what do you guys think? shrooms seem much easier to me, i'm reading about growing bud, and although it dosen't seem hard, it does seem a lot more complex to grasp for a rookie.

its easy yo grow bud, but the smell is a problem, and i mean a problem, if u grow in ur basement, ur who basement will smell and possibly ur whole house. so get some filter or somethin, because bud will smell ur house up.

what about an apartment in a complex? i'm not so much worried about the smell as I am just learning to do the right things and not turn some expensive seeds and materials into a waste by fucking up.

Unfortunately boarder, there is no guarantee that a seed will turn out female; too many things can make a "female" go to male (stress such as lack of water, root damage, burns by heat and chemicals in soil, lack of light, etc, etc, etc.....). So, you might even have the same luck w/ a bag seed if it looks healthy enough. Just watch it when it starts flowering. And look out for hermies too!!!

since you've already looked around the net as you have said, i'm fairly sure you've already come across overgrow.com... but if not, check them out, they are the people you should be asking 
oh and imho, shrooms are easier to grow than bud, although i have only read about growing bud and do not have any direct experience so mho doesn't mean much

I reckon it's easier to grow bud than shrooms. I have harvested some nice bud, But havn't had any luck with shrooms yet (only green mold). Smell is worse when your drying. Keep "PH" levels around 6.5, Lighting for veg growth is 18 hours on 6 hours dark. Lights for flowering is 12 on 12 off. Nothing hard or complex here, Plant a seed and watch it grow. My first grow, I put a seed outside in a pot, Watered it and it grew. did nothing special, No ph adjust, No fertilizers and i ended up with a nice amount of good smoke.

Don't limit yourself to one hobbie. They are diffferent products true, each with its own plus and minuses...Weed does smell very strong and takes a longer time from begining to finish, mushrooms are faster which are more prone to infection... Do tons of research, knowledge always beats ingredients, asking a varied question is not for us to answer..You should find what you want and the karma should work with you....

Sometimes it may be caused by stress, but it could be the seed as well. Just toss them with the males if you find any.

yeah i've been reading about all those differnt strains of seeds Mark Emery sells...sativa seems like more my type rather than indica. it's harder to grow and takes longer though.

An ionizer will work ok, but if you use it in the grow room your weed will not have a smell either, how about a ozone generater...

IMO - Shrooms are ALOT easier to grow...just depends on how good you want ou bud to be. Anyone can toss some bag seed in a pot and give it water & light. Not difficult. BUT, if you want to really grow GOOD bud...it can be fairly complicated. AND DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON EXPENSIVE FEMINIZED SEEDS! They are NOT guaranteed to be female 1st of all, and 2nd you are bound to screw up your first attempt and do you really want to waste the $$$? Want good seeds...go here http://www.seedsdirect.to/frame.html. If you are going to grow bud just start with bagseed til you get the hang of it. When you do order some I recommend some Rooi Bart or an F1 hybrid like Cali sunrise or sumthin. And yes, htp://www.overgrow.com rocks!

Doing both right now. Can tell you that despite the need for cleanliness and worries of contams, Shrooms are easier and far more rewarding to grow.
Of course that could be cuz I've smoked so much that I'm actually bored with pot these days.........

it depends what you want my friend has produced about a pound of northern lights in about four months.(northern lights #5 no smell at all). he also has produced 2 pounds of mushrooms. in about 3 months. ok lets look at they price comparisn. weed about 1500 us dollars for all equiptment. and for mushrooms. about 100 us dollars.note. know ing that he didn't need all of trhat epuiptment for the weed but it made it that much better. the more money you put into growing weed the better product your going to get. there are many different gadgets to make sure of optimal conditiions. trust me you will see. it is not always the same way with mushrooms except the fact of buying flow hoods if you want them.ok from his time spent doing each hobbie. when he was growing weed for four months. i didn't see him much except when i went over there. he was in that room so much he was finding himself wakeing up the next morining in the growroom. people asked why he had sunburn in the middle of winter.when he was growing shrooms he is all over the place i see him everyware. he said he checks them like once a week and when preparing and inncuolateing jars, prepareing casings. takes about 4 to 5 hours out of the four months. so weigh those options. see what ya like better

cost too much to start growin pot. if you grow the right way that is and invest in metal halide or hps lights, containers, soil, nutrient, paint or reflective material for grow room, and depending on your location and size of your crop you get into co2 and odor eliminators and all that crap. light cycles, and a light proof grow room so light off cycle is completely dark to promote good flowering, etc. etc.
too much hassle growin pot, just go buy a cutie and toke all month!

Well ive been growing both for almost 12 years. It took me 9 months to pull off my cube harvest. There was no internet at that time. I got my live culture from the fmrc. Steve Peele I think.
It took me three months to grow my first sellable weed. With all the money from weed sales I could buy plenty of mushies. I think weed growing is more fun anyway. You can share it with your friends everyday. www.overgrow.com

Thats true, but acording to Ed rosenthal (High Times/Canabus Cultivator) You can get all female seed from a stressed out female plant that polinates it's self.
When ya get a real good bag of chronic and find only a couple of seeds, the odds are that they are female seed.

What Ed really says is that you can get FEMINIZED seeds from hermi plants that started as a female. This does NOT mean you are guarenteed they will be female plants. It is just as likely the plant would turn out to be another hermi, which still has seeds...just not as many. So, Jammer...when "ya get a real good bag of chronic and find only a couple of seeds", chances are that bud your smoking came from a hermi plant. Not a bad thing...still gets ya high...just has a few seeds in it. Still IMO, you are wasting your $$$ buying feminized seeds. You will have a 1:2 male/female ratio with normal seeds which is fine by me. Not to mention, IMO you get better yeilds with normal seeds.

Thats not what I recall Ed saying in his classic growing guide (often called "The Bible"). Not all plants are hemprodites. However most any female plant can be stressed to the point of dieing (can be done by hacking the shit off of the growing shoots/buds) and it's instinct to pass the strain on will results in male and female flowers.
As another user has sited here that ALL of the "female" seeds that they purchased were females.... how does anyone produce such a ratio? As far as I know stressing out a female plant is the only way.
