Scientific Name: Urtica dioica
Common Name: Stinging Nettle Other Common Names: Bigstring Nettle, Common Nettle, Common Stinging Nettle, Gerrais, Greater Nettle, Grote Brandnetel, Isirgan, Kazink, Nabat Al Nar, Nettle, Nettle, Stinging, Nettle,Common, Ortiga Mayor, Stinging Nettle, Stinging Nettles Plant Type: Perennial Where To Plant: Full Sun to Partly Shady Soil Types: Average Germination: Easy Number of Seeds Per Pack: 50 Notes: Drying or cooking removes stinging effect of the leaves. Cooked young greens are good spring tonic. Easily recognized by its prominent serrated leaves, the stinging nettle is a herbaceous plant related to hops, marijuana, mulberries, and elms. The minute, fluid-filled hairs on the leaf surface and stem can cause a stinging or burning sensation on contact with the skin. Drying or cooking removes stinging effect of the leaves. Can be used in salt-reduced diets, as they contain a salt which is not a burden on the system. Cooked young shoots, rich in iron, are commonly eaten as tonic spring greens. Important bio-dynamic herb: increasing the potency of neighboring herbs, and stimulating humus formation. stinging nettle as a companion to marijuana?? Much research is still needed on the interrelationships of plants in the garden. Little is known about common vegetable garden plants effect on each other, let alone how they may react with cannabis. Growing certain plants in proximity to each other has been documented to cause noticeable effects on growth, both positive and negative. The main companion plant that has attracted interest with underground marijuana researchers is stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) which has been said to increase essential oils in many plants.    Seems like a great cover plant. It says there is underground research saying that planting it as cover could help w/ tricome and resin production plus who's going to go looking for your weed in the middle of a large patch of nettles? Plus it it stings animals also so could also be as a way to control pests

I like stining nettles... because thery are so similar to marijuana they can be grafted to eachother fairly easily... my idea was to graft stining nettles onto outdoor marijuana crops this way people trying to steel it will get STUNG!!!!

How do they sting you? I'm assuming if you just wear gloves and long clothing you'd be fine?
