RE: Grow Diaries 2024 #14 General: Nature vs Nurture

Looking super healthy!

I try my best to take a less is more approach with cannabis, but then again there's nothing really natural about how I grow cannabis.

Creating an artificial environment can also create problems that would not happen in nature.

Nothing compares to the five fingered five toed creature that roams around in the night looking for entire plants to uproot when they're at their optimal harvest time.

Growing weed outdoors where it's meant to grow seems fun though, maybe one day I'll get the opportunity to grow weed outdoors if those five fingered five toed creatures can ever recover from the sickness that's ravaged their souls.

Looking forward to seeing these beauties plump up! Great work!

Sort:  

but then again there's nothing really natural about how I grow cannabis.

Yeah, the lamps are very artificial 😅. Since it's legal, I see no reason to grow indoors, other than the one you mentioned.
In fact, I think growing under lamps is kind of... silly. In an earlier post I discussed all this...

I got a 1500m² garden in the middle of nowhere (no electricity, no water) and in an ideal world, I'd just grow some 100 plants and select for the best and breed....
Little work, no cost, no pollution, no overhead, no worries.

I got this 2 m² south-facing balcony here, some stories up, in an apartment complex.
If some five fingered creature managed to get up here to touch the plants, I'd be very impressed.

While I feel what you are saying, I am opposed to the mindset that 'the humans are the problem' - It's so cynical, it hurts my soul. Maybe I'll write about this someday, but my hand hurts and that's a long story...

Thank you for the response. I hope the issues with your hand get better, and hope you're able to get some relief from the pain.

I suppose growing in an artificial environment where it's legal to cultivate is rather silly when factoring in the costs and efficiency of everything. I really can't disagree with this logic.

I also cannot disagree that the "humans are the problem" mindset is cynical, and currently I am very cynical and feel humans very much are the problem and need to come to grips with the fact that we live in a negatively charged world because we make it that way.

People are constantly scheming up on my cannabis in predatory ways and think I don't see through their greedy evil ploys in real time. I'm sick of it, and yes this creates a cynical feeling towards people because I cannot safely grow cannabis outdoors where I live because of people. How could I not blame people for being like this?

Everyone has fee will of choice the last time I checked, and that means people can choose to be good instead of bad...

I realized that when you occupy your mind with the question: 'what's the problem?', you will inevitably and always come to the conclusion that the humans are the problem.
It leads down a spiral of cynicism, bitterness and hate.
You will end up in a dark place.

Once I stopped looking for the 'problem' and just accepted things for what they are, I felt so much relief.
There is no problem.
That's my mantra.
Sure: There are obstacles, questions... but there is no general problem with human life on this planet.

I think there are different ways to arrive at this conclusion... You just need to find your own way to get there. Or don't. I am a terrible preacher, sadly. I know I am right, though.

Life's is the best thing we have, including everything that comes with it.
I refuse to spend any more time of my life looking for 'the problem'.
I can really recommend it 🙂

...just let go, you know?
