Does growing your own pot affect interstate commerce?
While you're asking questions of others I've got one for you...
How does growing your own pot for personal consumption affect interstate commerce?
Commerce (the exchange or buying and selling of commodities on a large scale involving transportation from place to place) indicates a desire to exchange goods for money. If growing your own pot for personal consumption (which I notice you left off of your question) makes no money how can it be considered "commerce"?

And I'll answer your question while I'm at it.
As phrased the answer to your question is yes, growing your own pot affects interstate commerce. Your question leaves out "intent". One could grow their own pot for resale, which is exactly what some do.
Growing pot for personal consumption IMO doesn't affect interstate commerce. Your opinion and mine may differ though.

How about this? If you built your own garbage disposal for you to use, would that affect the interstate commerce of garbage disposals?
