My plants lost their smell second week into bloom. Any ideas why?

We get alot of haze in the am from the coast, so not so good here, I MISS them the most. Nothing like a great sunset and a good class of wine!

Hi, does anyone have any pointers on how much rain is too much? It's already raining here and not sure how to cover them and still get sun?

Any rain can be too much once the buds start to thicken. You can try covering them with 6 mil plastic sheeting. I used some painters drop cloth plastic for a short storm we had last year. If you can try and shake them out after every rain that would be helpful as well.

Thanks I'll try it. I've been shaking them off after each rain. So they'll still get what they need from the sun through the plastic? I hope u and ur family are having a BEAUTUFUL day :lol:

They'll still get plenty of sun through a little plastic - just make sure it's not too thick!

Good morning, I hope everyone's great today. I was trimming a shaded, thin branch yesterday and it pulled a small strip out of the main branch it was on. When I snipped it it didn't cut all the way through, so when I pulled it it took like a slice out. Will it help and be alright or should I be doing something for it?

Whew, I thought I damaged it. I actually stuck one of the little branches I trimmed in soil and its doing great! I kinda stripped the stem a bit and stuck it in. It has little buds on it and figured why not. Will it continue to grow that way if I feed it?

The one that you stuck in the ground will live for a little bit but will more than likely just die off in a couple of weeks due to not having a root system. :( I did mine as an experiment but I was in the middle of veg when it happened so it rooted outside for me.

Oh well, it was worth a shot. I hate trimming anything with a bud on it!!! It's just money in the trash. But if they're shaded and coming off of a BIG branch, shouldn't I take it off so the other gets more ?

Hi, I was inspecting my ladies and noticed a branch that must have gotten bent. It has like crease in it and bends. I'm afraid it will break of, its pliable. Is there any way to support it so it doesn't?

I wouldn't worry too much unless it's really floppy. If you want to be cautious you could put a stake in the dirt next to the branch and tie the branch to it
