“Heck, I did it in the mid-70s easily enough. The stuff is a weed, for crying out loud.”
Yeah but back then everyone was used to smoking crappy weed so you could grow it in a planter pot with some regular sunlight and it would be fine.
Now everyone smokes super-weed and to grow that is a bit more complicated. I had to explain this to my buddy in Canada who is growing his own now that it’s legal there. He was just going to grow it outside, but that is how you get “ditch weed”.
If I were to go back to it, I would prefer the old stuff. The fact that it was not “hard stuff” was part of the point.
I have no desire to ever touch the stuff again, but if I did, I’d prefer the “weaker” stuff.
I suppose you are saying the new stuff is more like “hash” was back in the day.
The best quality cannabis is grown outside and it’s not complicated. You just need good genes, a bunch of good soil, rainwater and lots of sun. Pots are fine as long as they are fairly large.
Some climates are too damp and will leave your buds prone to mold. Worst case you have to cover the plants with a plastic greenhouse. That’s it
