Current Hobby Grow hunt: Quattro Kush x Grand Daddy Purp from the Quattro Kush Multipack by ETHOS Genetics (Hunting 4 females out of 5 regular seeds popped).

Like most hobby growers, I don’t have 100s of 1000s of sq. ft. to pop seeds until my heart’s content.

But, even with 3 tents or less — depending on what point in the journey we find ourselves — I’ve still hunted through a my share of seed packs.

You just have to anticipate the obstacles you face, and have a plan to overcome them.

The 7 Phenohunting Obstacles Small-Scale Hobby Growers Face (and the golden rule for overcoming them):

~~~

OBSTACLE #1. Time

If it’s a hobby, it’s not probably not your full time gig. You don’t have the luxury of spending all day in the grow; the time you do have has to be used efficiently.

OBSTACLE #2. Space

The name says it all: small-scale grower. You’re doing this on a small scale. You have a finite amount of space.

OBSTACLE #3. Money

Hobbies don’t make money (by definition). A Hobby Grow is a self-funded endeavor; Your operating budget is finite, and you have to get the most out of every dollar spent.

OBSTACLE #4. Supplies
