Im in Southern Ontario, I like to run a 120 Day cycle, I have had A few weeks longer, If the bud needs it.
I dont grow more then 2-3 Plant at a time so Im not part of the Field Harvest Crew.
Nea Like i said, I slip a bag or 2 to my neighbours and ive not had an issue yet.
Keep in mind they are all over 40, Im the youngen at 32.
And for a final safety messure I have my 125 Pds Rotty sleep in the back yard on the cool nights.
Ya outside only, The wife wont let me put much money into Grows so I cant make a room or buy lights.
As for the trichomes, Im just keeping an eye on them, I would like a mix of amber/milkey, I like the high better then just getting retarted and laying on a couch.
My wife uses Diapers in here Flower pots... They Break down(enviro peeps) But retain water for longer times...
With that said, Ive never tryed so your resaults may vary.
Last season I had 2 main Branches Snap from the wind, This is Ghetto, But worked, I taped them up as tight to the brake point as i could.
They Kept growing like normal.
Just my 2C$
