Do you prefer Bucket or Slash?  That kind of determines which you like better.

I'm not complaining, but to your point, taking previously recorded vocals and layering them over a new track isn't a good idea, especially if they're going to do that for an album.  But after Absurd, I consider this a god send.

Might you send me a PM sir?

It's not hard, it's just the learning curve of what your plants need not to die or get sick.  Most newbies way over water their plants, especially early on, and that can cause a bunch of issues that are very hard to recover from.  The biggest concern once they go into flower mode is the smell.  I've experimented with cheap fixed like Ona, but nothing beats a carbon scrubber.  I think I had way over $1400 into my final setup, but that was after a few years of learning the ropes and improving each grow (i was doing 2-3 grows a year).  I sold everything I had to a buddy for like $300 to just get it out of my house, so if you search facebook marketplace I'd wager you could find something similar. 

But if you're an experienced gardener, the learning curve isn't as steep.  The biggest price point in my opinion is the damn nutrients and solutions.  They only sell them in liter+ bottles, and you'll maybe use 1/10th of that per grow.  But depending on how serious you are and what concepts you believe, you could have $400 in up front nutrient costs. Once you know what you're doing it's significantly cheaper to grow your own than to even buy from your local dealer selling 1/2s for $150, and the potential for a serious product is definitely at your complete control.  If you're a legal medicinal patient, it is a shit load cheaper to grow your own than pay $65 for decent 1/8ths.

I really enjoyed it and the time it took to just train them to grow in a certain direction and get the nodes to split to create more colas.  But figuring out how to safely disposes of several pounds of plant material each grow was always an asshole pucker.  My last grow I had a garbage bag full of plant material i was going to burn at a buddy's farm.  Like an idiot I just tossed the bag in the back seat of my truck thinking that would be safer.  5 minutes from his house I get pulled over for speeding by the local PD.  Thank the gods luck was with me that day.  Cop issued me a speeding ticket and was none the wiser several pounds of leaves and stems were in a bag right behind me.
