Why you should start growing your own cannabis with Homegrown Cannabis Co.
From saving money to countless other varieties to quality control, it pays off in many ways to make the step from smoker to breeder.
Pssh you. Yes, you, you big cannabis lover. We have an idea for you. Have you ever thought about growing your own? Before you buck up and show us your black thumb, listen to us. First of all, it’s not rocket science – it’s called grass for a reason! We understand it can seem mysterious, but we are passionate about inspiring things about cannabis, and that includes empowering you to be your own grower. Cultivation has come a long way since the days of limited access to seeds or quality instructional resources. Look no further than Homegrown Cannabis Co. for an excellent partner for every step of the journey.
Sure, you can get your seeds from Homegrown – and they have them all, from regular, feminized, autoflowering, high-CBD, and more – but they go way beyond a seed shop. The company prides itself on helping growers, from the extreme beginner to the seasoned professional, succeed in growing cannabis.

Homegrown understands that some of the key early factors preventing new breeders from starting the growing process or feeling safe are the failure of germination and the fact that many seeds are traditionally produced and shipped from Europe. Homegrown helps avoid these blockers by having a vertically integrated operation based in the US and offering resources like its seed germination guide.

It takes a village to start growing cannabis at home
The company draws talent from the best of the best, including a master class in indoor growing from legendary Kyle Kushman. Iconic Swami Chaitanya writes about the power of harnessing Mother Nature when growing outdoors. You can even get involved in advocacy projects by learning directly from Steve DeAngelo, entrepreneur, author, activist and founder of the Last Prisoner Project and Radio Free Cannabis.

Good for your bottom line
Do you need some persuasion to take the plunge into growing your own cannabis from home? Let’s talk about saving money. You can expect to pay anywhere from $ 200 to $ 400 for an ounce of runtz at a pharmacy. Seeds of the same strain, on the other hand, will cost you an average of $ 12.87, and you can expect each seed to grow around 18 ounces of weed. Grow six in a small indoor grow and you’ve just harvested over 100 ounces of weed. Homegrown places great emphasis on low-cost seed options. You can also browse their BOGO offers and get even cheaper seeds. Sure, you’ll have to invest in your facility (it can be easy, I promise), electricity, water, and some nutrients, but still – this discrepancy between store-bought pharmacies and home-grown ones is just insane.

Try a rainbow of varieties
Cost is just one of the reasons you should grow your own. It may surprise you that growing your own can be a fantastic way to try strains that aren’t even available at the pharmacy. Some will take years to find their way into retail stores while others are specifically designed for the home improvement specialist. Fantastic examples in the Homegrown Cannabis Co. collection include Baked Apple, Cold War Kush, Phantom Menace, and Caffeine Bomb. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it!
Big and responsible
It should also be emphasized that when you are in control of the cultivation you are also responsible for all quality control and knowing exactly what is going into your plants. In fact, a recent survey by Homegrown Cannabis Co. found that the most popular reason to grow from home – across cost and choice – is to want to know exactly what’s in your weed. When you’re in charge, you select all of the inputs, including organic nutrients, and can implement all of your own best practices. And if you need guidance on the go, Homegrown Cannabis Co. has tons of online resources to help you learn how to grow weed from Kyle Kushman and other experts.

Great new adventure
Aside from all of the practical reasons we’ve listed above, growing plants is just plain fun! Especially when it’s growing fast, smelling great, and getting you high. Don’t be surprised if homegrown becomes your latest obsession.
In addition to the benefits of cultivating your own garden, growing cannabis can be a great way to create a community with other growers. To help you connect with others, Homegrown has a number of robust forums where beginners and experienced gardeners alike can come together, talk shop, and share tips. Some of the specific forums include a beginner-only section, dedicated indoor and outdoor setups, aquaponics, soil construction, and medical use. You can even access live sessions to ask Kyle Kushman your own questions (and watch previous sessions). As Steve DeAngelo says, “The best cannabis is the cannabis you grow yourself.”
