ok well i'm new to this. I started growing betsy in september and she's gone through a lot but she's still hanging in there.
I noticed now that she's starting to smell and is producing some small purpleish/blueish freckles on her bigger leaves and stems the'ye kinda pretty to look at but i'm not really sure if they are supposed to be there or not. i know i should probably be using fertilizer ad ph ratios. but the truth is i really dont have the money or the time.
she's also starting to get more brown dry tips on her leave at the ends. i've been pruneing them as if it were a regular house plant. i used to do bonsai trees so i'm keeping her small as possible, so to not draw too much unwanted attention towards her. thats probably not doing her much good either.
i'm thinking she should be almost completely budded in late august
I was wondering if anyone knew if organic compost would help her out a little bit...
i've been using old MJ ashes and mixing it into her top soil and spritzing her with bottled water. lol
but if anyone could help with my questions or even if they know the strain that would be amazing
