New Grower, Gifted a Clone, Potted Outdoor - need advice, thanks!

[Annaresti]

Hello,

First off, Thank you for being a forum that is welcoming of noobs.

I am seeking the collective wisdom as I have planted a clone in a fabric pot, outdoor. I was gifted the clone - so i'm not sure how old it was when I got it. I planted it in the pot on June 20 and let it get used to outdoors, now it looks pretty happy. As a fan of cali-green on youtube, I'm trying to do living organics.

It looks like it might have been topped once or twice while it was a clone, but I can't tell. It's doing well and I think I have a good grasp on watering and feeding (but I'm not sure). I'm not expecting any mind blowing results, but I hope to keep it alive and get some flower.

I don't know what to do in terms of pruning or topping - or really anything.

I've been using neem oil once a week and ran out of B.T so I need to get some more to do that once a week (Unless people advise spinosad?) My water when it gets dry every 2-3 days, depending on the heat, try not to allow runoff. Spray it once in a while with see weed extract. Watered with compost tea twice now. I'm in northern California.

This strain is called "Rank Bull" which i've never heard of (Maybe a big bull cross?)

Please check photo. Any advice that you think will be helpful is most welcome. Sorry i'm all over the place.

Thanks again. Just regular 3% hydrogen peroxide from the store? Do you have any good tutorials or can you give me a rundown?

Migrampa has it down.

I had it try to take hold on my outdoor and it stopped it cold. Jilly Bean on my indoor got rot and it stopped it but I got lucky and caught it early. Lost 3 large colas and a chunk out of a fourth.

After harvest no further mold or rot was found. Anything that looked fugly during trimming was removed just in case.

It’s still curing but I’ll report on the end results.

Talked about it with G$. Best guess was I brought something in from the outside vegetable garden as all areas affected were at the same hight. It looks like I noticed it just before it bloomed out. No other plant got infected. Got lucky.

I have some other questions or requests for the materials to read.

As we get into the last fifteen or so days.Is there anything I should be doing other than watching ? Do I water ill more or less? Or the same?

Some of the big leaves are dying, which I understand but also some smaller ones are I guess, fox tailing is what they call it?

I'm probably just being anxious about everything, but I want to do the last few weeks right.

Keep watering as needed.
The plant will use less water but your soil may just soak it up so no real reason to decrease.
Foxtailing is what happens to buds. It is just excessive pistil growth late in the cycle.
Your plant is doing fine in my outdoor opinion.

Are you able to post really close up pictures of your flowers? We're looking for those trichomes to form a mushroom head and then begin to turn cloudy. The number of weeks until harvest isn't an absolute number. Time your harvest so that the majority of those mushrooms are cloudy with a few showing signs of turning red/amber. If the majority are still clear, wait about a week and check again.
