One lesson I have learned the hard way is " your girls will get jealous of your other girls". In other words your girls (wife, daughter, girlfriends, better-half) will get jealous of all the time you spend with your plants. Don’t let them catch you sitting in your grow area for hours eye-balling and fondling your budded plants. Don’t let them catch you spending more money on supplies then you spend on them or can afford. If you are lucky and your better half partakes in the dubbage, try to get her involved somehow. Most women just want to be included (I know its kind of like taking them hunting). If they don’t smoke give them some proceeds or something new after harvest. I guarantee an hour or two sitting on the sofa watching Opra or whatever they watch will go along way. I know from experience its much easier to take care of the wife then the hobby next. Try to play with the hobby when they aren’t home or they are sleeping. Clean up your messes and don’t use their good kitchen utensils for fertilizing, measuring, and such. Just a word from Experience that can make your growing experience a little easier
