Forgot to memtion using the blower to get rid of the dew and excess water.
Exactly! Geography is pretty important. That factors into a lot of different aspects as @DancesWithWeeds mentioned.
so it’s a garden that my grandfather normally grows his vegetables in every year. The usually fixings onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, etc. it’s pretty much all compost from cut grass and the previous years dead cuttings and veggies that didn’t make the cut. We live in southeastern Massachusetts it can get very humid. I usually like to have my plants out for mid/late may but I had some clones that were being difficult in the EZCloner (last time I use it). My main concern with planting in the garden is that every so often a lawn care company comes and sprays our front lawn with whatever the fuck. I’ve been interested in going organic so my goal is to try and aim for as organic as possible.
Yeah so I’m in New England, Massachusetts to be exact. We have shitty weather 90% of the time, weather it’s a ton of rain, or extreme humidity and heat. So far this year we’ve had a ton of rain and wind. I planned on going organic in 10 gallon fabrics. I’m a little late this year but I just transplanted clones into their final pots.
Good info here thanks dude! I’m in New England, MA to be exact. We have a fairly short season here, and I’m already behind I had some funky clones that didn’t wanna root for like 3 weeks. But we get a lot of rain and humidity here most summers. This spring so far has brought the most rain I’ve seen in my lifetime (28 years). I’m trying to go organic, I’m used to growing in coco. But since it’s so hot and humid here I have to shut down the basement grow until September.
Where im at we have to be sure we get the morning sun on the plants to have a hope in hell or it will mould ime mind you im pretty far north tho
Exactly! Create healthy soil and it will grow healthy plants!
Using compost extracts, i rarely have PM even in poorly ventilated dep. Botrytis? Lol. Maybe 1/4 lost in 20 pounds. Over or imbalanced fertilized plants get bugs more often. Moths fly past my plants.
Thanks for the reply and info! Will def make use of the MA GROW Thread. I’m not fully into organics I would like too but for right now I would just like to have outdoor buds that are somewhat on par with my indoor buds. I have read about BT and for sure will be using it. In terms of beneficial insects, I have ordered some green lacewing larvae and am looking into either lady bugs and also predatory mites for soil. My previous outdoor grows were all in my grandfathers garden that were planted directly into the ground. This grow I went with half in pots and half in the garden. That way I can mitigate atleast half of my crop away from rain and wind if need be. I’m still very new to growing it’s an awesome hobby of mine, I’m curious as to how you would deprive them of light? Especially the inground ones?
