Well, ahem, yes! You are a hippie. You can make some of the best healing foods in the game, and the most lethal too. Also, you can grow hallucinogens and toxins! Just make sure you know what plants you are growing, or you will wind up dead from eating a bad shroom, total bummer. | Well, ahem, yes! You are a hippie.

People like to break into hydro and steal your spray bottles, because they can fill them with <del>lube</del> water. Keep all the bottles in a safe enough spot in hydro, or actually stay in the hydroponics bay. You can also hand them out like candy. It's not like you need all of them. | People like to break into hydro and steal your spray bottles, because they can fill them with <del>lube</del> water.

BEG the chemist to make you stuff, namely unstable mutagen. You will go through this stuff fast, so make sure they aren't stingy.

Congratulations, you are no longer restricted to tiny water tubs for growing now! Be warned though, it is not the most efficient method of planting, as there are no lights to indicate needs for water, fertilizer, etc. Have fun surrounding the theatre with bananas and watching the clown collapse in sheer joy. | Congratulations, you are no longer restricted to tiny water tubs for growing now!

*Be very careful while growing the following- Death berry, Novaflower, Bluespace Banana, and Bluespace Tomato. Though not illegal, can all easily end up making a fellow crew-member flat. | |||
*Not everything is allowed to be grown. Due to their very dangerous properties, some plants are illegal to be grown and you might be asked to scrap it. A few examples of these plants would be the following: [[Cherry Bomb]], [[Combustible Lemon]], [[Death berry]], [[Death Nettle]], [[Killer tomato]], [[Kudzu]]. Remember, while it is true that botanists and medical staff are pardoned by drug possession enforced in space law, if you were to have the plants leave botany at anytime, you're liable for narcotics distribution charges until proven otherwise. | |||

As a traitor, if you are lucky and fast you have access to so many horrifying things: [[Guide_to_plants#Death_nettle|Death nettles]] that are as strong as e-swords and automatically disintegrate, plants that slip people for ages, multiple robust poisons, [[Guide_to_plants#Blue_tomato|bluespace tomatoes]] for breakins and getaways, [[Guide_to_chemistry#Nitroglycerin|nitroglycerin]] ingredients, [[Guide_to_plants#Kudzu|KUDZU]], and so much more! Unless you set up a secret garden it will be extremely obvious which horrors you're growing, but luckily no one generally gives a shit about botany. | As a traitor, if you are lucky and fast you have access to so many horrifying things: [[Guide_to_plants#Death_nettle|Death nettles]] that are as strong as e-swords and automatically disintegrate, plants that slip people for ages, multiple robust poisons, [[Guide_to_plants#Blue_tomato|bluespace tomatoes]] for breakins and getaways, [[Guide_to_chemistry#Nitroglycerin|nitroglycerin]] ingredients, [[Guide_to_plants#Kudzu|KUDZU]], and so much more!
