Affiliate Disclosure
This page explains how Growing MJ makes money and how that relates to the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials.
We use affiliate links
Growing MJ is intended to participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
In practical terms: some of the product links in our articles (grow tents, grow lights, hydroponic equipment, pots, meters, and similar gear) are affiliate links. If you click one of those links and then buy something on the retailer's site — not necessarily the exact item we linked to — we may receive a small commission. This does not change the price you pay.
We may also join other affiliate programs in the future (for example, other gardening or hydroponics retailers). If we do, they will be covered by this same disclosure and will follow the same principles described below.
How this affects (and doesn't affect) our content
- We write about product categories and what to look for, based on genuine research and common practice in indoor gardening — not based on which link pays the highest commission.
- Affiliate links are marked clearly, either in-line with bold styling and a small "affiliate link" note, or grouped in a labeled product box.
- We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review or for placement of a specific product ahead of others.
- Whether or not a link is an affiliate link, we try to only recommend gear categories and setups that are genuinely useful for the situation described in the article.
Not yet monetized
Some affiliate links on this site may currently point to plain, non-tracked product or search pages while our Amazon Associates application is pending or while we finish onboarding additional affiliate programs. As those approvals complete, standard tracking parameters will be added to the existing links — the products and guidance themselves won't change.
