It is like... you know man, when you grow little... the little plants in the ground? And like, you go and grow happy mushrooms? And like, when people harsh your mellow, you can just take a nettle out, and whack them to death with flower power, maaaaaan. | |||

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.

An alternative to chemicals is a floral somatoray. You can get it from the scientists unless they and/or the shaft miners are being lazy fucks (which is always). It is a gun that shoots mutation rays that either increases yield or tries to change the plant's stats. ([[Guide to hydroponics]]). | An alternative to chemicals is a floral somatoray.

If you happen to come across a [[Shaft Miner]] that hasn't taken a hardsuit and gone off to explore space, then you're halfway there.

Another method is to grow grass in your existing hydroponics trays, then plant the grass tiles and dig them up with the spade found in the back room! This will dig up some sand. | Another method is to grow grass in your existing hydroponics trays, then plant the grass tiles and dig them up with the spade found in the back room!

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!

* Mutate Ambrosia vulgaris into Ambrosia deus then lastly into Ambrosia Gaia which contains 5% earthsblood. Apply this to a hydroponic until it turns yellow which signals its fully upgraded. Now any plants grown on the tray will not require water or EZ-Nutrient and Fertilizer. | |||

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!
