Mine complains about where I throw out fan leaves and stems. Sometimes I’m lazy and throw them on the side of the porch. Since she grows to I get to complain about coco being everywhere
Honestly, as long as I’m not being a stupid dummy, nothing. Like if I say “I’m gonna check my plants, give me 5 mins” then proceed to disappear for an hour, yeah she’s not happy, but I “back in an hour!” and stick to it, she’s fine.
We are sort of an odd couple. She is a church type lady, spiritual but not religious at all.
Has been singing in the church choir since a teen.
I was from the other side of the tracks, on construction sites since I was 14. Been in the game since then, on and off, if a profit could be made from a thing, I’d find someone that wanted it.
My lost soul tinker fool side of me gets to her at times. Now we give each other space, so when she hears me babbling about a change to one of the countless set ups, I whacked together, I get a big eye roll, inevitably saying, AGAIN? Just let it be!
Just now 45 seconds after I woke up and before coffee:
“Why does it smell like dirt in here?”
“Actually it’s a soilless medium….”
As long as I keep her weed jar filled it’s ok. But she has the bad habit of putting the stems back in the jar and then complaining that it’s “stick-y.”
The only thing Mrs Shadey complains about is the space it takes up and that most of the rooms in the basement had some form of weed plants growing or drying in it as well as mushrooms.
I have been informed when we move house, the growing of anything will not be happening inside the house lol.
When we were looking at houses my wife kept asking ”you can grow here right?” Me being able to grow was a higher priority for her than it was for me, because she knew I wouldn’t be happy if I couldn’t.
I have a 8x10 ft flowering room in my workshop outside as well lol. It was when I was trying to make seeds and keeping everything away from each other that it was too much for her lol.
Next house will have a big garage or another workshop bigger than the one I have now, even if I have to build it myself.
My wife gripes when I want to show her the plants. The led hurts her eyes so much, same with hps. Even with safety glasses she gets migraines within 30 seconds. Alas I can only really show them here
