I grew my own hops, but barley failed me, in southern New Jersey.

Herb? Maybe tobacco? or oooooooh how about stinging nettle?
You know, I dont know the name of the plant but if you're in the Southern US go for a drive and check out the side of the road when you get out in the country. Theres a plant that I swear has to be related to marijuana, looks a LOT like it - just real lanky. You could dig those up and practice!

I think you're talking about a desert orchid which somewhat resemble Sativas.
OP, grow tomatoes!

As Charface and DonVega have mentioned tomatoes would be pretty darn close. If you can grow a tomato plant all the way through and your fruit is tasty, you can replicate that with cannabis.
I even use the same organic soil concentrate for tomatoes and cannabis.

My environmental problems are similar to the ones you have to deal with in your thread actually... crazy unbending people nearby and I honestly am just awful at finding places to buy any kind of shwag local, let alone some really delicious seeds.
I just read through your stealth grow experience (despite the disclaimer in your sig) and really enjoyed it. If you're still having trouble with filters I read about an easy one with scotchbrite pads and liquid carbon on here that costs like $3 to make.
And update, I don't know if they are similar but I'm about to try growing strawberries while I wait for what I really want.

I am pretty sure the only family member Cannabis has is hops.
They don't grow the same though. Other than the photosynthesis part.

Here is a link to the whole fam:

***Edit:
Pretty interesting actually. There are all kinds of plants that are in the family.

1kg of hemp seeds from the pet shop or health food shop is about £5-10

From what I was reading, which was brief, strawberries were not listed as family.
They split after the Rosids part. So same Order not same family?
But the question was what grows closest to Cannabis. From what I know about about Cannabis and Strawberries, again that isn't much, they are not similar in growth patterns.
Even tomatoes aren't that close. The feeding schedule is pretty similar and they both stretch when flowering. Cannabis is Cannabis and Tomatoes are Tomatoes. Strawberries don't really grow up, they just kinda lay there or you can use one of those topsy turvy things.
Personally I wouldn't be so worried as to getting practice with something similar. I would try to focus more on growing as a whole. Grow some veggies at first, lettuce is pretty forgiving, Aloe Vera is awesome to have around and is near impossible to kill. Good luck on your growing stuff. OP.
