I've been using cannabis for years now but hadnā??t really given much thought to growing it until I was watching the local news and saw police carrying out plants from a house within walking distance from mine.

Until that point I hadnā??t thought of marijuana as a "plant" just a fan leaf you could slap on a t-shirt or dried crap in a baggie that you are always assured is "good shit."

But soon I started to read up on growing for personal use. I found the site Overgrow.com in the last few days before they were raided. I also have been busy reading internet guides as well as full videos on the subject which I found on limewire. I've done my homework.

Towards the begging my attitude was "What a great idea!, I'll save money and have fun growing what is sure to be better shit than what a dealer will sell me."

But the more I know, the more in-doubt about that I am. I have a few issues.

Most grow guides spend precious little time on basics growing and quickly dive into complex and expensive advanced set-ups which take up half the house and involve knowledge I havenā??t had since 10th grade chemistry.

Some of the most complete resources, I find, originate in the Netherlands. However, these guides always skimp on something very important to me: security. With many resources telling me that the cops will investigate my credit purchases, run heat-scans on my house, and log my electricity usage I need some clarity. (I live in the United States)

What Iā??m trying to say is the all of these growing resources seem to be written in a perspective distant from mine. And since I donā??t know any growers (to my knowledge) I want to hear from ordinary people.

Some specifics:

-What exactly is the cost of growing? Is it cheaper than buying reefer on a fairly regular basis?

-What about electric costs? Iā??ve heard some outlandish figures.

-Reassure/ give me tips on security.

-Do I really need such advanced set-ups?

I greatly appreciate this.
