No, but controlling everything is! especially when you only have limited options. Bugs are a straight bitch and can destroy a crop in days.

I agree.
You dont just go buy veg and flower nutes, get some water and soil, and a light and call it a day.
It takes serious planning, research and dedication to grow some top shelf buds. People don't realize that and they rationalize in their head that their mid grade harvest is as good as it gets.
Also, once you actually get the hang of what your doing. Genetics can limit you greatly, you need good genetics to take that next step farther towards some serious top shelf

I started selling oxycontin, then using oxycontin while continuing to sell it to support my habit, then when those became scarce and I was opiate dependent I moved onto heroin, then started selling heroin also to support my habit. Then I got arrested in a large heroin deal. Measure 57, distribution of heroin over 50g + some other charges they threw at me.
A girl died the day before from some heroin she got from a supplier of mine and they did a huge sting and took down 8 of us in 1 day. The heroin she had passed hands through the other 7 and they all ended up in federal court on "Distribution resulting in death" charges. 20 years for them if no previous felonies, life if they have previous felonies. I got lucky you could say.

Actually, that is exactly what you do.
Growing weed isn't hard, growing good weed isn't hard, either. You just need to learn how to properly fertilize and start off with some good genetics.
@ op - growing weed is easy like growing mushrooms, but things can still go wrong. Knowing how to control pests, treat deficiencies and maintain optimum conditions (air intake, outake, temperature, humidity, etc) is what will define you as a good grower.
However, anybody can buy a clone of a good mother and feed it correctly and grow some real dank bud, it's very simple.

i find plants much easier to grow than mushrooms but I've been a gardener my whole life, so it's pretty intuitive for me. I grew my first marijuana plants outdoors this year and I must say it couldn't have been easier.
Also I love my cacti.

Is growing cacti harder or easier than growing weed?

IMO growing cacti is much easier. You can forget to water them for months and they will be fine.

Growing cacti is very easy if you are in a good climate for growing them. They do take MUCH more time per dose than ganja does though.

Nah, its not what you do( it is what you buy but there is much much much more detail that goes into it). If that is your attitude, then your grow op will most likely be subpar at best.

When taking into account the most advanced types of grows, there are far more aspects to properly maintaining a marijuana grow than there are to a shroom grow. E.g., weed you gotta control odor, dissolved solids ppm/nutrient levels, pH, light distance, light cycles, color temp depending on veg or flower cycle, etc. all while inspecting for disease and pests.
Shrooms you pretty much rotate your monotubs and check for contams. If you're growing in a tent maybe rotate the trays around and check for contams.
Shrooms have the added complexity of contamination problems but plants can get mites and other things so that equals out. They both require careful genetic manipulation for best results so that's a wash. Shrooms go straight from the tub to the dehydrator for a few hours and done while pot needs to dry, then cure so pot's more difficult there. even if you're working with agar for shrooms and doing isolates, plants have genetic issues of their own to address too.
Growing weed is more difficult than growing cubes. Can't speak to other varieties of shrooms.

psi, you don't have any trouble growing them in the 905? I suppose you need a warm place for them in the winter?

everything is easy to grow, if your happy with a crappy expensive crop, thats time, and power consuming a large area.
growing a serious , reliable , tangible, quality crop, is difficult, and never easy.
if one is growin, with "ease", as a primary concern, id suggest a serious job, and purchasing what you need instead.

Unless you've ran a REAL grow you can't input anything.
If you lived in the most prime of locations in Cali (etc..) then you could simply plant and have awesome bud w/ proper genetics.
Most have to grow indoors which means controlling the climate and bio-dome that you create.. Bugs, Molds, Fungi, Disease, Deficiency, pH problems, and it goes on and on.

With trichocereus I do for sure, but peyote's lighting requirements are much lower so I can get by with cheap T8 shop lights in a sunny window. The problem with the trichocereus is that I don't have any indoor space that's cool but not too cold to get a good dormancy period, and keeping them actively growing over the winter requires more lighting resources than I'm currently able to devote to them. It's mostly an aesthetic problem, they are growing in mass over the years but most of them are ugly because of the uneven growth.

Yeah I was growing them up near the Canadian border for a few years and had the same problems. It's so gratifying to be here in Southern California, where they just LOVE life. Very similar to some of their native habitats in coastal Peru.

or, maybe morroco. wich is about as good as cali, having been born in cali, and lived in morroco, and ,have grown both places.
point i make is simple, and it comes from indoor/ outdoor , greens , fungi, and cacti experience. good grows require, skill , treasure and effort.

Yeah growing them outside year round would be awesome. A heated greenhouse is the closest I could probably manage, but it's not within my means at this time.

I don't have anything to back up my opinion its just my opinion
You aware how they grow weed in Cali/Colorado/Wash/Ore etc..? Watch a few shows like Weed Country, then come back and tell me professional growers don't do it outside.
The biggest problems with weed are excess heat and smell, these aren't really issues with mushrooms (depending where you live).
The equipment for a weed grow also costs a lot more to set up, though if you grow mushrooms you may already have a lot of the grow equipment you need. (perlite, verm, manure, veg lights etc).
The better the genetics, the better the product, regardless of how well you do the first few times.

Depends on quality and quantity of your grow op. No it isnt hard to grow in very small amounts. I just threw a bunch of seeds on CXS property this summer and they are almost ready for harvest, literally never attended to them lol.

peeps can do amazing things indoors and outdoors. thats not really in question.
genetics are a big deal indeed. at the end of the grow though, its about genetics, skill, and luck of conditions.
im always of the belief, that no good grow is easy.
its been said 10% of the growers, make 90% of the product. theres a reason for that.
