The reality is that Cannabis seeds are easier to start than tomato seeds; no heat mat and faster to germinate. Cannabis plants are less fussy; they are more cold and heat tolerant and grow more quickly (think bamboo!). My favorite and final comparison is that you only need one or two Cannabis plants in your garden - whereas I have many tomato plants.

We work with folks across the U.S. that are growing Cannabis for all sorts of reasons, and we are here to support you too. Through our popular gardening workshops, and our ‘class textbook’, The Cannabis Gardener by Penny Barthel, we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to provide practical gardening advice. Our head gardener and founder Emily Gogol, has won numerous awards for her garden advocacy, which includes building community gardens and public parks. The Grow It From Home team is passionate about empowering you to grow Cannabis at home in your backyard or on a patio. It really does grow like a weed!
