Mine are looking much like. this. We both have a way to go. Patience and an watchful eye are needed. Next year I'm going to get myself a rocking chair nearby.

I'm in week five of flower and have been researching all day what I need to feed my backyard plant through to the big snip. I've landed on brewing a final tea (which I've never really done) with worm castings, liquid kelp, a good dash of molasses and a new bubbler I ordered from Amazon tonight...

I think I'm about 3-4 weeks away at this point before I harvest and trim those encrusted leaves. If conditions hold, they should be ready to do something, anything. Step your ass up sugar leaf! It's been outdoors since April and has never suffered for plenty of sunshine and fresh breeze. I've...

I am seeing so many trichomes on the sugar leaves. I expect to harvest in just a few weeks with joyful bud. I've been slowly denuding the plant of fan leaves off sturdy stalks. Now those sugar leaves look like candy. I'm wondering if they might have enough umph to reduce down and produce gummies...

That is just beautiful growth. I have no emoticons to do it justice. Thanks for the kind bud pix!

So here's where I landed tonight with all the excellent advice and warm welcomes. Ladybugs were a great idea, but the West Coast isn't importing them and friggin' Amazon sells them with a two week wait time. To hell with Bezos. What I've decided to do is spritz some neem oil on neighboring...

Just took a toke of my popcorn bud from my local. It may not be huge ol' buds, but it does the trick and will see me through. I'll be asking questions soon about sugar leaves and gummies.

Thanks. I'll make a Home Depot run this week.

We have a water fountain nearby that attracts finches, hummingbirds other small songbirds. I think they are doing the yeomans job of eating a lot of them. Leaf damage hasn't been an issue. I love ladybugs and I love your suggestion. Funny you should bring up Monarchs. We've had a good dozen...

Just pulled it up and am reading about it. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you!

I don't often have bad dreams, but lately pot anxiety has crept in.
