2017-12-05 at 2:58 AM UTCAnyone have any tips on how to move out on you're own? I have a complicated relationship with my family, I'd rather keep my distance.

2017-12-05 at 3:39 AM UTCNo, Currently looking for one as I still have a bit of time about a year or so before the actual time I have to leave. I'm going to have to find a way to maintain a weed budget as well. Anyone out there do this ? College is somewhat not an option for me I hate school with a passion.

2017-12-05 at 3:48 AM UTCHow complicated is it? I would recommend almost any other workable arrangement that would keep you in the home, because unless there's a pressing reason you need to get out you're almost certain to be miserable.

2017-12-05 at 3:50 AM UTCI don't fit in at all never have. for some reason I grew up with a different mentality, I'm seen as hoodlum by my family and the more time I spend with them the more increasing hatred I feel.

Originally posted by Little Mac & cheese Yeah I did it and it was the best thing for me even though I had no internet, no money and a shit job I made a fake Facebook, hooked up with a bunch of people, started flipping ounces and QPs of weed, hash and getting into extractions in my tiny little basement suite that didn't even have a proper bedroom.
I bided my time and eventually had enough resources to teach myself to make weed oil, grow a few weed plants and trade my way to a few thousand dollars in cash which I used to rent a nice 2 bedroom apartment with my best friend and we celebrated new years with champagne and lots of hash.
I still look back to those days in that dingy basement surrounded by idiots and thieves, and I was with a pregnant girl I hated. I would read chemistry and meth stuff which is how I hooked up with this IRA chemist guy in California and we got into Bitcoin early and made cool profit for us both.
Then I got into meth, more chemistry, got sick of working and took a year off to do research which ended in a horrible mess of fire and destruction and now I am thousands of miles elsewhere doing something totally different with my life.
I was 17 when this all started now I'm 24 and it all happened so fast, I've had 2 jobs in this period of time, one for 4 years and the other for 1 year. Mostly I just sat around for much of that time shit posting on Rdfrn or this site in summer 2016.
Also my dad moved in with me sometime in 2015 maybe earlier because his girlfriend left him and all the utilities were in her name.
I am possibly getting an apartment with my close friend, have been looking into growing my own weed as that would be convenient and a form of income. Do you have any videos or tips on how to get started into growing? -

I can understand your motivations for wanting to leave, but is there more you aren't telling us? Without going into specifics, is there physical or emotional abuse happening? Do you feel unsafe in your house? -

There's definitely been some abuse (normal shit getting hit for breaking glass or talking at school) I mean mostly due to me being a anxious boy with my parents getting divorced (this mostly causes my anxiety and probably some other shit as previous ex gf's have told me) but I have respect for my parents as they do not speak English and made the best they could but, like I said it's more due to not getting long and I've never been the person to depend on other people. -

Originally posted by I main Luigi on smash 4 I used to sell hydroponics stuff you can read a lot from indoor gardening books, lights are the biggest expense and indoor isn't easy on a low budget.
Outdoor is pretty cheap you just need gardening bags and lots of good dirt which is also cheap and a decent spot away from everything.
Start everything indoors beforehand though, with seedlings or clones. Coco bricks are also pretty useful and cheap in bulk
I have a friend has a small setup in his apartment (6-8 plants) he recommended a site called seedsman I believe? Would this be reliable. Where could I find info about growing, difference between clones and all that at? -

If there's not a pattern of abuse, and you want to move out at 17 to grow hydroponics with your friend, you might actually be a hoodlum. Please don't take this personally: I also wanted to move out and do drugs when I was 17. If you want my advice, talk to your folks about your anxiety and have a good cry. Then get to a family therapist. I know that sounds shitty right now, but in ten years your priorities will have shifted and when you start thinking of starting your own family, you'll regret not working things out with your parents. -

I've been to therapy, Thanks for the input nothing personal, I shared the information for a purpose haha. In my eyes, I am not moving out to specifically do drugs but I am going to because I don't want to be "controlled" by my parents any longer as that's what bothers me most. Fun fact they don't believe I have anxiety. I don't blame this day in age what teenager hasn't self diagnosed but even my school counselor has told them. -

Particularly immigrant parents are sometimes remiss to acknowledge psychiatric diagnoses in their children, prescription or not. I promise you, though, if you go to college you will get to enjoy the freedom you want from your parents, and you will have access to a student health plan that lets you access mental health services. You only have a little bit of school left, and you can absolutely turn this around because hardly anything counts before college anyway.
Otherwise, what will you do for money to afford food, housing, etc? -

I was thinking of literally just getting a minimum wage job getting an apartment with a friend and growing weed haha. Yes my parents are exactly as you describe them. If I do attend college it would be for audio engineering but I don't really need school for that half of the courses are online lol. -

I think it's true that not everyone needs to go to college, so you might be able to make things work temporarily as you strive for something like the audio idea. And you're right that you can learn a good deal online. The thing about audio engineering, though, is that you need an in to make it work for you. Taking community college classes in music composition and audio production might be a good idea to meet some well-connected professors, and so would requesting an internship with a studio that could use the help. The latter is probably better for the kinesthetic learner, especially if you already know some of your stuff and can bring a skillset to the table.
So, if you're dead set on moving out, you'll want to do it the right way. Ask your parents for some help, first. Don't expect anything, but if they want to be really nice maybe they'll cover your security deposit. If you have roommates, work 25-30 hours a week and spend thriftily you can probably live rather comfortably. You'll want to budget so that you're saving a reasonable amount of income for emergencies and other unexpected expenses. -

Originally posted by I main Luigi on smash 4 I don't know any specific sites I mostly just googled stuff over the years and learned slowly from experience, lots of plants are cloned and grown in a similar way to weed, I also had a nice garden, lawn and worked at a garden store so I learned lots from there.
It's pretty easy you just need to learn lights, nutrients, air movement, soil/soiless. You can even practice clones cheap with tomatoes and a jar of IBA rooting gel.
Plenty of places to find all this stuff, I don't think anyone here has ever wrote a comprehensive weed growing guide probably because theres so much info out there It's kinda pointless to rehash basics.
The more advanced stuff is mostly things for large scale or saving money like mixing your own nutes instead of buying General Hydro premixed which most growers do because they can afford to spent $200 for a large 10L jug of micro, veg and flower.
I see, thanks for the info helped alot!
