Me too! I deleaf at smoke time also. My life is much better since I escaped trim jail!

9 foot tall plant, tiny little root ball. Huh.

Was that left over winter? The finer roots broke off when pulled months later. You're a gardener, I'm always amazed at the small sized root ball of a 14 ft sunflower!

When the soil is fertilized and watered well, there was no need to search for more.

Yeah I was super lazy. The auxiliary roots weren't very deep. Almost all of them were very top level. I'm a wanna be gardener, I don't study plants, I do my best and hope it all works out lol. If I had to guess these are desert plants based on the way the roots grew.

Well yall I'm officially approaching the end of smokable goods from this harvest and all I'll have left in a few months is grove bags of larf.

I did give a few handfuls here and there to friends but by and large I smoked it all myself.

I'm ready to plant again this coming summer 2025, but given the lesson I'm learning, I should have grown last year too. Thought I could get away with skipping one, ha.

Grow indoor now?

Ah maybe...? I dunno. If anything I need to plan on this summer's gardening to be smaller and better managed. I want to do more trimming this year, to shape my plants and keep them from becoming so large, maybe help with air flow in case the weather is a bit humid or rains a bunch. The room I did my drying in, has spent the last year becoming filled with machines and equipment for hobbies. The plants would need to share space with my resin printers.

I feel this entirely.

Gonna also bring down the plant count for next year so I’m not stretched so thin. Last summer I was away for a good chunk of July so plants got big and that’s no bueno. Being able to manage what’s growing out there is crucial. Especially if you add vegetables and other crops.

Will employ the little small pop up greenhouse for the yard to help set canopies and keep critters out during early stages. That’s the plan for this summer anyway.
