Wild strawberry.Found this growing in my field yesterday. It looks like pot but I don't think it is. Theres seven leaves on each one and there are no flowers. Anyone know what it is?

I grow neer evergreens because they stay green in the fall when choppers come out and make my plants look like young trees. I also eat nettles for breakfast j/k You can boil them and eatem tho. Then just dump the water on your plants.

i found some plants growing in the woods behind my house and need to know what they are. if its marijuana i need to pull it so my grandmas dont freak out. sorry if theyre a little blurry, the camera on my cell isnt the greatesst, but the info would be greatly appreciated 
oh and i dont know if it will help but they do have small white hairs growing all the way up the stem and if you look at the leaves at the right angle they look like they have little crystals all over them you just cant really see it in the pictures.

All these are great. Id like to add a few cover plants & techniques for people like me, that grow fruits & veggies as well or perhaps you just dont have a bunch of money & u need a few inexpensive options.Tomato plants- Although these dont look "just like" mj plants they are awesome covers once grown & easy enough for the novice grower. A technique i like to use is to put the tomatos in hanging baskets. The mesh baggy things they market to grow tomatos upside down works too, but im cheap 
If u place a mj plant under the tomato plants vines, enough to cover a good portion of your lady, ppl will look @ it & not be able to tell where the tomato plant ends & the mj begins. This also works with strawberry & blueberry plants. Around now all your fruit & veggie plantlets should be discounted @ the grocery stores. Strawberry & tomato plants can be bought for less than $1 & the seeds for just as cheap.Dill-dill is great for popcorn strains (dr. grinspoon would all but vanish behind a dill plant!) It also helps with odors.Mint- mints leaf structures are close enough but different enough to mask a mj plant. Easy to grow & the leaves release aromatic scents when agitated. (Mojitos anyone?) I wouldnt plant in the same container, mint grows viscously!Bamboo-here in the south bamboo grows wild most anywhere. It can be transplanted (spreads rapidly!) or chopped & used for stakes, privacy fences, etc. Young shoots with leaves & branches can be stuck down around your plant or into the same pot to give it a new facade.Mammoth Sunflowers-The seeds can be obtained from any Dollar General, Walmart or most grocery stores year round for less than a $1. They are supper easy to grow my 4 yr old started his in egg crates on a windowsill. They germinate in about a wk & grow pretty rapidly. They can reach from 8-12 ft. All of mine range from 3ft to 6ft or so. You can also build a "privacy fence" with these.Lavender-I grow true lavender in gallon pots & have them all over my garden/gro & yard. Almost as an aromatic precaution it helps to ensure that when the wind blows it smell fragrant, not pungent or skunky or like rotten fruit. (but all of those are gooooood smells lol)Wild flowers, shrubs & small trees-quite frankly a considerable bit of my garden (besides what ive planted from seed) consists of containers of various wild flowers &...weeds. Hosta's, ivys, honey suckle, azaleas, large orange flowers that grow to 4 or 5 ft. They help to add cover & other things to look @ quite frankly. I have ivy growing up a peice of scavengered lattice & underneath is a 5 ft (maybe larger?) lst'd monster & no one ever questioned it in almost half a year. Ive had neighbors stop to get veggies no one notices the 3 ladies & all of them are 4 ft +.I always use dark pots & a few cactus here & there wont hurt...or maybe they will, but thats the point. I totally endorse the hanging basket tech. Ive had people come right up to the tomato plant & not notice the mj plant underneath. (of course the tomato plant is about 6 ft long so it almost touches the ground from where its hanging but its all good). Garden stakes, shiny things & windmills. My son & i are recycling aluminum soda cans to make wind spinners etc... Some of these things may sound corny but you'd be surprised @ how long the most intellectual person would stare at windmills made of soda cans & be amazed, & not notice a 4 ft mj plant "stealthily" camo'd just a few ft away. I hope these tips help someone!!! Happy growing!

take a sample to a local nursery, and you'll have your answer in minutes. dont argue with the da about what plant it is, just inform them that they will have to have a trial, and they need to hold onto their "evidence". by the time they take a second look at what they seized they will drop the charges.I have plants growing wild on my farm that the police have just charged me with for growing pot.I have others that they missed and these are NOT cannabis.I don't know what they are,but they are up over a meter / 3 feet, slender,leaves very cannabis like,but the smell is pungent,medicinal kind,not pleasant at all.I need to identify these BEFORE the court trial begins in about a week from today, the 13th(typical) Feb.Please help with any links you may have to non-cannabis plants.View attachment 2056245View attachment 2056246View attachment 2056250

Its an absolutely beautiful plant, and I actually did have one in my yard previously, but I don't think anyone who knows what cannabis looks like would be confused.
Yes, the leaves do have that "five finger" look like cannabis, but they're not serrated.
Also, while these can be grown out to look like a bush, the Japanese Dwarf Maple is actually a TREE, with a trunk and branches, and usually they're grown out to look like an ordinary tree.
If you want to buy one, they tend to be spendy. If you're in a legal state, you can probably pick out a nice selection of cannabis clones for the cost of one Japanese maple!
That plant is Potentilla recta (Sulphur Cinquefoil or Rough-fruited Cinquefoil) is a species of cinquefoil. It is native to Eurasia but it is present in North America as an introduced species, ranging through almost the entire continent except the northernmost part of Canada and Alaska. It is an invasive weed and I have been unable to find a good use for it. Livestock does not even like to eat it.

the root is edible and it even tastes delicious, similar to potatoes but more rootish. its a common staple food in subsaharan africa which is where is encountered it. brazed in a coalfire its wonderful!

Hi,
Im completely new here and my question is if anyone recognizes this thing?
It started to grow on its own from the dirt we bought to fill in the yard. And we currently have about 10 plants some are small and 3 are already taller then 1,80m.
It kinda looks like MJ but then again not quite like so its pretty confusing...

I was also gonna say Vitex agnus castus or Chaste TreeVitex
I grow this on my property. It's a small ornamental flowering tree that does well here in Texas. When in full flower, the purple flower spikes can remind me of colas on MJ
Ok here's my contribution to the list of look a like weed plants this stuff is growing all around my area that i've just moved into, i've grown before but this looks very close, i dont think it is real weed the leaf is just not quite right but the structure of the plant looks identical. Anyone know what this is ???someone had given me a reputation boost for a post with a couple plants in a thread so i thought I would try a more complete list.
If anyone has any has any that I have not listed please add them.
Cleome
Jatropha multifida
false Aralia
Kenaf
Texas Star Hibiscus
Tagetes minuta
Japanese Maple
Ok 12 AM I am off to bed, I will post more pics tomorrow

I'll bet that's the same one i saw in my neighborhood ..i had to get a friend of mine to verify .. he was familiar with the plant
and assured me that it was not MJ ... it looks amazingly the same , even close up , but the leaves are a bit broader , but
that can also be strain related or growing conditions ..
I was surprised that nobody bothered the stuff , or called police .. g
