recreational users might want to be able to say, "This is my very own all-natural marijuana".

If you're on a budget, I recommend checking out this guide by RoyalQueenSeeds on how to save money, with both indoors and outdoors growing.
