It’s quite smoky today, the 1st time this summer, with the new ringcam I can view the 200 gallon ladies from the air purified comfort of home without breathing smoke.
Train Wreck on the left, White Widow Skunk cross in middle, Willys Wonder Skunk 
cross in white rain science bag, she has exploded vegetatively, fat buds will be forming soon. It has been fun growing regular beans. I have one male Willys Wonder Skunk plant that I plan to make some beans with, the dog ate the other males, he is the lone survivor.

The waning moon phase has been speeding the march of flowering development, and helping with ripening on indoor grows farther along in flower too. The unseen root development both supports, and accelerates.
I’m so excited, OMG, do I love outdoor flowering season 
The Amnesia Haze auto packs a good punch, I have been impressed by the improvements in auto strains. Some are starting to look 
and medicate better.

I have to enjoy outdoor growing through yours, but a consolation will be to grow truck vegetables in our yard next year (hopefully). Still getting the landscaping in (diy).

Take it easy out there and don’t over work yourself @Myfriendis410
2 lemon sugar Kush received 4 gallons of water mixed with Bountea better bloom, Power Bloom Si, ChitoSal, and Microbial Mass Pro, plus sprayed with BT this morning, and a plain water chaser. I need to top dress a little dynomyco, this 100 gallon didn’t get any at transplant like the others.
It smells smoky out there, air a little better than yesterday, though 
I prefer staying inside.
I am most grateful to do what I do

I had to capitalize on the new moon for more super cropping
100 gallon Lemon Sugar Kush main stem super cropping session with pliers:
Bend and we have a dropped top.
We have reproductive action on 200 gallon Willys Wonder Skunk
I super cropped selectively on 200 gallon ladies too.
I top dressed some 7-3-1 dr earth and a little epsom salt, then hand watered them all for about 30 minutes.
I am most grateful

200 gallon ladies…
I hit them all with simply silica and bud ignitor yesterday. I just gave them 30 minutes from automated water system with filtered tap water. It got above 100 today, and I realized they didn’t get any water this morning, the valve was turned the other way. They suck up the water when flowering starts. Tomorrow morning they get another 20 minutes too.
I am most grateful

Welcome aboard 
3 months today since dropping the beans in water.
We started 5 weeks later this year, trying keep them smaller than last year.

Untill growing becomes fully legal in NY I still try to keep plants as small as possible. A 100 gal dream pot is still 2 years away!
I have 5 regulars that were planted mid-June.
They are only in 5 gal pots…and this is more of a learning year for me.
I will be following your methods closely.
You’re plants kicked serious ass last year!

Thank you @Spiridly
I had poor outdoor germination rate in 2020, however, the ones that popped did well - I began germination under a Libra 
waxing gibbous moon phase, under an Aries 
Sun , not ideal for germination, however plants that are harvested for their flowers do well started under a Libra moon.
Moon in an earth or water sign preferred, new moon or waxing Crescent moon phase, best, with sun in a matching, fertile sign. Will help with higher germination rate.

Thanks for the links. Very interesting read. So right now we have a waxing crescent 
. My plants are due to be feed so now is a good time right?
Do you feed during the 2 weeks of waning? Or only give water

Yes, good time to feed. With fertilizer less is more, and large amounts at once will stunt your plants, and cause stress.
Waxing Gibbous phase has greatest uptake of nutrients, it will start on 8/16.
I just received a delivery of more dr earth 7-3-1, and I will hit the plants with 1/2 strength doses tomorrow, and again on Sunday or Monday in anticipation of waxing gibbous. I’m going to throw in some bloom fertilizer - seabird guano - and power bloom Si too.
- Waxing gibbous (the moon is bigger than a quarter moon and almost to a full moon) is when your plants will start pulling up tons of nutrients from the soil. Ideally, you’d want your cannabis plants to have some strong roots in place when this phase begins.
