I too am a lone grower. Mrs. mota, who in her past used to smoke (and drink), no longer does. I’m an outdoor grower exclusively, and because of the shape of the yard, its east/west alignment, and the surrounding trees, I must move my plants (in 10 gallon pots) multiple times a day. Mrs. mota works at a job. I’m retired. Wouldn’t be fair if I asked her to help. Plus I need the physical exercise.

Mostly my deal. The missus is happy to have me out of her hair, but sure likes to indulge. Now my grandson Weston loves to help. He’s 5. Had his own tools. Helps mix soil in a plastic pool and fill my pots. That’s huge for my back. Helps with compost tea. What kid wouldn’t love spraying “worm poop juice” on plants! Good company more than anything. But real help. Start them young. Gardening is cool. Good for the heart and soul.

Had a friend for a couple years that would come and hang with me while tending plants 2-3 times a week, honestly it’s not been the same since he moved away. My wife has 0 interest in growing cannabis. She doesn’t help with anything except consumption. Some help again would be nice, and his visits made me get off my ass. So I’m back to being a lone grower.

Here’s one you won’t hear too often… I have a partner… I have the green thumb and enjoy growing things, but I don’t smoke. It makes me cough and triggers my bronchitis, so my partner foots the costs and enjoys the smoke… sometimes I eat a brownie but I am not fond of feeling out of control, so it’s rare.

Every time i ask my wife to smell my finger, she gives me this accusatory look like I was out gutting fish or playing in the compost bin. 20 years we’ve been together and the closest thing I’ve ever done to this was had her smell a cutting (her reaction was EPIC! ) so someone scarred her when she was young.

True… I don’t like feeling drunk either.
If I’m at a party or having fun with friends, I don’t mind the feeling of being a little high or a bit drunk… but to smoke alone and then feel like the chemicals are forcing me to grin like an idiot or laugh at something I normally wouldn’t find funny? Not appealing.
So? More for my partner. I’m ok with that. I love raising my green babies.
Btw… @joheimgrohen I love the way they smell when growing or freshly cut! Not so crazy about the way they smell when being burned (aka smoked) but I guess we can’t have everything! LoL.

My couple doesn’t know, but she knows that I have grown time ago and that I will grow again.
But for now the 2 first rules of the fight club.

My wife had always told me she wasn’t interested and wanted nothing to do with my grows despite her enjoying the buds.
I called her down last grow and was just like, “hey come check out my plants” and she just started yanking dead leaves and cleaning up the canopy. LOL

This is why I don’t drink or do L anymore. I don’t like the “drunk/out of control” feeling they give me. So I’m the DD for the wife when we go out.

I’m driving, but my mate’s always ready to take the wheel. She smokes (-no dabs or bong hits. -joints, vapes or pipes only) and although she’s famous in our circles for her cookies, candies and other confectioneries, she will only occasionally consume an edible. She’s totally supportive and always helps with trimming, watering, pruning, and is 100% in charge of edibles. We make strain selections together. Her tastes run sweet. Mine skunky…we trade off…it’s a happy existence.

my wife was/is always a full member in my operation 
she used to help much more, but she still does as good as she can.
before the MS:
she helped cleaning tents and scisorrs, helped watering plants and
to this day is still my no.1 test-smoker, since she is the only person
i actually made all these seeds for, lol. she is my main inspiration 
actually, WE are “SANsemillas” the latest haze-lines were her creation
she always helps by cleaning, smoking, selecting … and also nagging (lol)
this picture is kinda sexist (haha) but she enjoy to help in every possible way.
we are a team and both clean same amount, but this is the only pic i have of
her in the cabs without showing her face, lol.

Lone grower here. She reluctantly accepts it, but does not participate or partake. At this stage of our lives, we are what we are, but I do often wish she showed a bit of interest in this part of my life.
I’ll give her this - about 30 years ago I had to put cannabis to the side because of job stuff. It was hard. At the time I had a dozen mason jars full and was having trouble keeping my hands out of it. So i told my wife to get rid of It to assure i didnt get myself in trouble …
Fast forward 25 years (yes, my absence was that long), on my retirement day, my wife presents me with the box of full mason jars. I thought she tossed it, but she actually hid it in the attic. Now, 25 years of heat was not kind to that bud, but I think it was my wife’s way of saying “Welcome back” .
So while my situation is far from ideal, it ain’t that bad either. But i do wish i had a trim partner…

Lone but not Lonely here at Casa Grouch!
My Saintly Spouse doesn’t partake but is wonderfully supportive and indulgent in the time and expense I put into cannabis. That has been the pattern for many of my passions over the last 40 years together: surfing, boats, fly fishing, RV travel…
I consider myself incredibly lucky.

PS, great topic LadyZ, I’m enjoying hearing everyone’s stories!

I’m the grower & she’s the smoker… She has some interest in seeing things grow, but that’s about it. No internet in how/why the plants grow, all Cannabis regardless all taste/Smell like “weed” no disintion for smell/taste haha.
She never touches the plants at all, it’s my thing. She juts wants the end product lol

My gf leaves me to it. She doesn’t partake aside from salve I make for her and the occasional hit of something with a high CBD content. She’s actually got a ton of gardening experience and has grown everything from contest winning giant pumpkins to beans you’ve never heard of. She had an interest in learning about growing weed since I was doing it but I tend to only grow a few plants at a time so there isn’t a ton to do. I’m also a pretty lazy grower who doesn’t feed all that often so other than staying on top of training all I’m really doing is PHing water every other day.
There was one grow where I handed her a seedling and told her this is your project, I’ll help you if you have any questions obviously but it’s all you. She was super happy about it but she declined my persistent “advice” to top the friggin thing multiple times and the next thing I knew her monster was taking up the 2x4 we were growing in and squeezing my plant out. She was not happy with the emergency surgery and training required so that was the end of that.
