when growing replaces all other hobbies
when you have enough extra seeds to feed your bird and not worry about it
T
tea
and your bird is singing like an opera tenor
You don't need to buy any smoke off the streets, because yours is much better because you learned how to do it better from the information and seeds available here. Oh yeah and your friends tell you that you scored some great ganja, and it must have been real expensive.

Any new housing we're dreaming of includes plans for how to grow bigger and better. (DUH!)
You realize money really does grow on trees.
You can start to estimate dry weight by looking at the plants.
You think you hear noise elsewhere when working in your room.

Here are the ones I'd like to add:
Your cat/plant sitter is also a cable guy. (Good in case the internet or cable need help. Also good in case there is any leakage since he is head of that department and could help us take care of it without involving anyone else.)
One of your co-growers dates a power company dude and he swipes a spare clip for your power box so you can upgrade it and then slip the clip on.
