Growing mushrooms is really easy. Its 10% work, 90% sitting around letting it do its own thing.

Hopefully in 2016 - the whole "medical marijuana card" deal is a joke; 99% are people who just love smoking weed, being prescribed by an MD looking to turn profit$ in a very lucrative industry.

its easier to clone bud plants then mushroom tissue... because of the agar prep... but it could go both ways if you make your own rooting solvent.
its easier to provide mushrooms with a fruiting condition then it is for good quality plants..
its a tie in my book..

It's not easy to grow weed with real care. I grew some plants from seed last year and just used window light. The seeds were from some really potent buds but my plants didn't do to well at all. They were puny and though the bud was good there wasn't very much of it.

Yup, "Window light" will do that.....with any plants, not just weed.

hey I'm one of those. I have grown weed longer and feel that it is easier than fruiting mushrooms which I have yet to do well repeatedly but overall stones are the easiest IME.
I find plants easier to read/ work with so far but stones are the easiest since you prep jars n PC em inoculate and wait. You have to do stuff not constantly but continually as weed grows or shrooms fruit.

But for the sake of comparison- which is more difficult? Growing marijuana or mushrooms? I am not new to marijuana at all, an avid smoker for several years- but mushiez I am somewhat new to. However, I would like to look into cultivating them, but just curious about how difficult it truly is- when all guidance is followed.
Same just different. If you are good at one you will catch on fast with the other.

I've done both, and I'd say that weed (atleast good weed) is much more difficult. Anyone can get some potting soil, throw a seed in it, and let it grow. Needless to say, the buds coming off of that plant are most likely going to be sheit. Once I started growing mushrooms I was actually surprised at how simple the process really is. Sterility is key to growing shrooms...knowing exactly what your plants need and when to do it is the trick for MJ. This necessitates a stiffer learning curve IMO.

I've grown both, and the only thing I can say, as far as INDOOR growing, pot is more expensive than mushrooms to grow, definitely. HID lighting, proper airflow, nutes, etc....ongoing electric usage, depending on your scale. Mushrooms look really easy (well, not easy, but I hope you understand what I mean) to run 8-12 tubs and have a single room with a large flourescent light fixture lighting all the tubs at once. Pot growing needs mucho wattage. Also, stealth....Throw a blanket over your tubs and they're hidden....weed takes a bit more to hide. Carbon scrubber, ozone generator......I really want to say they're about the same.....but I'd also go on to say, larger scale is more attainable growing shrooms....large scale pot growing (again, I'm talking indoors) is expensive.
I'm fucking rambling, sorry, lol. ....stoned....

Weed and Mushrooms are the same level of difficulty, mushrooms might in fact be easier b/c it's just waiting, with the correct procedures. Weed takes forever to grow, and there is about the same amount of research that must be taken in, or your plants will suck, and or your plants will mold or be infested with fungus fly's or spider mites, reading the PH levels on every feed is a son of bitch (and soil), moving shit around all the time sucks and makes you want to kill yourself, learning HST, LST, super cropping, topping, fimming and all that takes a very long time.

I know exactly what you mean a proper set up going to cost $2500 but I only run a 250w with sog or scrog it produces way more then enough for me. The electric bill only rises about $35 with the 250 .I agree 190% mushrooms are way more discreet and cheaper.

It's a no brainer. High quality cannabis is much more difficult to produce than mushrooms, for various reasons.

Absolutely. Unless your talking about creating a dirt weed plant. Growing shrooms can be explained in just about 1 long run on sentence. Get (organic) honey, put in jar with 1 pint of water, boil jar, inoculate jar, wait until it's fully white, suck up in syringe shoot outside on some hay preferably. Weed you would need to write a full fucking book to from start to the curing process, which ALWAYS MOLDS!! DIE DIE DIE!!

Depends on circumstance.
In my circumstance I say pot is harder for one reason.
Growing the same quantity of weed that I do shrooms would produce an enormous stench that I would have to find some way to ventilate without my close neighbors smelling it. I live in a 6 plex any everyone would know it was me if there was a constant reek of marijuana around.
Mushrooms can be grown from spore to fruit in less than a month. Weed takes more time. I guess you could argue the time investment alone means it's 'harder' since you have to pay more attention to it for a longer period of time? Just spit balling ideas here though. If you're a master weed grower you're going to be able to grow dank super easy with little effort...
Another reason I say weed is harder is because I tried to grow weed twice when I was in college. I failed twice.
When I went to grow mushrooms I succeeded on the first try. First mushroom at 23 days. I'd say that's pretty easy. Especially since during the whole colonization period you really don't have to do anything except MAYBE turn the jar over if it's stalled out.
Weed takes maintenance at all stages of growth.

I'm spending 4,6,8 hour a day on this stuff then I wake up extra early before work so I can doodle with them.
I believe I seriously have a addiction sad part is I have alot of them don't sell them and use only about 2 a month. Sad to say I have not went over 1.4 dried grams yet.

I ate 7 grams, and only see myself upping the dose as time goes on....maybe when I have an isolate from which I'm growing.
