Planting / Growing / Harvesting seems pretty straight forward, as a matter of fact one of our politicians recently stated " dig a hole, throw some seeds in, cover it with dirt and water it, how smart do you have to be" well let me tell you !
I hear what your say'in the same guy would not fare well in my area either , we have enough real people here to rebuff that. Welcome to our second ever grow, last year we were spoon fed by this group and they managed to get us over the finish line despite ourselves, It was quite the adventure. This year we have a whole years experience under our belts so we are not making the same mistakes we are off on a whole different set, so get comfortable and prepare to laugh and shake your head in dis belief as I am sure we'll pull at least a few more bonehead maneuvers before it's over.Says the person than never grew anything... specially cannabis. Yeah its easy .... wait, no its not.
Its work and farming. I'd love to see that politician say that shit around all my neighbor farmers. He'd be looking for a new job at best. Be lucky to get outta there unscathed.
I'm in for the rest of the season.
I'm on my first outdoor this year so learning as I go. Been growing indoors for years and still doing that.
GL with your grow @Sierra Cowboy, it takes a village.
I have several in the ground and 1 in a say 75 gal cement container. Most are 15 feet tall or close now. Flowering stated...yay!

We have BIG plans for next year as we are moving onto a 1500 acre ranch so in the ground next year. The ranch has a designated garden area that has been worked for years. I plan on working the potting soil from this years grow into the soil to add some more light weight material , the soil there has a lot of clay. I figure by the time next years crop hits the dirt we will have everything in it that they need.The ash is actually healthful for the plants. Think Pot-ash Its the "P" in NPK.
You mentioned composting. I've been a big advocate of using it in our gardens and promoting making it for the health of it all.
You should start looking into making your own soil mix with compost as your main ingredient. I use a mix called "Coots mix", there are many good ones out there. I'm on my 5 year in the same soil probably 25-30 runs indoors nothing but water last 3 years.
Instead of doing a compost tea. Take your compost from last year and top dress about 2 inches and water in on top of that. There's your compost tea. It will continue to give your plants benefit for the rest of your grow and then some. With compost teas I've learned that what we are doing making a tea is diluting the goodness. So top dress as a mulch with your year old compost. Look into leaf mold if you're near a forest. Its the best you can get and free. Can top dress and use your compost tea for the watering.
Not sure how long your growing season is there where you're at but I'm in upstate NY on a mountain side. So we could have winter anytime after mid-September. I wont do anything that will lengthen the time to harvest. Trimming training... indoors I do some but dont worry about it outside. I've been worrying more about weather and no rain or too much rain or snow or wind or fog... those are my challenges.
We will be going from 95F @ 80% humidity to 70F and 50F at night here in a day or so. So that will be foggy nights big time and with that weather comes PM. It's already here. If I get any harvest it will be a bonus.
