This week I fertilized with Gaia Green All Purpose as directed and watered every other day with the Quillaja and Mycrob Complete. I also kept bending the main stem down to get the lower branches to match the top ones in height. I also ended up using the last of the soil I had left and put it on top of the straw.
@BudBoutique, Thanks I appreciate it! I was able to smoke some with my buddy on Monday when we trimmed it up. Was definitely up there for one of my more favorite highs. Super chill and relaxing. Flavors were pretty unique to me too, never experienced a minty flavor before so that was a nice surprise.
@Hou_Stone, I am using the straw as a mulch layer and to help keep moisture in the soil as I got worms and all kinds of mites in there. It may lower pH but I don't monitor it so I wouldn't know.
