The grow Im doing right now is not my first, but Im now were near being anything but a novice. Id like to know how much time do you ( growing gurus) spend in your grow room? I find myself just sitting in my room watching my 8 little plants grow. I realize there is real gardening that needs to be done, but I know Im spending too much time there. How about you how much time do you spend with your plants?

Sounds like you are more of a "gardener" than "farmer" meaning you are more interested in the plants and their growth than the end product as a commodity...speaking for myself I have spent plenty of time at peace in the garden (sort of a biblical metaphore eh?)...I suspect many others do the same

im in mine all the time, checking them out, cleaning, dreaming of the day when they are done. probably on average i spend a hour a day watching my girls. its a beautiful thing

I stare at mine a good bit too. It's kind of like when I first got a roomba. I spent more time watching it go about the room then it would have taken to just vacuum myself.

well i passed out drunk and stoned and woke up in my growroom. dose that count for "gardening" lol

That's just too funny dude.

I do actually love to spend time with my ladies. It makes me feel good too.
Peace

Scott ,Interesting you use the word "biblical". I used to know a commiceral grower ( 3 12x12 rooms, wall to wall plants) that once told me growing was a religion. Glad to see Im not the only one watching their plants grow. Dont get me wrong this is a money thing, I just cant afford to buy my medicine at a clinic any more.

Fman,
What a good question. When I am with my outdoor plants, I find the hours I spend, are very spiritually uplifting and very enjoyable. I guess the anticipation of the flowers arriving is the motivation, and the first deep breath of the fall aromas. The indoor grows are pretty much all business, I check the room twice a day and water/fert as needed. I do get stoned to the be-Jesus once in a while, and just stair and observe growth and stuff.

I was just wondering what other people do. My wife teases me ,and then tells me "Go to your room" ,like im some kind of child. But she knows it will be worth it in a couple of months. Yea Im only about 5 weeks into veg and its starting to smell real nice in the room.

Fman,
Ya we all do it, I think its part of the bug that has bit us all. Welcome to the freak show, you are one also. LOL in a good way

Hey... When I had a veggie garden a bunch of years ago, I spent a lot of time in it, playing in the dirt, escaping the craziness of the house. All that time paid off. I had a huge harvest with more veggies than we could've eaten in a year. We ended up giving quite a bit away. I will probably spend "too much" of my free time in it.

Right now, I poke my head in the closet at least 6 times a day. It could be my imagination, but I notice the little changes in my babies every time I do.

BTW -- isn't spending all that time in the grow room good for the kids? I mean, the Co2 that you're adding?

I wish I had a better vocabulary to describe what I'm feeling when I with my plants in the patch. Maybe when I go up to see them this weekend I will focus and write them down. lol

Nothing like catching a good buzz and glaring at the ladies during all stages of growth
I like cloning the best(you get to start all over again) It's like playing god I chose which ones will live on.

Damn Dude! I never knew my wife had another...sister! That is exactly what my wife says...

I spend MUCHO time with my kids, although right now they are all in flower so we can't chat for as many hours each day, but I enjoy just sitting out in the rooms and enjoying the ambiance...often bringing a good book out with me, enjoying a fat bowl (or 4), and spending a few hrs. out there. I think Moby Dick was a bit "deep" for the gals, but they seemed to like Tom Clancy stuff..

I am in my grow/flower area every chance I get. It is a spiritual thing. Even with my outdoor "regular" flower garden. I can be in the dirt, weeding in the hot sun, and enjoy it. All my plants get much love and attention. But, the "secret garden" gets somewhat more.

Pappy

i really think i love it because i know its illegal and its something i have to keep hid from everyone! its like me against the pot haters of the world! and i have to keep my lovelys safe from the evil goverment!.
