growing can be about as easy or as hard as you want it to be

there are the basics that you gotts know.. light light schedule/life cycle stuff, and when to feed... it is extremely easy if you follow the basics

autoflowers i think are also a great idea.. like the new master low or power stout lowryder hybrids ... they have some master kush and skunk in them but they 100% autoflower like LR... this means they are not sensitive to the light cycle, can be planted anywhere, any light cycle, and no matter what produce smoke in 60 days... and they stay very small, you could even just grow one out on your desk, or a windowsill or something since they are only 12'' tall.... so they can be planted say on a city balcony where light pollution would have made a normal strain impossible or in the off season as a perpetual harvest, etc

id say if you are new and just want to grow a small amount without havin to learn about growing that much then get an autoflower... if you want to grow some of the legendary strains of fame then you want to get a regular old bagseed or a normal strain, and start learnin about cultivation
