Seriously, I am tired of the stereotypes of leftists in the west looking like they all grow soy beans, as the fash call it ie weak as fuck. And almost to a large degree, it’s true.

I see chuds everywhere when I go to the community garden, and their plants are fucking huge ngl. They take care of their tomatoes. I don't care if you're growing potatoes, cucumbers, squash, artichokes, you have to have those fruits and leaves fucking huge and shooting to the sky and looking good. You want to help the cause? Help yourself. Do it for vanity, do it for others, do it for the greater good, I don’t care. Fucking weed and fertilize the best you can and get those veggies the biggest they can be.

It’s hard, but so is literally everything. Just know this is going to take 3-4 years of consistency. If you’re starting out, don’t worry about a garden layout, and just plant good shit. Your biggest goal at this point is consistency, watering 5 days a week. Do that over 3-4 years, and progressive growth every single day whether that be lettuce or whatever.

I want you fuckers to be fucking vain jesus fuck. Fuck your organics, use Miracle Grow for all I care, but have a green thumb while doing it. Slowly start doing more functional things such as eggplant or mushrooms w/e to truly maximise your gardening potential.

my weed is growing strong outdoors. it's basically my first time growing it. didn't have money for seeds, but my weed came with seeds already in it, so who can blame me for planting them?

and me n my community have a bunch of food growing. it's our first year growing much, but it's going pretty well. struggling with the fact there has been a drought for 4 years and all the water fucked off, but we're learning to cope with it.

Hell yeah, I'd just recommend keeping an eye out for infestations, I've had trouble with caterpillars, mites and scales at different times. The caterpillars are particularly aggravating because they literally shit all over your buds.

ty for the advice unfortunately i am stuck in a shittier country for the next week and a half. my weed is basically just living off of a thing i learned a while back, where you put water into a ceramic pot in the ground and the water passes through the walls of the pot slowly to reach the roots. we are in a v bad place with water and can't really spare any rn. it's been doing incredibly well all considering. but it seems to like the outside, particularly since i watched my friend kill some indoor weed he was growing a few years ago. but when i get back we're gonna sort it out (the water situation)
