    luckily the time investment isn’t really an issue for me atm, i’m agoraphobic and a stay-at-home partner, i have a lot of time on my hands and i’ve always wanted a garden! lol

    do you know if it’s still expensive after the initial purchases of the lights and stuff? cuz other than space issues atm that would be my biggest limitation. since i’m agoraphobic i don’t really get out much and my personal income is usually really limited, and my bf works regularly but he’s not exactly wealthy lol. and same, in my state it can’t be in view of public and you can’t grow it if you live within 25 miles of a dispensary (which we do). i wouldn’t really care about the regulations if i had space/money for it, though. my rule of thumb with stuff like this is that it’s only illegal if i get caught! lol (for legal reasons this is a joke)

      My understanding from my friend is that most of the expenses after the initial setup are from the increased electric bill, but I think it’s not as bad as it used to be since LED grow lights have become more common.

          Look into “space buckets”. There are guides in the old place and likely elsewhere on the web.

          Space efficient homegrowing :)
