Flower Fever....Anyone Else Suffering?

This is a cool new forum, the existence of which I just noticed!

I have to admit that I am addicted to growing flowers!
It is because I had so much fun with the process of raising beautiful cannabis flowers that I became interested in trying to grow some other types of plants.
Then I got hooked!

This season I started indoors in mid February with floros and 400W MH.

I have so many seed packs that it is tough to decide what to start.

I use containers and in-ground plots.

Some of my favorites are:
Zinnias
Tithonia
Sunflowers
Coleus
Nicotiana
Lobelia
Torennia
Shasta Daisy
Snapdragon
Alyssum

These are some I am trying this season for first time:

Nasturtium
Hollyhocks
African Marigold
African Daisy
Angelonia
Amaranthus

Loads of others I will be sowing outside directly in soil when it is warm enough here.

I am curious to see if anyone else at rollitup is similarly afflicted….*lol*

Wavels

i grow melons.

I've always had this, sort of like my own private dream spa, with gorgeous exotic flowers grown all the way around the room, a good steam bath, maybe a few different strains of green growing, that'd be the tightest shit dude... Imagine, growing your own aromatherapy

i grow a beautiful flower called Marijuana

i am trying to grow my owen herbs for cooking. have some basil growing now next to my ganja plant both are doing good my smoke plant is starting to auto flower its great to see that she is a girl not a boy. will have to try to clone her

word. I started a propagation garden in my garage for lots of perennials and even annuals. i think the little seedling heads popping up is the coolest thing. my wife got me into plants and now i'm hooked.

i have built a 2 bin compose pile, a worm farm is on the way, and i'm learning bonsai.

supposedly, a study showed gardeners have greater bone density then marathon runners. it is supposed to be one of the most healthy, relaxing and rejuvinating activities around.

I tell you, those *&^%($ tomato plants are going to have to go. This weekend they are out of here. VV

Hi VV, are your tomatoes still indoors?.....They must be taking over by now?

Hey closet, yea, it is a thrill to see the little seeds come to life...It is tons of fun to try different types of plants. Some seeds are much harder to start than others, it feels good to nurture the little plants to their potential, I especially enjoy the emergence of the buds and the development of the buds into flowers.

Hi UserF... I have grown watermelons a few times, but I have never tried growing any other type of melons....What is your favorite?

Oh, my favorite plant to grow is still cannabis....it was my "gateway" plant!

any1 else here grow the good poppies?

i'm growing lettuce, tomatoes, basil and sunflowers - love it

Hi Wavels, glad this forum made it!

i'm growing some lavender for the first time, and two types of poppy. i will soon take some cuttings of morning glory and try to propagate new vines.

last year our sunflowers didn't turn out very well but trying again.

Beautiful photo 7x, nicely done

we have a very nice garden that produces galric basil tomatoes carrots green beans, snow peas, and onions. once a year we get a nice pineapple

I have the flower power too! I am new to the marijuana though. My 1st hydro grow is in week 5 veg right now. Check it out.
I grow all kinds of flowers, roses are my favorite. Dahlias, peonies, all kinds of perenials. I have all sorts of bulbs, some look stunning right now. More bulbs too come yet. Hostas, ferns, clamatis, vines, small trees etc. You name I got in my gardens.

Gardening is my escape from the world.

Hi Chiceh, Gardening is quite addictive.
I think that with your experience, you will find ganja to be relatively easy to cultivate....good luck with your first bud harvest.

My peonies are coming up nicely, I staked them up with hoops yesterday, as the little buds are forming, and the flowers get so big they need help staying upright.
I am preparing my beds for putting my plants in soon ( about a week or so)
I started a bunch more seeds a couple of days ago....


Howdy 7x, what kind of sunflowers did you plant? Some of the shorter hybrids are loads of fun...There are dozens of different types of sunflowers...decisions decisions....aah!

I will try and post some pics of some of my plants later on....

My 6 year old and I are putting in our garden this week. I hope its not to late (we are in northern ohio). We are going to plant corn, carrots, tomatoes, okra, onions, sunflowers, green beans, water mellons, and cucumbers. We are getting a late start but I think that we will be ok.

Hi Wavels,
I moved my peonies in the fall, they are coming up nicely. I sure hope they bloom this year. My rose tree didn't make it throught the winter. No green anywhere. Boo hoo. All my other rose are a nice greeny red, ready to start growing. I just got some stuff from my sister in-law today. I took in our of her garden. Some sedam and daylillies. Everything else is loving this nice weather and coming alive. All the hostas are coming, bleeding hearts, columbines, lillies ( I love my lillies). I have some many varieties. The clamatis the rabbit destroyed is coming alive too!
Spring is so great! I have bulbs galore in bloom now!
Can you recomend a great flowering tree without fruit that won't too big? I have clay soil which I have to every year top up with triple mix in my gardens.

I've been wanting to grow flowers since the local flower shops are not only massively expensive, but also have completely shit quality flowers. What kind of flowers would be good to use in something like this?

Also, would rock wool be better than neoprene and pebbles, and is rock wool able to be re-used or is it torn up too much by the roots of flowers, cannabis, whatever is in there?

anybody ever use lava rock for a grow medium.............chuck
