Did you have issues with mold doing outdoor in hawaii?

Yes mold is a big issue in Hawaii. Its not too bad if you can avoid the inch worm catapillars. They chew up leaf deep in the bud. Which rots and spreads quick.

Washing is just like it sounds. 5 gallon bucket full of clean water. Dunk and swish. There are lots of things that stick to resin. As you will see in the bucket.
The water keeps the plants stiff for trimming. The wet buds go in a big garbage bag. And we trim. They can stay in the bag wet overnight without issues.
Water does not stick to resin. So the only parts that get saturated are the leaves which get trimmed off.
Scissors do NOT stick to wet bud. I dunk hands and scissors constantly.
So much quicker and easier. I trimming in 2 weeks. I'll post pics on my #3/light thread. You'll see how much crap comes off. I'll use a white bucket so you can see.

Here she is. Little nitrogen deficient. But repotted her instead of foliar feeding.

Pot size looks great considering the size of the plant. Yes, there is a slightly nitrogen deficiency visible. Bottom leafs are brighter than the upper leafs. A good time to repot.

I don't know 'Sour Nightmare Kush', but sounds like indica mostly and something about 8 weeks flowering?
So, three weeks now and at least three weeks more in new soil are already six weeks.

It may finish at 8wks in hydro but probably 9wks in soil. So she will get about 5-6 more weeks. There was no transplant shock by the way.

What means you will most likely fertilize in 7th week and maybe beginning of 8th week - depending on development. After repotting a plant shouldn't yellow more than she already did. Quality soil should be sufficient for at least next three weeks.

How is your plant doing 10 days later?

[mushroombrew]

Still budding. Still a tad deficient. Sorry been super busy. I will get a pic up.

once i did some testing of flowering some plants with zero nutes in flower, just water only the whole time....the plants got yellow, very yellow, then got burnt and a bit dry....come harvest they looked very very sickly, almost dead.......after a trim and 2 week jar, although definitely weaker and muted....i could still taste and tell what they were.....clearly not proper fresh dank, but surprised me of how 'not garbage' they were

so no matter what it can be salvaged in some way

Astonishing. Did you also repot your plants during flower or did you just not fertilize? Because repotting means fertilizing the plants. And I haven't wrote I don't fertilize at all. I do. But rather less and for some weeks the fresh soil is sufficient.

@mushrombrew
If the plant already got a deficiency, it will not improve. My experience is, the state of the plant gets "freezed" after repotting for some weeks.

Each grow youll get better.

If you grow in soil you should do a lot of research into how to make a good soil base and try to source the hard to find stuff even if you import it.

My mix I have been using for about 6 years now:
4/10 coco
3/10 perlite
1/10 black worm castings
2/10 wood chip compost

Amendmended with:
dolomite lime
volcanic rock dust
bone meal
diatomaceous earth (a lot! adds silica)

feed with water + epsom salts for some waterings
feed with aerated compost tea when they need a boost
top dress with lime and worm castings right as they start budding up around week 2-3 flower

works great for me.
