Depending on genetics I'd say for the most part. I built a chest before ever touching weights doing different variations of pushups. Either way its good to start with pushups and pullups to get your body acclimated to resistance.

Since you're a kush smoker
It shouldn't be hard for you to concentrate
Try to start with
500 push ups a day(aim for 25 reps a set minimum)(20sets)
150 pull ups a day
200 dips a day
100 handstand push ups a day
(just get it done through out the day)
Add abs and squats(I admit I lacked in these departments)
Give or take for about 3-4 years I was doing this and average
About 4 to 5 pounds a year of all muscle (hard gainer)
Do it for a few months, then get yourself a weightvest
For added resistance.....
Once you hit the weights your definition game will
Be on point

Honestly yes. But it won't be by cranking out endless reps. It needs to be a challenge at no more than 20 reps. Get some gymnastics rings and an iron gym pull-up bar (you'll need the bar for the rings).

great. those are the same gymnastics rings i bought, they are great.yeah i got the pullup bar already
they make stuff more challenging. Parallel dips I can do all day but ring dips the most I've done back to back is 8 reps. Ring pullups are dope too they really activate the lats. And ring pushups are ab killersBreh it just hit me you @ me about some gymnastics rings,what they like breh

150 pull ups a day?
pull ups are my weak point
Don't need that much volume as a beginner. Just determine what your max is and go from there.
Like other posters said, genetics will determine what you see as "mass." Are you gonna get freakishly huge from bodyweight solo? No, but again, huge to you might be small to someone else. As a new guy you could recomp and gain some mass from bodyweight only but longterm you need to progressively add weight and eat in a surplus to add serious mass.
Best thing to do is grab a backpack and put some weights inside of it. Do some weighted dips and weighted chins/pullups. That way you can still progressive overload without barbells.
Bodyweight has its place, but if adding pure mass/strength is your goal, doing unweighted pull-ups or dips is just a waste of time.

yes you can get just as big and bigger than people using weights if you have the right routines and diet.
SPACE IS FAKE

First, muscle men tend to flounder with the pull-up because of their mass. The heavier you are, the more work is required to move that bulk. I have seen many first-dates come to a screeching halt at the climbing gym after the would-be impresser fails to pull himself up six inches. Though rippled with muscle, they “have nothing to do with all their strength,” as the Joker would say.
Second, arm length matters. Take two people of the same mass, say 100 kilograms. If one person has to contract half a meter of arm to complete a pull-up, he or she is exerting 490 Joules of energy. If the other person, quite a lanky individual, has to pull through one full meter, he or she exerts 981 Joules of energy—the same amount released by a quarter gram of TNT. With just a moderate variability in arm length among us, pull-ups become harder or easier.
Im 6'1 with long arms and it is definitely more difficult but it pays off
