practice plants

i convinced my girl to let me plant flowers in our backyard. my main reason for during this is to get some practice on gardening before i even try to grow cannabis. so my question is what would be the best plant to grow that would give me an idea on how to grow cannabis.

Orchids!!!

Tomatoes man.

Seconding tomatoes. Like Pot, the plants are fast-growing, thirsty, smelly and sticky, and they love fertilizer but not too much.

thanks for the suggestions. this is what i love about this site if i have questions i can get an answer minutes later

Practice with bagseed

Nice thing about tomatoes is that they also belong to the Rosids family. Orchids are monocots (MJ is a dicot) and actually tend to be finicky if grown from seeds, not to mention that orchid seeds are almost the size of dust particles. Many orchid seeds also require erocoid fungi present on their seed coats in order to germinate. I'm not trying to cut down finallylegal, who suggested Orchids, I'm just saying that genetically, they're not the best match. It's a perfectly legitimate suggestion. Technically, based on phylogeny, you should practice with growing Humulus lupus (aka Hops), but they grow on a vine, which definitely wouldn't give you the experience you're looking for in this case. Good luck with your practicing and your eventual first grow! In my opinion, just jump right in, immersion is the fastest way to learn because you learn by necessity.

All I'm saying is if you can grow an orchid, you can grow almost anything!

growing marijuana is not a difficult task. with the right knowledge, its actually almost as easy as just watering the damn thing.

Once all conditions are dialed in, there is nothing to it really, except waiting =X !

If you wanna grow flowers or whatever for practise, thats cool ... but I mean I never grew a plant before I started growing marijuana, and my first crop came out BOMB

lol, good point, I hadn't considered that!

Another for tomatos. They are pretty similiar in how you care for the plants.
