Try this one: Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Very easy to grow hardly needs any attention. Used as a fence/hedge plant in any soil imaginable.

Cassava cakes are the best cakes in the world too - I'll post a recipe if anyone is interested. Take care of your security and your munchies...

Hi.

Great idea. I'm a noobie to growing my own and have a nice indoor setup but the temptation to grow outdoors is huge. I tend to have lots of veggie and flower gardens so this year I'll sneak a delicacy plant or two in. Thanks for the advice!

You got that right onlyoneman. they sure do - and for what? Because you want to grow a plant!? I mean does that sound stupid to anyone else? The cops knock themselves out raiding people like me, growing a few plants because the divorce courts have siphoned off so much of my paycheck to my ex wife I can't pay my bills none the less buy my stuff. So i got a huge tax return (only upside to huge lawyer bills - tho still a 3-1 loss $ for $), bought a nice hydro setup and tent for inside and planted a bunch of seeds for my huge yard. And I'm a hard working scientist with advanced degrees - let's put all that time in school to some real good use now!

i found some plants growing in the woods behind my house and need to know what they are. if its marijuana i need to pull it so my grandmas dont freak out. sorry if theyre a little blurry, the camera on my cell isnt the greatesst, but the info would be greatly appreciated :D oh and i dont know if it will help but they do have small white hairs growing all the way up the stem and if you look at the leaves at the right angle they look like they have little crystals all over them you just cant really see it in the pictures.View attachment 2183292View attachment 2183293View attachment 2183294View attachment 2183295View attachment 2183296View attachment 2183297View attachment 2183298View attachment 2183299View attachment 2183300View attachment 2183301View attachment 2183302
Did you ever get a response on this? We have the same thing in our backyard!

Actually... Stinging nettles add certain microbial bacteria that is healthy and good for soils and root production..

they are related, thats why you can't eat uncooked pot without getting a stomoch ache, once i took a few buds form my grow and stuck them under my shirt as i walked out of the woods, when i got home my stomoch was covered in welts. not as painfull but definatly related, as for bigger buds, i seriously doubt that could be true... but ya never know.

20160412_163607.jpg 20160412_163737.jpg I found several of these growing wild in my yard. Anyone know what they could be? If you look closely there are small hairs on the stems and back of the leaves.

I've been trying to think of the benefits of trying to camouflage weed with a weed-looking plant? I know on the one hand you could use it as a diversion tactic if you're actually there and someone spots your weed but at the same time, doesn't it actually draw more attention to the weed because it looks like a larger canopy of weed? What about mixing some exotic flowers in there to make it look like they're actually growing from the marijuana plant, would that perhaps be more effective in a small garden?

My husband and I found this while walking in a state park in lower Michigan today. Someone I know who smokes a lot of weed said this isn't pot, but "Michigan Hemp." I can't find a think about "Michigan Hemp" and all of my other friends who are pot smokers said this is indeed weed. It was only about a foot high today, no scent, and what appeared to be buds or leaf clusters at tips that looked like potential buds. What say you? Thanks in advance.

Could be hemp or weed I think. The main difference between them is the THC and CBD content but otherwise they look very similar. Hemp has low THC and high CBD, weed has the opposite.

Hemp is legal to grow in Michigan for industrial research so it's been spreading around since then. http://norml.org/legal/item/michigan-hemp-law

Hey guys, I'm in Sydney Australia and I recently found this to add to your list. What do you think it is? Leaves look exactly like bud but it smells a lot like mint. Researched plants that look similar to bud and different mint species, but only bud leaves seem to have this distinctive texture and appearance! Any help would be appreciated :)received_1915113092109082.jpeg received_1915118555441869.jpeg

Sorry i havnt a pick , but the south african marigold , is a dead ringer , a tad darker in color
They discharge a toxin thru there roots that will control nemotoades in the soil

A cop was trying to serve a warrant next door to me 85 yr old dad & saw these growing, after a week he had to come back & appologise, as the test results were negative for canna

Thanks so much for the quick reply man, after googling a few Marigold varieties I found out it's definitely not weed, but a Peruvian Marigold plant! glad I didn't smoke any now

Cheers & take care!
