Am I the only weirdo?

Ever since I was a young boy I’ve had a fascination with plants. I remember going to my great aunt’s farm in rural Georgia and wandering the vegetable fields. I would gaze and study there various structures. Then, while in high school, I started my own little vegetable patch. I grew tomatoes, various peppers and even tried growing broccoli. I would sit out beside that little patch for hours, just gazing at the plants. This has continued to this day. I absolutely love planting a garden and sitting beside it and watching my grow. Well, this has really gotten worse since I’ve started my own cannabis plant. Every day, I open up the tent, pull over the chair and study that beautiful girl for quite a while. Yes, I’m a weirdo! But there’s something totally fascinating about her structure and form that I just love. Are there any other people that are weirdos like me?

Your not a weirdo. We evolved side by side with that natural world the plant kingdom has always been our main means of survival. It's normal to love beneficial plants. It's normal to enjoy the unfolding of a process. It's normal to be drawn to beautiful things, to be fascinated by life and to be loving and protective of that which you labor over. Not a weirdo at all, just a normal person well intune with their place/role in the universe and has found one of their personal passions

The current evolved humans are approximately 200k years old. 99.99% of that time we spent with nature around us 24/7.

Most people live in cities, which is grey and has a small amount of nature, with artifical lights, people living in small spaces and averaging poorer air quality overall.

We worry about animals living in artifical living spaces, but for humans it is ok? Suicide rates are higher in cities compared to people in the country, and I believe the reason is the living conditions.

Like others have said, humans crave being around nature. We came from the Earth and we have a symbiotic relationship with nature. Taking that away makes us more depressed. You finding comfort in nature is a major human trait that many ignore or pretend they don't need.

Wear glasses. It's HORRIBLE for your eyes staring at your indoor lit plants, especially if you have your lights cranked up.

Agree! I've always loved plants since I was a little kid, but for me, it was specifically the smells and aromas. Even tomato plants, there's this almost briefcase-leather smell to some tomato leaves. The smell of the landscaping trimmed at the grocery store, which often had society garlic & when cut had an almost weed-like garlicky aroma. The smell of popping a rose petal in your hand. Overgrown jasmine wafting from down the block.

HID is just as bad, if not worse due to its selective spectrum. Be careful, you guys. In and out of the garden with urgency; if you're gona hang out under the lights, use eye protection ;)

I used and loved my Method 7s for HID growing. Please get them and use them. HLG sent me a new pair of spectrum correct Method 7s for my new LED light. It makes growing in there so peaceful and relaxing and I can enjoy it sans guilt.

I have garden shades I never use, I dim led instead. It is like blurple vision, I cannot see the plant very well with them on. As for gazing, me too, I started a mini grow just because of it. I just don’t want a full size garden yet. I want everything to go right when I do.

I use my grow room glasses more often when I'm weed whacking, or running power tools now, because I seemed to have lost 10+ pairs of safety glasses, which is weird. When I work with indoor plants, I always just shut off or dim the lights, and have backup work lighting for all the rooms.
