I don't top mine until they've been in the ground for a few weeks. But mine are also a lot smaller than yours when I transplant. If you top them, transplant at the same time. Get it all over with.
Not sure. Last photo season was my first attempt at topping and I got a little scissor happy.
My grow game isn’t nearly as strong as durban’s but I’m also trying to do organic amendments. I had some cheap potting soil. Dressed it up with horse poop, seabird and bat poop, fish meal. Plants like gross shit.
Yeah this is my first season in the beds. After harvest I'm gonna do cover crop for the winter and then mulch it down in the spring and use it as fertilizer and then keep layering. Do a no till kind of thing.
If I could get a hold of some ground up cow bone or something. Cannabis definitely loves that stuff.
if you hit up super markets sometimes they will give away ‘soup bones’
I had accidentally done that. We decided we didn’t wanna pay for dirt and we’re gonna start farming right in the lawn. So I layered horse poop and grass and dirt I dug up. Accidentally made a huge worm farm.
I didn't know that. Maybe I'll ask when I go grocery shopping in the morning.
Corn is a first for me this year. Going to direct sow them today. Not much, like 6-8 stalks. Any tips?
Gonna get some chickens next year. That will be great fertilizer for everything and help tremendously with the worms. I also planted 3 apple trees and 2 orange trees in early spring to go along with my 2nd year nectarine and avocado trees. Plus I added 2 blueberry bushes this year as well. Lots of babies around here right now.
don’t water them daily or they end up like this
I want some but we’re a little too suburban for it now. Might be able to set up a slot but not super high priority. I would like a couple goats and a couple chickens tho, for compost and weed management
LOL. Nah I don't work graveyard. I crash around 8pm and wake up at 1am, take a couple of bong rips and get my workout in. Then will crash for another couple of hours then start work around 6 or 7. The luxuries of working remote.I want some but we’re a little too suburban for it now. Might be able to set up a slot but not super high priority.

My wife has an army of avocado sprouts in our window. The house has an apple and a nectarine tree but they were poorly trimmed and not really set up for fruiting. Looks like they lollipopped the damn things.
In my fantasy we could get fruit trees for each season, that way something is always fruiting or flowering. We’ll see.
You work graveyard too? or just an insomniac
I should have gone to college
I’m at a very publicly known electric car factory until 5am. Whose owner is a nazi. Hint hint.

Yeah I want more space too. I get jealous seeing the land some people have on here. That's my wife and I's retirement goal. Sell everything we have and buy some land up north in the woods. Mendocino or Humboldt County. If not there then like S. Oregon. Maybe in another 10-15 years.I should have gone to college
The place we’re moving into is great don’t get me wrong, and yard wise is fantastic compared to the people around. But I grew up on 10 acres, grandparents have 100, mother in law is on 5. Neighbors are just weird to me hahaha. Got them on all sides. I just wanna smoke weed and listen to metal at odd hours of the day.
Yard wise, the backyard is very…wet. Even for manteca. The way the house is positioned, the sun hits the front of the house all day, and the backyard gets a good amount of shade, which will be great during the summer. But man. We got lawn grubs, which love moist soil. Got peach leaf curl, from moisture. It’s been an experience.
pretty close
That's good advice. My first try this year for corn as well.don’t water them daily or they end up like this
ugh same. played around with moving to the oregon area this year but ended up staying local. got two kids going to college this year, once we get the other four thru life we will probably bail.Yeah I want more space too.
