lollollololololol. Sorry, couldn't resist.

But seriously...when first starting out, it doesn't just take a "little effort", and it may just become "all consuming".
You'll need a plan of attack.
You'll need to read and retain shitloads of info.
You'll need to know the supplies and equipment you'll need, for the size grow you are planing on.
You'll need the means to get the right equipment and supplies.
You'll need a place to grow. (ie: your uptight parents attic is a bad place)
You'll need to learn the needs of the plant. (ph, lighting, ventilation, veg ferts, flowering ferts, micronutes...)
You'll need to learn to not tell anyone "about getting a small legit grow off the ground soon". Nobody but you should ever know. Regardless of how legit you think it is, feds can think differently.
You'll need to learn patience. There are some tricks to be learned along the way, but there are no shortcuts.
The search function at the top of the page works wonders.
