well its a lot of work no dought but it reeps its rewards as you know. Not to mention the peeps you communicate with on a daily basis just about. I am kind of new and at first I got very consumed with growing. I decided to take it easy the past week or so and went fishing, got busy with things that werent growing my cannabis. i still enjoy cultivating dont get me wrong, but my advice would be to ease back into it and enjoy the process. I think go big or go home most certainly doesnt apply to growing, if it is done on a more personal level and not for commercial purposes. Since I started doing other hobbies and things with my time, my growing has become much more enjoyable and not as stressful as it was.
