Growing Herbs : Growing Catnip

[TheFritzbob]

when we grew it outside something always got to it, we caged it with chicken wire and watered it , it got enough sun but it would always be bare

[slummdogg47]

So... How do you grow it

[munchkin365]

@slummdogg47 Yeah that's what I'm wondering. I planted 600 seeds in electric propogators and NOT ONE geminated. Nobody sells it .

[LrdSepheroth]

@munchkin365 go to pet stors or plant stors and ask directly fore it if thay Don't have it ask them if thay will order it. Sum do uthers Don't if not posible pet store catnip sumtimes has seeds in it little black hard things youll se meny at the bottem it is posible to plant thees.

[littletiger91]

lol he probably does grow his own weed

[AbstractLucidity]

What is the best type of planter to plant catnip (ie, hanging pot)? My cats tear it apart before it can grow, but I'm trying to work on that.

[Missmadammozart]

@AbstractLucidity i know this is very late but, i grow my catnip in a hanging pot on the clothesline it gets a full day of sun and the pole is to slick for any random cat to climb. just make sure theres nothing remotely close to the basket or structure. i wouldn't suggest growing it indoors but if you wanted to grow it as a houseplant either spring for a pole planter holder ( it's like an extendable curtain rod that you hang plants on) or other suspension device, dont use a shelf cats love those

[gardenqueen12]

its weed for my cats

[dindaster]

Catnip is good for the hair too

[AbstractLucidity]

@dindaster

[krhoda420]

[SmokeTreeAllDay]

I never knew you could make catnip tea... gross.

[nazi8per]

@SmokeTreeAllDay Why is it gross? You can make tea out of spruce, marijuana... lots of stuff.

I'd willing to bet that catnip tea tastes pretty good.

[theonlyzdog]

@SmokeTreeAllDay

I hope you dont chew mint gum. Catnip, Lemon balm, peppermint, applemint, spearmint, blackmint ect all in the mint family

[happybuddyperson]

@SmokeTreeAllDay you just think its gross cuz you pictured a cat being turned into tea!

[jokkenizer]

and by the way, if you dry it you can smoke it and get the same experience as when u smoke weed or do acid ;)

[jokkenizer]

just buy it at the vet, its like 5 $

[putzamoale99]

@talkinshit4fun dude that was the first thing that came to mind , I'm going to search his vids see if he has helpful tips on growing mj

[rippen100]

how can you get high off of it?

[flupmakintosh]

I baught some dried stuff from the shop and the last bit in the bag had loads of seeds in it and I planted it in a cup of soil and it is growing.

[TheKyla1981]

cause cats should be happy

[mathias7777777777777]

Mr greenthumb, hehehe, awesome... thanks mate, you rock, this is a totally excellent video....

[dnl5649]

if a person smokes catnip bud you will get stoned

i just smoked 6 buds and i am like super high feeling

[ALETHEIA8881]

@dnl5649 r u serious? what the heck mate....

[dnl5649]

@ALETHEIA8881 if u smoke enough catnip you will get kinda stony feeling, not like pot though. you feel really high but u r not. i dunno how to describe it

[VHShit]

@dnl5649 It's from lack of oxygen. The same thing will happen if ya smoke paper

[dnl5649]

@VHShit eww! who would smoke paper??!!! i only smoked catnip because i just love the smell of it, and also if you dry it right it tastes better than ciggerates when you smoke it. really try it!

[gigicat21]

great video- short sweet and to the point! im gonna grow catnip now... where is the best place to buy it?

[gumdrops27]

Petsmart sells baby plants like the one he has on the video you can just buy one of those.

[gumdrops27]

I bought some seeds from walmart for a dollar

[VHShit]

I grow my own for my kitty. The fresh stuff is way more chronic & is super easy to grow. I grew mine from seed.

[garretts228]

Hey i want to give my cat some of this stuff how do i pick it? There is a bunch behind my shed and i dont know what to pick off of it and after i do pick it do i dry it and then crush it?

[VHShit]

The blossoms and the leaves both work but the flowers are stinkier. Mine are indoors and I trim the buds after they bloom to encourage more growth. I also trim the leaves when they get tall.

It works great fresh but you can dry it & store it in an airtight container.

[rippen100]

@VHShit where did you get the seed?

[VHShit]

@rippen100 I think I got them from a home & garden store.

I also have a plant I bought from a store that had herbs for sale. I think it was like 2 bucks for a 4" pot. It's about a foot tall and flowering.
