Wait til you see the difference in taste, quantity, and flavor from waiting until they finish too! Nice job they look good for sure
Yeah, I learned so much on this site! Been doing 'instinctive growing' for a long ass time, until somebody older I thought I respected told me that some 25 year old kid 'forgot more about growing than I ever knew.'
I took that personally, because the kids not that smart, but his dads a professor of something somewhere and is a grower extraordinaire, his kids a privileged ( not mentioning fathers credentials because I don't know, but because of confidentiality.)
So I decided to do some networking and research, taking advantage of knowledge platforms such as RIU, and I have become more educated, more knowledgeable, and more confident.
So from many things I've learned to expound on, but one of the most important things I've learned, is to stop whining and wondering at harvest time, stop posting pictures every day like a dork, and even though we are challenged by the rot and late weather dampness, just gotta pull up the Manties, (similar to Panties) and fight the good fight as long as possible.
This is the hardest time of the year, a real junk twister. Weather, cold, wetness, all causing the crop to ripen and cause issues at the same time.
Back to what I learned, patience, patience, patience yet also careful, careful. Cut out the bud rot, spray the PM, Deal with pater killers for thks that have them, think that's a coastal thing in MASS. Been to the Cape camping and it was RE-Donkulous.
About to carve into the harvest window, pretty excited about this year.
Some other advice I got was run auto flower in. MA. But only two months of flower seems too quick. I got no prob letting things run to Oct 1st ish around here, in good years if your lucky, you might stretch to Oct15.
But for the most part, to be safe, Oct 1-4 is safe. Anyone can advise me when I should start seeds to make that happen.? Thinking late Feb early Mar ,but that will be some.more RIU research.
Last thing, I have a meter in my basement that reads 60-63, which I understand is acceptable. Shall I wet trim the sugar leaves.on the plant before I hang? Or should I listen to those that let the sugar leaves stay to slow down the process.
Limiting myself to one lame.question per day, tired of feeling inadequate, I should be knowing these things by now.
