The Highs of Home-Growing Cannabis

Growing cannabis at home has gained significant popularity, providing enthusiasts with control over their product’s quality and reducing costs in the long run. Nearly half of home growers (49%) turn to the internet for guidance, while the rest lean on friends, family, or their own green thumbs. Seeds are slightly more popular than clones, with 44% opting for seeds and 13% for clones—but 40% of adventurous growers use both.

Most growers (72%) stick to the tried-and-true soil or compost method, proving that sometimes, you just can’t beat the classics. When it comes to stocking up on supplies, 59% head to their local hardware or garden store, while others take the high-tech route, ordering from online cannabis cultivation shops (32%).

Despite the love for DIY, many are keen on automation—74% would likely use an automated system to take the guesswork out of growing. But it’s not all smooth sailing; pests (37%) and producing top-quality buds (29%) remain the biggest headaches. Still, the community thrives, fueled by the challenge and the ultimate reward: a homegrown stash that’s truly your own.
