    Just trying to plan ahead and could use a little advice. Last year my wife and I did all the trimming ourselves, and it damned near did us in, as we are getting a bit old for this.

    Getting ready for NorCal outdoor, Strain Selection

    Getting ready for the upcomming outdoor grow. I've been getting the garden area cleared and ready, hard work for an old guy. I had to cut one oak tree down and it broke my heart to do so. But it was shading too much of my grow area and had to go. Put up the deer fencing and laid out the...
