I would check which bugs are hanging on the plant and treat them as well! It is not too late but seems there is a bad infestation on the leaves and stems. After the harvest you need a bud wash.

Thank you, anything in particular that u see in the stems it was raining lately and there is soil that jumped on the leaves, at least thats what I thought…i hand cleaned as much as I could before snapping the pic, not sure what to look for
I have been turning the soil for years various crops & compost my own food scraps and yard clippings.
You might want to pay for a soil analysis and amend as needed. I don’t know if you mean the patch was no-till, or if you’re breaking up an existing rhizosphere. Although it’s hard to tell, the plant looks a bit stunted. If you’re already providing optimal sunlight, soil conditions are the next thing worth investigating. I notice that the plant hasn’t formed what I’d consider true leaves. The most mature leaves have only three leaflets. It’s nothing you can’t fix.

Thank you, how to I go about testing the soil? I have pulled some leaves as I saw some damage…whats does “stunted” mean? Thanks again for the time and help.

The past 4 weeks I have added 20 20 20 fertilizer and last week I added bone meal
Soil Testing - Google soil testing in your state/county/town. You’ll find that the state universities and departments of agriculture offer affordable tests. The UConn testing lab will advise you on how to amend for specific crops, and others probably do too; I’d say tomatoes, since they can’t help you with cannabis.
It fell short of expected vegetative growth. I think it will fill out flowers in the next weeks/months, but I don’t imagine it’ll get any taller.
If it was me, I wouldn’t remove any leaves unless they’re actually yellow and dry or obviously diseased. The leaves are the power cells of the plant, and the number of leaves is directly affects the amount of flower you’ll harvest. Some people with say that “lollipopping” or aggressive defoliation improves the flower production. My thinking is that the flowers get filled out with tender leaf growth in response to the defoliation. Also, shaving things makes them look bigger.

Without knowing your starting point, it’s all arbitrary. Since some nutrients can antagonize others, it’s best practices to start with a soil analysis and amend, or follow a fertigation program from a nutrient company in a soilless medium.

Pretty much you’re done for the year with the plants that you have. When you have a plant that small and you’ve already started budding there’s not much you can do after that. What I would suggest next year or the next time that you grow dig a 3 x 3 hole and add your own dirt. The only other thing that I could think that you could do right now is to take a stick and poke holes in the ground around your plant that would help aerate the soil a little bit. It doesn’t hurt to grow in buckets either then you can kind of move them around in your garden so people didn’t see them quite as much. You can hide grass and anything that is green.
Got to say the buds look nice

IMHO looks like a nice little super late female or nice little auto that has been took nice care of being so close to the ground and all the speckles I see look like possible soil/sand? Particles where you possibly washed it off for the money shot!!!
I think ima have twenty to thirty of these little trees in a raised bed next year instead of a couple huge plants!!! Cheers to the harvest !! Keep on growing friend
