Growing Isn’t an Impulse Buy

If you spend any time reading grow-related threads on Reddit, one thing becomes pretty clear: growing cannabis isn’t an impulse decision. At least not for people who stick with it longer than one run.

Newcomers often show up asking if they can just grab some seeds and “see what happens.” And the comments are usually honest. Growing takes time. It takes patience. And it takes a bit of planning before you even start.

You don’t just buy seeds and hope for the best. People talk about space, light, airflow, temperature, genetics, and whether they actually have the time to care for plants every day. Miss a step and the plant lets you know.

That’s why a lot of experienced growers describe growing as a commitment, not a purchase. It’s slow by design. You can’t rush it. And for many people, that slowness is exactly what makes it rewarding.

On Reddit, you often see growers say the same thing in different ways: if you’re looking for instant results, growing probably isn’t for you. But if you enjoy the process, learning, and watching something develop over time, it makes perfect sense.
