2 of the FAM autos are showing their heads, 2 to go. 1st Candy Dawg just started preflower. I’m assuming CO Cookies will follow shortly. Guess it’s time to start some guano tea for these girls. I think I’m just gonna call it my flower tea. It did really well for my autos last time, I mean there was hardly any fade at all by the end. I’m gonna see if I have time to transplant the CBD plant from the 2 gallon to a 5 today.

So, I’m admittedly an inexperienced pruner. Please tell me if I’m doing this correctly.
Hacked at the fem plants. Cut off the small secondary branches off the first 1/3 off the main branches starting from the stem going outward. Guess I don’t pay attention much when I’m trimming but I believe this is always where the bullshit fluffy small pain in ass bud grows that you end up not bothering with correct?
If I’m not cutting off important parts and am doing this right I’ll prune the regs next. I feel like it opened up the plants to more light. I also trimmed any branches that were starting to drag the ground.

Okay so I’m holding a main branch from the stem and cutting the secondary branches in yellow that are closest to the stem . Is this Okay?
The branch facing down for example

I lightly pruned this whole plant. Botafumeiros
But only the secondary branches on the bottom half of the main branches

You could trim it or lightly bend it so it is horizontal to the ground pointing away from the center of the plant…
Disclaimer: I am not a fan of telling people how to trim or train their plants, especially outdoors, as I have never grown outdoors other than plant it and return 5-6 months later…

Right now, I’m only concerned with if cutting the secondary branches was a good thing or if I should leave them alone. Meaning branches growing on branches… I was kinda tackling it like a tomato plant and cutting off suckers. Best comparison I have.

Removing them shouldn’t be an issue if you want them gone.
This video may help give you an idea as to what you can do with your plant.

Just worried that I’m pruning off good bud sites, but I think the small ones just create that larfy weed that I never want to deal with when trimming, but I’m just not certain.
At the end, I would prefer big buds without any of the scraggly shit.

I was just thinking (I know… yes it hurt) can you imagine how cool it would be to plant a cannabis plant, harvest all the buds and then have it start to grow more buds. That would be AWESOME!!!

I had forgotten all about the gajillion metal t-posts I had in the garage! I was gonna use them to fence off the entire veggie patch from my dog. She ended up learning to stay out on her own while she watched me for hours grueling out there, digging and planting. Anywho, Dad stopped by and we used them to stake all of the plants. Sure glad they were useful cuz they cost me like 4 bucks a piece and I used like 12 of them this time.
The first 3 of @ReikoX fam’s are budding and starting their stretch along with the CO Cookies auto. Candy Dawg ready to follow any minute. I need to get my butt out there and transplant some more auto starters. Another CO Cookies XXL (I’m gonna put this one in the ground in the veggie patch and see how much potential she has without pot limitations) and 2 of Sparkles the fuzz phenos (also in the ground as these don’t get that big, don’t want to bother with expensive potting soil). 3 out of 4 of the next round of Reiko’s fam’s have sprouted. So far that’s 6 out of 7 germ rate. I still haven’t transplanted the CBD fem plant to the 5 gallon and that needs to happen. I also need to start some flower tea for the now budders. Lately all I have done is water, I really need garden time. I think today is the day. It just started to get really hot, so I just haven’t been into it. I think I needed to adjust to the heat first. I’m ready to spend some time today giving it some love.
I believe it’s been 3 weeks since the aspirin foliar. If so, it’s time for another. Plants seem really strong and healthy, not sure if that had anything to do with it, but since it didn’t hurt them, I will continue.

Organic friends… @ReikoX @Tinytuttle @Sebring @Sunvalley @MomOnTheRun etc…
Keeping in mind that I amended all the outdoor beds per the soil test late winter… would it be a good idea to top dress the plants in prep for bud with seabird guano for an extra pk boost? Or should the soil test amendments be enough and I should just LITFA? Was reading some stuff last night for outdoor grows and it mentioned this for mid July. Just don’t know if it applies to me with previous amendments.

IME, the whole point of the soil test is to prevent you from having to guess what the soil needs or is lacking. I would stick with the amendments and schedule you got from them. Otherwise, you are just guessing.

Thanks buddy! Only thing I did was malted barley top dress about 2 months ago. It’s probably ready for another one which is different than any npk amendments correct?
Other than that I will stick to the scheduled drenches per the test then

Yeah, malted barley is mainly enzymes, no major NPK of nutrients.

Bottom leaf on jungle spice. Is this a deficiency starting and what kind? Or possibly from yesterday’s staking? Doesn’t seem to be moving past maybe 3 bottom fans.
DBHP entire branch got too heavy and broke off. Is this giant crater in the stem gonna kill the plant or will it heal? Anything I should put on the boo boo?
