      I grow my own shrooms, too.

      Whatever you do, don’t inject the spores that bought from the spore traders subreddit into the myco bag you bought off amazon and leave it in the closet for a while. These annoying mushrroms grow, and they don’t taste great.

      Can you just grow it outside? In Germany we will be allowed to grow our own soon and I’m wondering whether I need at least a glass house or if a big pot (hehe) is enough. Are those plants Perennials?

        I’ve just fallen down that rabbit home in expectation of the legalization here in Germany. It you want I’ll send you my notes.

        The short of it: growing outdoors might be really difficult in Germany, as you have to make sure the plot isn’t visible to passers-by or your neighbors and their kids. At least that was how it was phrased before the new revision today.

        That being said, there are a number of strains that grow outdoors in Scandinavia. Professional Seed retailers like royal queen seeds have dedicated info pages and/or filters for that usually.

        Googling “grow cannabis outdoor cold climate” should set you off in the right direction.

        You can grow outside, but it depends on the climate. I’m from the US in a region that’s very well known for being great for growing bud outdoors.

        Try looking up outdoor growing for Germany, specifically in the area you live. Not only the weather, but the soil and amount of daylight/ night time they get matters too. During the first part of the grow, your plants need at least 16 hours of sunlight, and at the end during flowering you need as close to 12 hours sunlight and 12 hours dark as possible.

      Do you live somewhere where growing is legal? How did you get started? I’m interested in self growing but idk where to start, and where I live it’s not exactly allowed

        Yeah, where I live it’s legal to grow (with some restrictions) so I was able to just go to a dispensary to get clones. It won’t be quite as easy for you, but assuming you’re getting your weed from “a guy”, depending on your relationship with them you could start by asking them if they know any growers and if they could hook you up with clones or seeds.

        In terms to equipment, it really depends on how fancy you want to get with it. You can look up equipment guides online, but honestly I would start with just the bare minimum and see what you need as you go. You’ll develop your own growing style and find out what kind of tools you need to implement it; you don’t need every single tool available for growing.

        If you have any hydroponic stores in your area, chances are it’s ran by a bunch of stoners who know that 99% of people shopping there are growing weed. Stop by there and see what’s up; you can say you’re growing tomatoes if you don’t feel comfortable saying you’re growing weed
