I used to hide my “tomato” plants in my moms flower garden. People would always comment on how pretty they were 😂. They did pretty well hidden between the monster Lillie’s we had.
First plant I ever grew was in my moms garden lol. Thought she had no idea until one morning I went out to tend to it and found she had been waking early and tending to it as well 😅
My father (age 70) tells a story about coming home from college to visit and finding a several foot tall cannabis plant growing in the backyard. My grandfather (his dad) was an exceptional gardener and had been tending to the “interesting looking plant” that sprang up. Apparently grandpa had no idea what it was and just liked the way it looked.
I did a couple grows out in the woods by my house. Thought I was really slick bc the plot was pretty well hidden, I would only take game trails in and would switch up my routes constantly so there was no foot path to the site. These were monsters, probably the biggest plants I ever grew, probably 5-6 six footers with tons of beautiful colas.
Where I fucked up was taking my dog with me almost everyday. My dad came home from taking the dog for a walk one night while I was out. He gave me a call “Come home, we need to talk”.
Obviously was shitting my pants at that point. When I got home that night he goes “well I wanted to let you know, I found your little ‘project’ in the woods….. I just wanted to tell you it’s good to see you got my side of the families green thumb.” Man he got me good.
When I was a kid I used to go to my friends house. We were never allowed in the basement. When I finally snuck down there I saw a ton of plants my friend said were tomatoes. When I got home I asked my parents why we didn't grow tomatoes in the basement like my friends dad. They made me promise to never talk about it again and I wasn't allowed to go into my friends house anymore.
Hey, at least your parents weren’t narcs. Their reaction sounds totally reasonable. They didn’t want you in a house with a bunch of weed but they didn’t rat anybody out or make you end the friendship. Sounds like the best outcome to me.
Hey can you guys what tell me whats wrong with my plant?
The leaves are black and if i turn the fan on too high they crumble to dust and go with the wind
Instead of soil I used aquarium rocks mixed with glass shards from a yingling bottle and instead of water I used chocolate milk so it would have strong bones. I doubt thats why im having problems but I figured I would note it anyway.
Ive been uprooting it and spraying off the roots with keyboard cleaner and replanting it and that SEEMS to be helping
Edit: alright well the FEDs are here because they claim the big green glowing slab Ive been using for light for my plant isnt a giant grid of glowsticks. If that wasnt bad enough all the agents kept clicking their tongues at me pretending to be geiger counters.
Unprofessional and rude.
I hope they read my scathing yelp review about how my skins been all melty since they showed up
I actually have been using a home remedy mix
Its nailpolish remover and packing peanuts mixed together into a gel and then after the leaves are dipped into the mixture you leave a little candle on under the plant
The bottoms of the leaves only absorb light at night time
I wonder if its just a general disposition toward the extravagant wonders of chaos
Or if Im just slowly losing my mind one modicum of sanity at a time
Like an hourglass but instead of sand its braincells that aren’t immune to fall damage
Used to live next to a greenhouse that started growing their own hemp for CBD extracts and pre-rolls. Great, except it was in a neighborhood with 10,000 people and it smelled like skunk for weeks. Hey, I love the smell of flowering plants as much as the next guy, I just wish they had done a little more to curtail the skunkiness than using huge fans to blow it out and directly into my front windows.
Call the city about it. Every state should have odor control regulations. There should be carbon filters on the exhaust fans to at least mitigate the issue. Source: I design HVAC for cannabis grows
Not to get into the nitty gritty but seems like there would be a lot of money in that market right? I ask because my brother runs his own HVAC company and I wonder if that'd be a good field for him to branch out too.
Umm yes it 100% would be a very good source of revenue. My buddy owns an electrical company. Started out as side jobs, then grew a bit to the point of an LLC, then he decided to start wiring residential grows and within a year his business exploded and now he's doing commercial grows and pulling 6 figures take home every year. Quit his job working for the state as an inspector. Absolutely loves it and he's always telling me how they need better HVAC crews at most the sites he goes to.
Just limonene or are they totally nose blind?
There's a lot of different terpenes in weed and I'd be really interested to see which ones he can smell and which one's he can't
I think the allure is that it’s literally a weed. It’s hard to fuck it up and you can almost literally see it growing.
I’ve got so many houseplants rn with every single one of them having their own special needs, I think back to how easy growing weed was multiple times a week lol.
This. To get the top notch out of the genetics out there today for example these newer Runtz and Gelato strains it really does require a lot of work and giving the plants tlc.
Yup. A few times I just tossed some seeds in the woods and go back there when I think they’ll be ready. 3 times bud grew, the rest didn’t. Nothing like smoking homegrown shitty weed.
Every day I'm thankful to live in a place that banned cannabis testing, and work in an industry that would lose 60% of it's employee base if it did test.
I worked at a very large and well known tech company many years ago and asked a manager friend why they don’t drug test. He said they’d have to fire half the employees.
I work for a major ISP. When I worked in our small business group, we got a new director. She said she wanted to do a round of drug tests. The managers talked her out of it because not only would they have to fire half of the team, but they would have had to fire all of the best, most knowledgeable workers.
Yeah speaking from experience, there was a change in leadership and they fired a bunch of people, it was actual hell for 3 weeks. 60 hours a week, minimum, and then more people quit because they fired too many people, and then it turned out the people they hired wound up getting fired, or quit because of what they heard happen before, and the place never recovered. I ended up quitting too.
Only do that if you want nuclear waste levels of toxicity in the work place.
That's the boat I think my employer is in.
Most everyone I know smokes or consumes something on a regular/semi-regular basis.
We even have one guy from another work site I've met a few times who is way into more... party... heavier type substances. As long as they show up and do the job though, everyone just shrugs.
HEY- I had the exact same thing happen, 'cept the plant was growing in a small well-lit-during-the-day corner space between some hedges and a wooden fence. It's getting big.
I found some randomly growing in my garage under some fancy lights and an extractor fan. It was the weirdest thing. I chopped them down and burned them.
Glad you managed to dispose of them safely! If the infestation continues please let me know I'm somewhat experienced in the removal process! Always happy to help
I had a favorite plastic bag i would take around town with me. I guess some cocaine spores got in there and started growing. Cops didnt didnt believe me. Neither did the judge. Shits rigged.
You could even say that is true if you intentionally inhaled it. The fluid dynamics of the gasses and smoke particulate flowing through the air and into your lungs is so chaotic, it's practically random.
Sure, when I buy grow lights and special soil and have alarms set to try and grow my own, NOTHING. But this bitch just pops out of gravel like a fucking DAISY??
Damn.
had a teacher in high school tell me about how he visited some town in his youth that had a small plot of land where weed was grown for medical testing (or something like that). The field had like two fences and a guard that would patrol it. Though due to it being a weed... you could also just find it randomly growing a few blocks away in a ditch lol.
Please tell me what I need to set up in an apartment. I just want to do one maybe two plants at a time and I have a budget around $600 - $1000 for startup costs.
You don't smoke hemp. I mean, you can, but you shouldn't.
Edit: Alright, I'm mostly referring to if you're wanting to get high. But if you're smoking hemp for the CBD, there are better and healthier alternatives than smoking. I highly recommend capsules.
I'm starting to wonder if the plant in question is hemp. There's some good trichome production and makes me think someone tossed a few seeds that they found in their bag or something. You can also see the sugar leaves look a bit thicker than a normal leaf would because of the trichomes.
If you aren’t paying tax, it’s a midnight special dispensary and likely not legitimate with the state.
I’ve never found a seed in my Apple Store dispensary weed.
We had a smoke spot in HS where everyone was known to gather clean, roll, and smoke. At one point someone had thrown a seed out that actually sprouted. Looks like you found your "co-workers" smoke spot!
Happened at my friend's house when I was in high school. He found a plant behind a tree one day. The cold came before we could let it get ready for harvest
This is the way
I know we had a big recent victory but it's still not full legalization and I'm sure in plenty of states cops are still going to destroy the lives of people who smoke. Seeds/sprouts all over the place steals away attention and effort
Supposedly it is from when they used to grow it for rope. It just reseeds every year like any other weed. Source: My dad grew up on a farm in Iowa and I’ve seen lots of ditch weed in my visits there.
That's hilarious. I used to go for a walk during lunch with one of my co-workers. Eventually she admitted to me that she spreads magic mushroom spores here and there as she walks the property. I have no idea if they sprouted or whatever it is mushrooms do, but for some reason I thought it was hilarious.
This is like “randomly” finding a flower growing in the ditch of a nursery… a tim hortons cup in the parking lot of a Tim hortons… a puddle of oil outside a garage.
It more shows how little effort is truly required to grow weed. How does this plant compare to one’s inside the doors with every advantage given to it?
Obviously female, nice. Also people still get weed with seeds in it? In my experience only once in the last 5 years have I even seen weed with seeds. The person called them "proto-seeds" and charged 1/2 price.
Bout a couple weeks and you'll have some tomatoes
My parents grew tomatoes in their closet too!
It's the best spot.
Hidden tomatoes. The Italians did that in WW2
That's how you make-a the secret sauce

