Lessons learned this time:
1. While filling my bucket I learned my new washing machine was leaking from the cold inlet. Fixed.
2. If using organic or top dress nutes soil conditions must be optimal. Don’t feed till runoff and the organic stuff takes time to cook.
3. Dumping the pots I noticed the root system wasn’t as crazy as I’m used to seeing. Maybe I’ll do 3 gallon pots next time.
4. When I started my friend offered to hook me up with some guy in Michigan to teach me “the basics” for like $2000. I refused the offer because I already knew how to garden with vegetables, fruits and flowers plus the internet fills in a lot of skill or knowledge gaps for free. lol, lmao even.
5. I’m dry trimming. I dry trimmed my cereal milk and liked the outcome vs. my usual wet trimming.
6. ???
7. Toppings and topping many key spots gives excellent yield. In fact many of the buds looked like they were mainlined.
8. Lollipopping has to be thorough, tiny bananas formed on “missed” foliage.
9. Better not to heavily defoliate. It gives more room for error.
