Seeds of the same cultivar, on the other hand, will cost you an average of $12.87, and you can expect that each seed will grow approximately 18 ounces of weed. Grow six in a small indoor grow and you\u2019ve just yielded over 100 ounces of weed. Homegrown has a big focus on inexpensive seed options. Plus, you can peruse their <a href=\"https:\/\/homegrowncannabisco.com\/cheap-cannabis-seeds?utm_source=leafly&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=smoker_to_grower\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">BOGO offers<\/a> and score seeds for even cheaper. Sure, you\u2019ll need to invest in your setup (it can be simple, we promise), electricity, water, and some nutrients, but still\u2014that discrepancy between dispensary bought and home grown is nothing short of mind-boggling.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"607\" alt=\"Homegrown Cannabis Co.\" class=\"wp-image-189506 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/why-you-should-start-growing-your-own-cannabis-with-homegrown-cannabis-co-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/why-you-should-start-growing-your-own-cannabis-with-homegrown-cannabis-co-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/why-you-should-start-growing-your-own-cannabis-with-homegrown-cannabis-co-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/why-you-should-start-growing-your-own-cannabis-with-homegrown-cannabis-co-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>Kyle Kushman with a bud cultivated at the Homegrown Garden.

In fact, a recent Homegrown Cannabis Co. survey revealed that the most popular reason people grow from home\u2014above cost and choice\u2014is a desire to know exactly what\u2019s in your weed. When you\u2019re the boss, you choose all the inputs, including organic nutrients, and you get to implement all your own best practices.
