Easy solution, wake up an hour before her and get it done with some coffee, sheāll be none the wiser. I wake up before the dogs, they are bigger pests for breakfast than the GF that early in the morn. Once you have a system down, its no work at all.
Spring chicago, garlic goes in in oct, I plant my toms/superhots end of april/may, sometimes i have to tent in trashbags for the rando lingering frost - yeah rain sucked, had to put in a 4ā well-point to pump off that water table.

Adapt is the word. At least this year I can start everyone in the tent instead of buying veggies at Home Depot

Yeah, hit em early with microbes, like tribus/recharge/extreme whatever flavor you like and watch em take off. The microbes replicate in the roots as the plants grow so start early, but expect em to grow fast. I prep my garden in fall for my spring planting, one run 6" with a till to turn in spring-weeds and plant.

Yes @Underthestairs everytime I see your tag. I think of the horror movie in the 70ās with that name.people under the stairs. But back to life my wife her dad grew a monster garden for years a acre or two. She loves helping me out back. And now with the āshortagesā we are going with better plans for are backyard garden. I just have to find a horse farm. Around here. We grow organic .She did help a lot in trimming last years weed crop. Now we need trim bins to catch the keif /hash. We lost a lot last year.

Hard year. Not much sun, so much rain, too much humidity. I think we lost about 6oz to mold and rot

@Underthestairs I donāt smoke so hubs and the children are the primary consumers. Hubs does the first wet trim while the plant is still standing. He takes off all the fans before I chop. My middle comes over and helps trim the buds. She makes them look picture perfect! We pack those buds separately for gifts and tips.

I am impressed with their customer service and the package arrived today so guess who is setting up the flower tent? Canāt wait to get the Tangie OG in there after I grab a couple of clones. I will say in my short time growing anything Tangie seems to have strong genetics, pest resistant, and easy to grow.
Supplies have run low in the household.

I think thatās really something, that you donāt smoke but still enjoy growing the plant, essentially for your husband and children. A motherās work never stops 
. Still, I just think thatās an amazing thing, and itās heartwarming knowing itās a family activity for you.

Real quick update so I have it documented. I clipped a clone of the healthy Tangie OG. I am going to grab six off each of the plants. I think only the Tangie OG and Trainwreck are worth flowering out. The other two are headed to the compost bin after clones are cut.
Iāll take pictures but be prepared - you will have nightmares after seeing the horrible condition of these plants.

I just think itās awesome seeing families come together, especially when it involves growing for a loved one. That makes it all the more special, and it just really struck a chord with me. I love seeing it.

Another quick update as a note for later reference:

Cut three more Tangie OG clones in seedling tray. No more possible clone sites left.

I used clonex for the first time with the MJ clones. (get the jar not the pouch if you buy it). I also have some old rooting hormone powder I used for the herb cuttings I took.
The second CBD seedās taproot went through the root riot cube overnight. I just transferred her to a clear solo cup with a Styrofoam cup around it for insulation and to protect the roots from light.
The two hemp seedlings seem to want more light. They are stretching.
