Been looking all over for this! This was 4 years ago when i didn't know anything about how plants grow or what a medium even is lol! I still may be pretty new to growing but i have learned a lot in the last year from 100's of hours of research.

Somehow i got a harvest without mold, but harvested too early. To those that believe you can't get less than 5 grams from a 2 foot tall outdoor plant well heres proof haha!

The things i did wrong.. I don't want to write a book but simply said i used a random soil mix and gave it tiny amounts of water everyday. My first indoor (This winter, so less than 1 year ago) gave me 1.2 grams per watt, i believe i finally could say i understand a lot about growing this year because after reading so much shit i finally get to experience it myself and its crazy how different some phenos grow compared to others, its always going to be a learning experience if i strain hunt. I may not be the best at remembering some things, but if its about growing i think about it so much it gets stuck in my head.

I can safely say now my weed is very enjoyable to smoke, white ashes, smooth, and terps that will stick on your taste buds for minutes. I find a lot of top shelf weed i buy even don't have as much terps for some reason, the flavour when smoking is much stronger from my freshly cured indoor than most of the strong weed i see around here. I do a 3 week slow flush, sometimes 3.5-4, it works so i'll stick with it. I also don't flush, i just cut down nutes a lot and watch the ppm runoff of the nutes in the medium go down slowly, it doesn't stress the plant like you would if it had lots of nutes and you flushed it with heavy amounts of water the last 1-2 weeks before harvest. At least that was my thought, and i since i don't see many people use my technique i'll keep using it because the results don't lie. It almost treats it like an organic grow, slowly losing nutes until harvest after giving your last amendments

That's actually how most experienced growers do it

My current outdoor, lots of problems this year and i blame it mainly on being rootbound or a slight chance it could be fungal? There is no mold or bug problems and it was fine up until it vegged in the new pot it was transplanted in for 2.5+ months. The northern is the most rootbound and was transplanted a few weeks earlier than the others, its showing more of the problem. Lots of fan leaves died in the last month, i could do nothing about it. Next year will be a huge learning experience because i'm going to finally try growing in the ground and not have to worry about roots overtaking the pot and getting too hot.

In veg they were doing great, but after they got over twice the size of this i could tell the pot was just full of roots. Cant even put a finger down to check if its dry haha.

My thoughts were man flowering is going to be so nice with a healthy plant, then rootbound and whatever other problems arose loll. Always learning, but my buds are looking great and smell amazing!!!

Ah, if only they stayed this tall and got wider. My neighbors all know if you guys are wondering and no i didn't tell them haha, lets just say i'm lucky i have good neighbors.
