The biggest is the dark period during flowering has to be 12 or more hours per night. That uninterrupted dark period is required for a successful flowering. There are now Automatic flowering strains, but I believe they don't produce well either quantity or quality, but if you're not a heavy pain treatment user maybe that would be the easiest first few rounds, and you could then budget your savings to use lights and such. They make contraptions to blackout outside. Outdoors under sunlight is much more affordable than using electric lights. Maybe the newer lights are cheap enough to be worth the security. The all time best tasting stuff is grown Veganicly, no manure or any animal parts used, only plant compost and minerals. That makes the lightest buring. Good luck, anything good for tomatoes is good for that too.
