[update] so I decided to do 8 cups of dolomite lime and the problems have virtually stopped! It feels like the buds exploded in size after. If that's not just my imagination and biases, it could be because the soil is finally in the correct pH range. Thank you all so much for your help! I...

I put the scraps in regularly, a few times a week. What are some things you feed yours?

I would love to keep a worm bin! But having them incorporated into my soil is the only way I can have them with my current place. Thank you for the advice on bubbling the lime! I haven't seen that recommended elsewhere. Good point. I thought I was overwatering during veg, so I've cut back a...
