I had to learn the hard way that Cannabis is in fact and entry drug. 2 years ago with German legalization I grew my first plant and now I am really into gardening and botany and learning more about plants and ecology. I'm even a lot more attentive to just random plants growing at the side of the road

@philphi similar with me and homebrewing beer. It started as the most legal way to get some booze and now I'm in to food tech.
@philphi i seriously need to get growing before some asshole outlaws it in my US state again. I really need to find new seedstock.
@philphi
In the US we call it a "gateway" drug.
@RealGene ah damn that was the word... ah well, seems like enough people understood me. If I had known the post would be seen by 100s of people, I might have done some proof reading^^'
@philphi I'm rooting for your recovery.
Sorry.

@philphi

Great to see. Naming plants is a superpower. Unite against plant blindness.

@philphi

nice. I just harvested my first plant.

@Dave_Goldsmith nice! Was it outdoor grown? How did it turn out?

@philphi

Yes it was grown outdoors but my property is covered with tall poplar trees so my plants didn't get enough sun. I am told you can get up to a pound of bud per pot plant-- I got maybe a quarter of that yield.

BUT-- what I got is GOOD, ONE-HIT POT-- and enough to last me for decades!

@Dave_Goldsmith yeah made similar experiences. Even with a very basic grow setup you just end up getting enough weed for years and even if it doesn't look like "Cali weed", it can be extremely nice
@philphi You're really contributing to the down slide of humanity. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@philphi That's it? That's your first post? XD
Very cute, if true I'm a little jealous, because I kill any potted plants I get.
@philphi I grew for a few years and really got into identification of strains through the Marijuana Botany book. It made me a better gardener outside and helped me build bushes and trees out better through proper pruning.
@philphi
I miss my weed plants. I always failed to get a high, seedless yield because I love to just let them go wild and grow into huge trees

@philphi Few appreciate the cannabis to horticulture pipeline.

But it is real.

And it is awesome.

@philphi Welcome to the Hotel Botany. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

@philphi
See what happens when exposed to the devils lettuce🤪
@philphi yeah, you start with cannabis and before long you grow tomatoes and basil.
@philphi ok ok so maybe you’re the fedi guy I’ve been looking for. How do I know it’s time to cut and dry the plants? It’s the first time I’ve ever grown my own so I’m not sure exactly what I should be looking for.
@philphi It starts with a little cannabis, and the next thing you know, you're growing heirloom tomatoes.
@philphi Your lead-in sentence mislead me in such an interesting way!
