Your first cannabis grow won’t make you rich.

It might not even cover your smoking needs.

My first cannabis grow netted 33 grams of flower and 4 grams of concentrate, a fraction of the amount I consumed while growing it.

Your first grow is never your best grow.

Even the first run in a brand new, supersized commercial facility doesn’t make that business rich.

At best, it might recoup costs and even make a few dollars, but the team isn’t hanging up their hats and retiring on piles of green as far as the eye can see after one season.

Your first grow will show you the ropes, introduce you to new interests, and encourage personal development, but it won’t make you rich.

When setting up your first grow, focus on learning your environment, on getting to know the plant from seed to harvest, and, often, on keeping it simpler than someone with years of experience under their belt.

There is no secret formula: The only guaranteed path to success in cannabis is a personal relationship with this plant.

Growing cannabis is one of the best ways to develop that relationship.

Your first grow decides whether your relationship with cannabis includes the garden.
