Desire to Smoke My Own

I hear you Ablaze. I don't want to overcrowd my plants and risk bugs or diseases. My grow room location means soil is really my only option and I'm very comfortable with potted plants. Those plants in veg will be the last for now.

Let me clarify what I was trying to say. I've been .

You chose a great medium for an easy grow. That's the main benefit of soil. Nature will do 99% of everything you need. Your plant knows what to do all on it's own. Let it.

Pampering our ladies is awesome and rewarding. It's also dangerous. Don't overthink it and kill your beauty with too much love. You're doing awesome.

Yes I am becoming an impatient gardener. The buds looks so good it's hard not to be impatient.

I'm practicing patience every waking moment now. 49th day of flower. It's really sad to look at her in a way. I've been tending to a bushy green plant and now she doesn't look so bushy. The weight of the buds has given her a dropping, leggy look. But look past the loss of lush and focus on the buds. Buds are sticky, dense and heavy. Not much aroma yet but they have transitioned from a vibrant bushy plant into this bud laden beauty. Two of her clones are now out in the flowering room. They're about a week apart and I'm using tomato cages on them. I admit to being a lazy gardener. The thought of scrogging sounds painfully tedious and my goal isn't maximum harvest but simply good quality bud for personal use. I think the cages will do.

I cut down a few of the branches that were drooping down well out of the best light last night. Mostly so I can do a test run at drying and curing. I'd hate to screw up the entire batch. I plan to harvest the entire plant this Sunday even though I'm probably a week or two early.
