Episode Description from the Publisher

Grow Guides are back! After a break from the series, we're returning with Grow Guides Season 3, and this time we're going right back to basics. Over the next 50 episodes, we're going to take you through the process of growing cannabis step by step, covering everything from planning your first grow and choosing your equipment right through to harvesting, drying, curing and beyond. And where better to start than with the question every new grower should ask before buying a single seed or piece of equipment: what exactly do you want from your grow? In Episode 1: Planning Your First Cannabis Grow, we look at all the things you need to think about before getting started. How much cannabis do you actually need to grow? How do you work backwards from your desired amount to work out how many plants you might need? How much space do you have available, and how does that affect the size and number of plants you can grow? We also get into the budget. What sort of money do you realistically need to get started, where should you spend your money, and where can you save? There's no point designing the grow of your dreams if the equipment costs more than the car! Then there's time. Growing cannabis isn't just about putting a seed in some soil and waiting for the harvest. How much time do you actually have available to look after your plants, and how should that influence the type of grow you plan? And before we get too carried away, we talk about legality and privacy. Understanding the laws where you live should be one of the first things you consider before starting any grow, along with thinking about who knows about it and how you're going to keep your setup secure and private. We'll also discuss expectations, planning around your available space and resources, and why taking a little time to plan your first grow can save you a lot of money, stress and disappointment later on. This is the beginning of a brand-new 50-episode Grow Guides journey, designed to take a new grower from having absolutely no idea where to start through the entire process, one step at a time. So before you buy the seeds, switch on the lights or start filling pots, let's make a plan. 🌱 Grow Guides Season 2 starts here! 🌐 Website: High on Home Grown 💬 Discord: Join the High on Home Grown Discord ▶️ YouTube: High on Home Grown on YouTube
