Maybe I’m a Lone Ranger, but I just started this hobby because of the challenge. Didn’t on a whim. 4 weeks ago I never even thought about it and found myself with 4 seedlings from a friend.
Same day I got the plants in order a 4x4 smart tent, seed starter, meters, everything. Now I’m looking at getting a cloner.
The kicker is, I don’t partake in cannabis. In doing it for the fun and the challenge.
Maybe my friends will be happy?
Anyone else I. This situation?
Quite a few grow for family, friends, charitable donation, but do not partake.
I vape. Does that count 
Mostly the same. Grow for the wife and make edibles. She vapes dry flower a little too.
I have tried it but find it makes my pain more noticeable so I don’t use much except to test new strains to see if they help me at all.
You will find every type of grower here.
Yeah, I e only been a part of this community for a very short period and have found it very helpful.
I have learned everything I needed to know right here. Went from growing a couple ounces to over a pound from 2 plants. Read up as much as you can. Use the search feature to look up answers or just ask. We all love to answer questions.
Welcome to the community Stick around.
I loved this question, I grow infrequently, but in larger amounts than I need. I give the majority away.
Most of what I keep goes into honey, not big on inhaling.
I grow for the family… once the plant is finished dried and cured I take two hits just to see how good it is. I haven’t smoked more than 2 grams in 35 years.
I’m always open to make new friends lol.
My family keeps asking me what am I going to do with it IF I’m successful…. My answer? I still have no idea.
It seemed interesting to me and a challenge, I needed a new hobby. It’s a bit more involved than I expected but enjoying the journey.
A few days into week 1 of flower.
I grow only to have enough to infuse into coconut oil. I use that at night for sleep because z-quil, melatonin or anything else doesn’t help
I soak a teaspoon full over a small piece of bread just before bedtime. Knocks me out big time and I sleep hard throughout the night. Otherwise I’ll be wide awake after 3 or 4 hours.
I have a friend that enjoys my extra. I never sell any.
I grow a little for my wife and myself but the other 95% I grow for family and friends.
It’s all good. Love growing
Non smoker…just a hobbyist I guess. Friends and family enjoy it makes great Xmas gifts🤙🏿
Unfortunately. I had to quit smoking in the middle 80’s due to drug testing for commercial drivers licensing. Then from one government job to the next that all had drug testing. Couldn’t take a chance of losing my job and putting my family (and all we had acquired) in jeopardy. Can’t hardly explain how I have missed it. It’s crazy to think it went from every day to zilch for over 35 years. Getting close to retirement now so planning to start my grow soon. Last month I’ve been spending like a sailor on leave. 4X4 Tent, complete custom recirculating deep water culture system, and all the rest I’ve come to the conclusion will be needed to keep everything top notch. And, yes I used to grow outdoors but this will be my first indoor grow as well as hydroponic grow. Nothing like jumping in feet first in the deep end of the pool.
So yes, not a smoker, Yet. lol
Not a user. Grow for wife. She smokes more than i can grow at times. She shares a lot.
@VBGrower your plants look awesome…
Hoping i can do anywhere near that good.
Way
Thanks! They turned out ok for a first grow. Guessing I got about 1 lb total, maybe a little more.
Learned from a few mistakes I made early and a few PH challenges, high ppm for the first 6 weeks, and lack of proper defoliation/ lollipoping, I could have done a bit better. But increasingly could have done much worse. I ended up with a lot of popcorn buds that went into the trim pile (over 6oz) that is now coconut oil.
@Lostgirl helped me salvage the grow and figured out the ppm & PH problems. Once tat was under control and I was able to start feeding things picked up. Unfortunately I lost about 8 weeks fiddling around. But in the end it was a good experience.
It was all a learning experience and I’m sure I jacked the trimming process somewhat too but heh, without her support I would have 0oz.
Now I know
A bit smaller than expected but I also topped a few times. The clones were a little suck when I got them so I was behind the eight ball 
to start.
Outstanding. Im 25 days into my first grow in the last 40 years. Took a job 40 years ago that drug testing & couple more since then. So im in the same boat with maybe more leaking holes (R-DWC) to plug. I’ll get through it the best i can…
Just wanted to give you kudos on a great looking end crop.
