I'm in southern Maine and I put plants into the ground right about May 1st last year and they did great, they were pretty good sized plants already and had been hardened off for a bit to get them ready, I wouldn't want to get a frost on them but once your confident it won't frost should be good to go.
Awesome I'm a bit more south then you. I remember last may there was a couple 90° days definitely no frost, hoping this spring will be similar.
theres no way u put plants in the ground any where in maine may 1, even a unheated green house is tough that time of yr I can throw a rock an hit nh,been farming a long time,iam lucky to plant out 3th week of may even then u better keep the plastic handy
Just checked it was like a week later we got our last frost May 6th then the forecast was really good so I moved them out, I did say around May 1st. Had plants outside light dep by mid April taking them in at night before my greenhouse was up. And our climates are nowhere near similar two days ago you just said you have solid snow cover, I played golf outdoors multiple times last week with no snow to be seen, in Maine. My front garden is completely workable no frost at all,
ya I put out on the 17th last yr it was a early yr for me an that 2 ft of snow is about gone havnt been below freezing in 5 days here just had to speak up when someone says they got plants in the ground out in the open on may 1 in maine lived here all my life, as far as the veggies now your dreaming lol did u look at the forcast
with a cheap greenhouse u should be safe first of may but the days r still a little short gotta be careful with reveg
Haha I said I got the itch it's about a month early for veggies for me but it looks like April right now so got me dreaming, back to winter Wednesday. I haven't been in Maine long so last year could have been earlier than most, I wait till The 10 day looks good anytime in May and take the chance.
don't u have a green house of some sort,iam going heavy on the light depo this yr in an out twice a day but allows to run any thing.hows u do with bud rot last season worst lots of folk seen in a while
Bud rot was horrible last year lost the majority of my outdoor plants, everything in the light dep did good because I run dehumidifiers but it was depressing still. Need to get at least one full season greenhouse to run dehumidifiers in to make sure to keep a lot rot free at the end of the season.
I got ghost train haze an super silver haze crossed with a local early strain
I ran plants in the ground last year with 12ftx4ft scrogs per two plants they completely filled them in and some and got to 6 feet tall and then they turned to bud rot. I have put in a few raised beds this year that will be scrogged again. I also run 10 gallon and 20 gallon pots, pots and raised beds are all organic water only, still will have a few in the ground this year that will be fertilized but after this year all organic it's just so much easier.
Nice that should be fun, is the ghost train crossed out as well or is that straight? I mostly grow from clone but my sativa runs are always from seed don't have the space to keep clones all winter and like some variety anyways. Got some Old Timers Haze going, up to 20 weeks flower so that will be in the greenhouse pretty much all summer. I grow a lot of Ace seeds gear they do a really good job with sativas.
they r both crossed out,they still run to long for full season here,but perfect for depo
as far as the work goes depends on what ya useto,this is my retirement it all relaxing for me,we try to keep it somewhat legal around the house but what happens down the rd don't no
