Need some help identifying this. It was a volunteer, no idea what it is. I can post more pics if needed. It's pretty hearty whatever it is. Fast growing.

Could this be catnip?

Looks a bit like hops as well. I guess catnip would smell so you can confirm or rule out if it's catnip even in young plants.

Doesn’t look like catnip, catnip has a rounder leaf and the serrations are more plentiful and less pronounced.

Rub a fresh leaf between your fingers, should have slightly minty, garlic, chive scent. A cat would let you know in a second.

Hi, catnip is from the mint family Lamiaceae, formerly known as Labiatae. So it should have the stem cross section square.

Your plant looks some type of Chenopodium. Search for them in google.

Not catnip. I forget...a noxious weed.