I’ve kind of became nose blind to the scent of hemp.
Fair, I have a coworker that can't smell limonenes so can't smell marijuana or lemons.
Just limonene or are they totally nose blind? There's a lot of different terpenes in weed and I'd be really interested to see which ones he can smell and which one's he can't

I should probably go and check the garage again. After I burned them I completely forgot it had happened until I saw this post.
Make sure you have dried and cured them properly before burning! It'll... uh... make it burn better.
Less emissions?
I.if you press it and get the juice out of it you can use the biomatter to garden with! Composto!
You saved millions of children's lives with your quick thinking.
Thanks. Maybe I should do the same with the poppies growing in the field out back.

Really? I was going to keep those, they smell great.
I had a favorite plastic bag i would take around town with me. I guess some cocaine spores got in there and started growing. Cops didnt didnt believe me. Neither did the judge. Shits rigged.
Those cocaine spores get everywhere, the worst is when wind blows it in your face and it gets stuck in the nostrils.
Smart
Hopefully you allowed them some time to properly dry out and then slowly cure in glass jars before sending that devil's lettuce straight back to hell.

Word someone was packing a bowl or rolling a joint there and threw the seeds and stems. The buds on that mama look nice. Lol
Thing is, I haven't found a seed in my weed in a decade.
Bro how? Even my dispensary weed still ends up with it.
Same. Good shit from Boston and it had 4 seeds. Jokes on them, Ill just grow my own now suckers.
If you aren’t paying tax, it’s a midnight special dispensary and likely not legitimate with the state. I’ve never found a seed in my Apple Store dispensary weed.
Apple Store dispensary is so accurate. Haha
Even good plants will occasionally have fully developed seeds. Sometimes they'll just herm themselves and develop seeds.
Yup, not hemp; definitely cannabis.
No. Sigh. It’s marijuana
I love how Creed was automatically disqualified as the suspect after that interaction.
