    Looks like today and tomorrow are the hump. After that shows 8 days of sun and 65 with low humidity. Could be a last minute reprieve if we can survive this current shit storm.

    130dB personal alarms (water resistant) can be had on Amazon, $10 for 3, shipped next day. They are as small as a car key fob. They all trigger by pulling a pin and are Loud AF. Buy 6 or 9 of them, get some 5lb monofiliment for trips, attach the alarms to the main stem low down, then run your...

    Follow up question...last year I asked about flushing (I'm not starting that debate here) and since have researched enough to form my own options on it. However, I still have some uncertainty on a different preharvest ritual. The idea behind the 48 hour dark period is very interesting to me...

    Yea, for sure. I learned that last year haha. I usually check all the parts of the flower then average it out. Those were just the clearest pictures I could get so I shared those, but they are representative of the trics directly on the buds (in all parts of the plant).

    My heart says "a few spots of amber, does not a finished plant make"...and that I should be factoring in the totality of the signs, which are not all there. Upon further consideration, I stick by my initial estimate of at least 3 weeks. Unless anyone has any strong objections. For the record...

    Let me answer your question with a question to the group... What would you all do if this was your plant? I thought I had 3 or 4 weeks left...until I checked trics. Now Im thinking I should be picking a day soon to chop. I know how these look, but I'm confused. The bud doesn't look done to...

    On a more positive note, I have found what I think might be a means to successfully growing sativas in our neck of the woods. Of the 3 Amnesia Haze I have going, the ones in the 5 gal pots are 3 or 4 weeks ahead of the ones in the ground. They got the same sun, same location. My uneducated...

    Tonight into tomorrow...24-36 hours of rain. Sunday all day into Monday...24-36 hours of rain. Gonna be a photo finish again this season. I had all these dreams of brightly fall colored colas being pushed to the limit of what's advisable...purples and reds and yellows and oranges...what an...

    Rippers are total scumfucks. Sorry that happened. Hopefully the person who did it gets hit by something.

    Yea...I'm done fucking around. I'm going out in a few to defoliate the fuck out of all the indicas. They are soaked still and it's only a matter of time before they go nuclear and smoke everything else in a mushroom cloud of PM and rot. Any big leaves in the lower/middle are coming off. I'm...

    Weather is looking up for me. The next 4 days are sunny partly cloudy but no rain and humidity in the 70s. Please lord God baby jesus let that be accurate.

    Same thing happened to me last year. Its deff tough if it's very cold. Not just because of potential low temps, but also because it becomes difficult to control humidity without some heat. I tried 2 things to combat this. A dry box that gave them a little micro-climate that was easier to...

    They look ok to me. Im a noob, but I don't see anything that screams "obvious issue" to me. (**EDIT...I'd ask some of the guys here to confirm that everything looks ok in the first and second picture. I cant tell from pics as well as some others on here, but you may need to give them some closer...

    Could be, but hopefully not. You just have to keep watching and checking. Vigilance is key. If you find it early it's much easier to deal with. I only have 5 plants to check, so I try to do it every night. I focus in the deep bottom middle of the plant and look for any signs of PM. If I find...

    Looking good! I have a few skunks going and I was in the same boat a week ago, with 1 eye on the calendar and the other on the flower progress. It looked like they needed to expedite the flowering process beyond what was likely possible in order to finish on time... Then a week later I was like...

    The 5 in the ground are bulking up nicely. No obvious problems. Very happy with them. All between 5' and 7.5' tall. Most of my affection at this point is going toward the little 5gal pots! They had a calmag issue that I think we are on top of. Some yellowing left lower down, but it has...
