How to Grow Weed on a Budget: Thrifty Tips for Indoor and Outdoor Gardens



You've probably heard that growing your own weed can be a pricey endeavor, but fear not. With a little creativity, know-how, and determination, you can grow some green without spending too much green.

So, whether you have an indoor setup or a sprawling outdoor garden, we’ve got some nuggets of wisdom for you. Our fellow growers have shared with us their tried-and-tested tips for growing weed indoors and outdoors on a budget.

How Much Does It Cost to Grow Weed?

Before we dive into all the tips and tricks for growing cannabis on a budget, let's take a moment to crunch some numbers and see if the effort is worth the investment.

For those looking to grow indoors, the initial investment is typically a few hundred bucks. A basic grow tent can cost up to $100 or less, while a small grow light might set you back around $50. Add in seeds, soil, fertilizer, containers, and fans, and you can get started with an indoor grow for about $300. Plus, don't forget about electric bills, which depend on the wattage and running time of your equipment as well as the cost of electricity in your area.

On the other hand, the startup costs of an outdoor garden tend to be much lower. You can skip most of the equipment needed for an indoor setup and start your outdoor grow for under $50.

Remember, these figures are just rough estimates for getting started. With a little ingenuity, you can save even more by building parts yourself or repurposing materials.
