Apart from the obvious what is your favourate thing about growing?

I'm nearly done in my first grow and today I opened my tent put some music on for the old ladies (Ambrose and his orchestra) while having my morning medication and as I gazed upon them I thought to myself "I grew those, I sang to them and nurtured them and look at them now" .
I have loved it all tbh even the times when I was worried and when away from them for 4/5 days the first thing I did was check up on them.
I'm so glad I have found my green fingers and just wish I could grow the plant as a job lol.
So glad I found 420 forums also you guys rock .

Awesome congrats. I'm on my 6th grow now have been doing it for 3 years now. My fav thing about this hobby is the fact that I don't have to pay for my meds and just have it around me all the time. Thing is I get really sad on the day of harvest when I have to cut them down because of all the nurturing and love I have given them.

Hi Monkeygun,

Can completely identify with the sense of accomplishment experienced from growing, and I share your appreciation for the 420 Magazine site. GREAT group of folks!

In addition to the things you mentioned, I have to confess to enjoying a sense of civil disobedience and perhaps quiet activism from growing. I have long thought prohibiting the publics' access to cannabis to be an incredibly ludicrous (Adj: so foolish, unreasonable, or out of place as to be amusing) idea and so rebeling against that by engaging in growing, feels like I've ever so slightly righted a wrong, at least as far as it affects the lives of myself and family.

Be well, happy harvest, and cheers to many successful future grows for us all!

About a month ago, it was wet and cold and drizzly in N California (not complaining, we really NEED the water). But my arthritus hurt and I was achy and stiff (and not in a good way).

I hobbled out to my 'garden' that is in a seperate building. Went into the room where it was 78 degrees, 40% Rh. It was like walking into a rain forest in S. America. Oxygen rich atmosphere, warm, green. I watered and fimmed and preened and pruned for about two hours. I sat down and realized that I was not in pain any more. My joints were looser, the pain was almost gone and I thought "I love my life".

To me, every part of my garden is good for me. Caring for my girls is good for me.

Watch the grass grow.
I love to open the door of the cabinet and stare my baby dancing in the wind for a long time.
