There is nothing like an old fashion hand job. Yep I said it! Lol mechanical trimmers are fast and efficient but will never get you the finished product like doing it by hand.
But…. If I had to purchase a unit it would be one of these.

Good morning all you crazy farmers. I hope you all are having an amazing week. Quick garden update.
I haven’t been able to spend much time in the garden over the past few weeks but seem to be looking ok.
I plan on spraying everything with PureCrop tomorrow morning before the lights go out.
I also plan on starting some minor LSTing on Sunday. Slowly start to bush everything out.

I’m super excited for the outdoor season this year. I think it’s going to be less work than last year and bigger plants. June just can’t get here soon enough. :slight_smile:

Happy farming…

I have seen root bound plants with stunted development before.

I have 35 regular seedlings, going to do genetic testing soon, they have a little over 1 quart in each of the bags.

I have been putting them inside heated room with windows at night, and moving out to the Sun :sunny: with little greenhouses, keeping them on natural light cycle. I planted them 4/4.

Wishing you the best :slot_machine::evergreen_tree::peace_symbol:

Good morning all you farmers. Summer is only a month or so away, hopefully, and this means garden work. We are gearing up to what looks to be a pretty solid round of girls.

I was awake to slip into the garden this morning and cut all the cover crop. It was definitely overdue. I also cut off a few of the very very bottom leafs. Some may not of had any to trim off. Tomorrow I will start with some minor LSTing on a few. Nothing major just alittle somethin somthin to start widening that base.

All the strains seem to be reacting to the soil decently. I can already see different growth phenos amongst many of the plants.

All will get a light dusting of PureCrop1 today before the lights go out. simply a nice little preventative measure.

Monday morning will mark the first taste of the good life. Yep!! It’s tea time baby. This will be a very basic worm casting/fish based tea. I’m looking to work the soil and focus on a healthy environment.

I’m thinking next week I will flip the light from 600 —> 1000. Let them ride it out tell the first part of June.

Happy farming…

Here’s the link to my new 2023 journal:

Spring cleaning Sunday!!
What a beautiful day. Very grateful to be able to get alittle garden work done today.

*I was able to remove the large mane stalks from last year. Very little rootmass came out so that me great.
*I next removed the drip lines and set them aside.
*Cut the cover crop and evenly distributed the green material between all grow bags.
*Dusted each grow bag with dry amendments. I previously portioned this out a few weeks ago.
*Lastly I covered each grow bag with fresh organic straw.

In a few weeks I will be adding worms the the garden.

The soil is looking 100% better than last year. I’m super excited if what’s to come.

Happy farming…

I sure hope so. I’m not going to force anything this year at all. I’m just going to let everything happen organically. :slight_smile: Basically just try to stay ahead of schedule.
I’m happy you are going to be along for the ride :slight_smile:
