Fairly new grower Rick joins me from his home in Michigan where he’s eager to share his learnings from a few years of growing for himself. After learning how important and versatile cannabis is, Rick converted into a cannabis consumer, grower, and advocate. Rick takes the time to share advice on what it’s like starting from bag seed and building into a successful grow while staying within a budget. We also get into his plant training tips, and a solid discussion on photoperiod versus autoflowers and why one is more suited to beginner growers. Sometimes taking on a new task, like growing cannabis, can be daunting because you want to be the best that you can be at it, naturally. When learning about growing, you see these fancy setups that cost a lot of money and you get intimidated. Well, Rick is here to tell you that the fancy equipment is not that important to growing quality cannabis. Sure it helps, but you can grow quality cannabis while staying under your budget, no matter what it is.
