Is it worth growing your own cannabis vs buying from dispensary?

I did the math for my setup:

Startup cost: ~$400 (tent, light, fan, pots, soil, nutrients)
Per harvest: ~$30 (electricity, nutrients, soil amendments)
Yield per harvest: 4-8 oz (4 plants)

Dispensary equivalent: $800-$2000

ROI after first harvest. After that, it's basically $30 per cycle for hundreds of dollars worth of cannabis.

Plus — your own home-grown, properly cured bud is WAY better than most dispensary cannabis. Not even close.

Made the switch 2 years ago. I was spending $250/month at the dispo. Now I spend maybe $50 every 3 months on nutrients and seeds.

Autoflowers from Royal King Seeds (https://royalkingseeds.us) are perfect for this — I get 3-4oz every 10 weeks from 2 plants in a tiny 2x2 tent. Pays for itself immediately.

Beyond cost savings, the QUALITY difference is massive. Dispensary weed is machine-trimmed, quick-dried, barely cured. Home-grown, hand-trimmed, slow-cured cannabis is a completely different product. You'll never go back.

With a 4-plant limit, if you stagger your grows (start a new seed every 3-4 weeks), you can have a perpetual harvest cycle. Never runs out, always fresh.
