The conditions here have been terrible between the smoke and now the rain. Haven't had sunlight on my patch for 10 days. I'm hoping that ends today, I can see a patch of blue through the morning clouds but a big storm is likely to blow through on Wednesday. Growing in this climate is always frustrating but this year has got me chewing on my knuckles. Everything was on cruise control, a perfect beautiful September until smokeageddon happened which added a sadistic twist to the annual mold tragedy. It's a heartbreaker every year because the weather is great right up until a week or three before harvest when it falls apart.
Had a green stretchy tape festival yesterday, tying down my green purple Lui x Sour D fruity after it got sagged down by the rain.
Luckily there wasn't any wind. After going through a roll of tape she doesn't look bad.
Her neighbor the Black Raspberry also did the bend but not break thing. She's a monster, I can't remember another plant I've seen get so big so fast.

Yeah this smoke and then rain has been brutal. Sun is out here today though, just broke this morning. My Blueberry x C99 and the Power Africa x MK Ultra are down. Looks like cola chopping on the Blue Dream and Acapulco Gold tomorrow before the biblical rains start.

Are those dead leaves in your pot?
Thats a no.no
Dead and dying plant material attracts pests, pathogens, and mold

With true organic growing that just adds to a healthy ecosystem. All my leaves go on the hole. Organics is the opposite of a sterile environment.

To each his own...
But Im almost sure that removing dead leaves is not enough to sterilize an environment

My point is the leaves are just more food for the plants as the bugs and microbes break them down. Just like any other mulch.

You think that process is going to take place in that little fabric pot in one season?
Whatever
Why would you want to attract microorganisms that enjoy consuming cannabis right to your rootzone?
Organic...sterile... you can certainly have both
Compost is good only after, and because its sterile
Then you introduce into it what you want to grow
Was a bit windy, and,to avoid leaves blowing everywhere, was collecting them in the pot
I wouldn't leave a leaf in a pot
I have mixed old ones with soil in my garden spot

No you can not have both organic and sterile. That is an oxymoron.
You think because organisms enjoy old leaves they will attack your roots, lol. How well would the plant have done in nature all these years if that was the case?
You are talking pseudo organics not true organics. My 6 inches of mulch along with the top dressings is full of roots and becomes soil by the end of the season. That's called composting on the soil. Plants love it, that is how it happened naturally for millenia.

Toughest plant I ever grew. Temps down to 31°f for multiple nights and up to 128°f. For a week in a poorly vented hoop house, survived the heaviest hail storm I ever experienced a few weeks before flowering, and a solid month of daily heavy rain, and strong winds. All from 19 year old lost purple kush seeds that were found, and given a try for the hell of it. Still had 9 out 10 germ rate

What strain are the black tomatoes. I had some this year but they were more like your heirlooms in the middle.
