Cannabis Cultivation

Hi. I have two plants I've been growing all summer on my back patio. One is a Trainwreck, the other it either Trainwreck or Lamb's Breath. I am not sure which is which.

The plants have grown pretty well all summer, are about 5.5 feet tall, and are starting to flower. One especially, the other only has a few little spindly guys at the nodes.

Anyways... I've had a few yellow leaves and just yanked em off all summer without too much worry. Now though, with all the flowers budding, I am seeing a ton more yellow leaves and it's making me worry.

I am using fish fertilizer and have been applying once a week.

Should I add anything else? Should I not worry about it? My regular gardening knowledge says the plants need nitrogen but I'm afraid to use any other fertilizers since I've killed cannabis plants in the past this way.

She was safely relocated to some sagebrush afterwards. But definitely a bit of a scare having my fingers so close.

Sorry for the poor quality pic - I was trying to be quick about it, as I'm sure you all would understand

The main colas on my girlies are filling out nicely :)

Plant #3 is crazy, she topped herself about halfway through veg and then one of those tops (left in the photo) split again just before she went into flower.

trichome pictures. so hard for me to tell, appears mainly milky, so unless she starts looking worse I’ll maybe cut her this Saturday on week 9.

I wanted to share my cute lil creation from trimming earlier.

I also post to trees in lemmy.ml -- wasnt sure which community was more active :)

“Vintage Pakistani x 88g13/hp (Deep Line Alchemy 11)” from Bodhi Seeds filling up my 6x4x6 greenhouse. A bit too crowded but it's what I've got for now, I'm hoping to have a larger house for next season🤞

I was going thru an old device and found this bookmarked. It's a great resource if you're into brewing compost teas or would like to get started doing so

On one hand I thinking it's so cool that a bee is checking out a thing I made, on the other I'm thinking get your pollen cooties away from my plants.

With sales of legal cannabis expected to more than double by 2030, producers of the nation's sixth-most valuable crop have a problem: Cannabis has a substantial environmental footprint.

Growing cannabis requires massive water and energy resources while contributing to air, land and water pollution and soil damage.

Indoor grow houses allow farmers to govern the lifecycle of cannabis using artificial lighting and climate control, which enables rapid turnaround for sometimes dozens of harvests each year.

For some growers, the cutting edge of sustainability in cannabis has moved toward energy generation.

To survive the second decade of recreational legalization, cannabis farmers will have to be as resilient as the plants they cultivate.
