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.

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

*[[Beesplosion|Bees]], while very useful, can be turned into a very dangerous bio-weapon with the right chemicals. | |||

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!
