I'm thinking il do large smart pots and this winter I have alot of organics reading to do, maybe a greenhouse with removable roof for the windy rain days

are some strains better suited for outdoor?

Yeah there are some that are mold resistant and will finish a little quicker so you can pull them earlier.

airflow and spacing are my issues. I had crammed in to fit my autos, need to dig down for more space and install extra louvre. Maybe get a bigger fan and runa power cord for it.

I've never had issues with mold when I keep my plants opened up, defol, and adequate spacing between them. Sun and wind are best prevention. Started using Regalia late this run. Starting with it from now on. Mold just sucks. And without spacing all your crop will end up with it regardless.

The areas I had my few spots were where it was crammed close to the greenhouse and no air could really get to it. I need a bigger fan and better training early on.

Sadly the eggs have been in those buds for some time. 2 weeks. Moths should have been done about then as well. Should be done or really close. I've found 2 buds in the last couple weeks. Was branches for a bit. Hope she rewards you.

To be honest the rot I’m seeing doesn’t seem like botrytis, or if it is it’s Botrytis Lite. It’s quite limited when I find it, and slow to spread. Most of the time it doesn’t even involve a whole flower site. So as far as rot goes, I guess I’m lucky - it’s just annoying to slowly whittle this plant every day lol

Looks like I might be able to make it through to the end of this week, just one downright frigid night between here and there, plus a few dreary days before sunshine returns. Mold hasn't been too much of an issue this year, maybe in part because of how dry it's been... like P59teitel, just spot infections and removal seems effective so far.

So behind on trimming.

Fear of jail. Guess that counts as smart.LOL. But no snapped limbs when you work into the final shape. That feeling bites.

I would like the simplicity of the tables being 4ft to manage it easier i also work with 6ft headroom inside so outside is a whole new world. currently I live in an area where some of the neighbors would be crooks and steal my hardwork. but since I got my gramps on the ganja train he is going to help me build a serious outdoor garden free of pests and pesty people

I have decent neighbors except the one behind me. Best view of my doings to. The rest all know and like my generosity. They actually watch my property for me a bit closer than just looking out for your neighbor. Be good to the neighbors. Long term issues if not. Had my share of bad ones.

Apartments and trailer parks. Prime suspects and high turnover. An enclosure for sure. Privacy screening of some sort and my favorite, sunflowers a couple rows deep.

Repair immediately. Spritz with 3% H2O2 before taping to prevent infection. Use teflon thread tape or gardeners tape (green electriacal tape without adhesives.). Or electrical tape with the sticky side out. You need something capable of stretching with plant growth. Don't want to strangle it as it grows. These will improve you success rates.

I ended up chopping in down.. Budworms were really disrespectful, so I took her down.. I will be spraying the others with BT today though. There were just too many worms on one. Did a wash, but I am nervous due to seeing a worm fall off my hanging plants. I washed them again, so hopefully it will be okay

Just an FYI to you NE folks. Woke up to not just frost today. Actual ice build up from a freezing mist. It's coming your way. Do what you need to to the Reaper rides to you as we speak. Best wishes all. My tent was ice free. Haven't made it out to look. Just worrying for all. Damn this time of year takes the fun out of this for few weeks. Life and death struggles.

Hey, I feel ya 100% - looks like we have 3 days if sun, Sun, Mon, Tue, then rain, rain, rain. So I'm gonna set my target date as Tuesday. My remainder plants are looking pretty rough, not the pretty colas I'm used to, looks exactly like it got blown hard n hung out wet, lol.
Favorite Line of Girl-friend grower this week: 'My shits ready, it's hard and sticky'.... And left herself wide open for a, ah, response.
