HOME GROWERS SPOTLIGHT ►
My Home Grow Home Grow Enthusiast Chris Heier
Our readers often send us stories about how thrilled they are to legally home-grow and plant photos showing their successes growing plants . We hope to share these stories and photos from time to time . Here is one recent story and photos we received .
Home grow enthusiast Chris Heier says he ’ s immersed in the legality of cannabis and living the life he has always dreamed of . “ From the first toke , at a young age , I never dreamed that I would be growing legal weed and slinging legal weed at a dispensary today ,” said Heier . “ Cheers to living the dream and being liberated from the unjust and outdated federal laws !”
Before Missouri legalized cannabis in 2020 , Heier says he had never touched a cannabis seed . “ I chose to get legal as a medical patient and teach myself how to grow ,” he said . “ It took me 15 seeds before I had a plant grow all the way to harvest , and ever since , I have been self-sufficient in growing my own meds . It ’ s very rewarding and therapeutic , to say the least . Over the years , I have been able to dial in my grow-space and make my job as a home cultivator almost effortless .”
Heier says , “ To anyone throwing around the idea of growing their own , JUST GROW IT ! The hardest part is getting started . Find help from your local grow store . In the KC area , Year-Round Garden Supply in Lee ’ s Summit offers growing classes that certainly helped me sift through the bro science and BS that the internet is flooded with .
“ Spend time with your girls ( which I call my plants ) and learn to listen to them ,” said Heier . “ They will tell you exactly what they like and what they don ’ t . I usually go into the grow each day with no agenda other than letting the girls tell me what I need to do . Defoliate , water , or maybe move the lights . Give your plants time to flourish ; you ’ ll soon see that there is nothing more rewarding than smoking your own grow !”
Heier has many more of his photos online at IG @ grow _ n _ tell , where he created step-by-step documentation of his home grow as well as his portfolio to help him land a job within the industry . As a result of his efforts , Heier reports , “ I am grateful to have landed a job at the best dispensary in Missouri , Kansas City Cannabis !”
The strain in Heier ’ s photos shown here is Hella Cracked ( Hella Jelly x Green Crack ) with seeds from Petal Power Seed Co . Heier ’ s photos shown were taken December 3 through December 13 , 2023 .
Thank you for sharing your photos , Chris . Great job with your home grow .
