Thread: Your Wives, Husbands, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Partners..

  1. Default Your Wives, Husbands, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Partners..

    I've been very lucky that my wife is very supportive in my passion for growing, and sure at the start she had her concerns, and I always let her know that I would always only grow enough for the two of us and she has fully backed me in that decision over the many years, and also enjoyed the home grown that's come with it. She's helped me with my lights, hold pots, washed, cleaned equipment and much more!!.. always harvesting alongside me, and I always let her know I appreciate her, and do the same with any of her hobbies/passions.

    Over the years she's also had to endour listening to me rambling on and on about my thoughts and ideas on growing, not to mention the spending that comes with it!

    I do understand not everyones partner is happy about it though, especially reading some posts from members over the years, so I know we most likely have a mixture of this on the forum.


    How does your partner feel about you growing now and when you first started?, any conditions you have to keep to?..share with us here

    My old lady really isn't a fan, she puts up with it for my sake though.

    If you don't mind sharing, what are her concerns Deku and does she enjoy weed at all or she dislikes it in general?, and do you have a certain set of rules you stick by to keep her happy with it all?

    I always told Mrs Ice I would stick with 4 plants max at a time, and to only grow enough for ourselves.

    She just doesn't like that it's illegal, she worries about her getting in trouble for my hobby, and she very rarely will either smoke or eat an edible.

    Understandable, but respect to her for at least allowing you to do something you enjoy despite her own reservations..an unselfish decision, which is very kind of her.

    My wife is pretty laid back about things... so long as there's no smell or noise

    As long as I smoke outdoors mine doesn’t have a problem.

    She has helped with the odd thing now and again through this current grow, such as giving them a drink if I’m not around that day and she will stick
    her head in there on hot days and let me know temps etc

    Now if only I could get her to lend a helping hand on trimming/cutting once finished lol

    My Mrs. is a bit paranoid about it, but she never complains about the quality of the smoke

    I spent many years growing for just my wife. Up until this past January I was getting tested at least 3 times a year at work. It's really hard not sampling what you've grown yourself. My wife knows good smoke and has always been an honest critic. I relied on her experiences and opinions to make adjustments. I no longer get tested so now we can enjoy our harvests together. It's so much better this way.

    My wifes role is to fill in when I am away for work. Generally speaking, I give a good watering on Sunday and fill the can for her to water on Tuesdays. There are other chores on occasion, but she is primarily a waterer. She loves our plants, but her thumbs are not very green. Her strengths are she is very regimented and has an amazing attention to detail. I know I don't have to worry when I'm away because she is on top of things. She isn't into growing like I am, but she appreciates that it's one of my passions. I love when we check out the plants together. She does a good job showing interest in my long winded rambles. Cannabis has definitely given us a common interest that we enjoy together. I still have a hard time convincing her to empty out the old jars for compost so we can make room for the new stuff.
