Wandering through- never saw this thread before. Just want to say how much I appreciate the female growers I know on the forum and I only wish there were more of you.
Any other female growers out there?

Omg girl I’m still trimming my plants second week all by myself. I’m not done still got two plants I didn’t pull. I guess I’m a picky trimmer I like the buds to be nice clean cut not too many leaves no crows feet for sure.Hey Kiki! Welcome to 420Magazine Great looking gardenhow did you go with that big Monday?
Morning CasaGWelcome to here. 420Mag rocks - as it seems you already know
Congrats on taking the leap from lurker to poster!
Do you think you will journal your grows here? A big outdoor garden is always a sight for the soul.

I wish there were more of you, too
(it’s a very new thread btw...).
All strength to your arms Kiki!!
I tend to leave on all sugary ‘crows feet’. I’m not too fussy about how it looks in the jar
and the leaves can protect the buds a bit - (IMHO). They mostly fall off in the jar over time anyway and then get dry sifted for hash. I do appreciate a beautifully trimmed bud tho and will sometimes do a few that way, for the visual delight. I’m sure you’re buds are a sight to see 
good luck with the continuing chop chop snip snip!
Thanks for the kind welcome, Amy. I’m not comfortable posting pics, for various reasons, but it was a singing green chorus in the old back yard! One thing that has been difficult in my growing journey is separating relevant information with regard to indoor/outdoor growing issues. The majority of current “common wisdom“ relates to indoor growing—and “Indica” dominant cultivars. (Thank you, prohibition!). There are many fundamental differences when growing NLD sativas outdoors.
Here’s a goofy example: I have been told many times by indoor growers that water droplets on leaves in strong sunlight can/will burn them. Having grown up in the subtropics, where huge storms are followed immediately by blinding sun, I know it’s bollocks—but I’m still wrong.
It also suggests a mistrust of the outdoors in general, compared to the relative control of an indoor grow.
I have plenty of variables to deal with—CATERPILLARS ARE EVIL!—but I enjoy being outside and, for the most part, watching the dance of nature. I put praying mantis egg cases all over the yard this year. When I lucked into watching the craziness of one of them hatching, I was able to call a few people over to see. We all giggled like schoolgirls. Now, the adults all cock their heads In interest when I talk to them. They’re the owls of the insect world.

totally get it about not posting pics etc.!
Exactly, right!
Of course ... this.
Yes - and that’s probably another whole kettle of fish.
I came from growing outdoors only, to now having a small indoor as well.
Me too - it’s what keeps me going! We have the occasional mantis that we spot, but one of the main predators here are dragonflies. They’re wonderful predators too
I love to hear folks tell of gentle connections with critters, big and small. I’m absolutely a lover of insects and other critters
Except them of course!! I am lucky not to have encountered the “budworm“ caterpillars here.
Burn caterpillars with fire!!!!!
Plus. Never show me a pic please. They give me anxiety attacks. Long story.....
