    Out door 2022 open show an tell

    No cover here either. I got nervous about the weather and since I am finding bud rot I chopped 1/2 of a Girl Scout Cookie and 1/2 of a Blue Dream this past Friday. Our forecast is for damp and cool weather until Thursday the 8th. I'll look at the plants closely tomorrow and if the bud rot stays...

    Out door 2022 open show an tell

    That's a beautiful plant! What is it and whereabouts are you growing it? I'm guessing you're further north than me (I'm on Long Island, NY) based on the amount of yellow in the trees/bushes in the background. Thanks in advance.

    How does Girl Scout Cookies run outdoors?

    I didn't check the trichomes. I bought a loop and tried checking them but wasn't able to see what other people show in pictures. That's the reason I harvested over such a long span of time. It was my first grow and I figured sampling and asking others to sample would help narrow down my harvest...

    How does Girl Scout Cookies run outdoors?

    I grew Girl Scout Cookies last year and again this year. The photo is one of last year's plants taken on October 24th. I am on the east end of Long Island, NY. I'm an experienced gardener, but last year was my first time growing weed since I had a farm in Western Massachusetts (about 30 years...

    Par meters can i get a good for less than 500.00

    I'm using the Uni-T UT383BT mini light meter paired with the PPFD Meter app on my phone. I heard about this from the Migro channel. That vid is here: PPFD Meter app and Uni-t lux meter bluetooth pairing test The light meter costs about $30, the app is free.

    First outdoor in New York

    I’m a first time grower on LI and I’m still going with my outdoor plant. She’s definitely looking pretty rough. I want to see what difference harvest date makes so I’ve harvested some on Oct 20, 25, 27, 30, Nov 4 and 11. My plan is to harvest some more on the 18th and then cut around the plant...

    First time grower in NY

    I'm a 1st time grower on LI too. My plant is still chugging along. I haven't found amber trichomes yet, only cloudy. I've been taking branches every few days (sometimes because of bud rot!) and the quality of the smoke is definitely getting better. The forecast is for rain so I'll take a few...

    Cloned a bag seed plant

    How close is your neighbor's plant to harvest? Try some and keep the clone if you really like the weed. That's my opinion. :weed:

    Early bud, any tips?

    Are those tomatoes in the raised bed? They look to be doing well. I'm a new grower myself so can't give any advice, but I can tell you my experience. I am growing a plant in the ground and giving it the exact same nutrients and water as I give to my tomato plants (10-10-10 and ag gypsum) on the...

    10 gallon pots — plant size and difficulty to move?

    Here’s an update on our first grow of GSC. Photos are from Aug 7th. The plant really filled out in the 10-gal pot, but hasn’t gotten much taller. My original question was whether we would be able to manage the size of a plant in a 10-gal pot. This will not be a problem for us. We’re happy with...

    3 weeks difference.

    Great looking plant, but a quick note about my experience (first time growing in about 30 years for me) . . . I went to >7' without supports. I was taking pictures every couple days with my measuring tape and sending them to friends, etc. Chest out, real proud of myself. M-nature adjusted that...

    Open show an tell2021.

    I enjoy seeing all the outdoor plants in this thread. This is my first time growing in >30 yrs. Here’s my contribution, nothing fancy. This is a feminized GSC. Seeds were germinated April 1st. The growth is beyond my expectations and I have no idea how much bigger it will get. I have topped the...

    2021 Massachusetts Outdoor Growers

    Does anybody know whether the resident themselves need to be the grower? The 500-unit example wouldn't make sense if you had 500 different people doing the growing . . . oh, the chaos! But if you could transfer the right to grow your 6 plants, then we'd have something! I'm fantasizing! :hump:

    2021 Massachusetts Outdoor Growers

    The comments about the multi-family brought up another issue in my mind. Do you know whether the property you grow your weed on has to be contiguous to the residence? Suppose you live in a 500-unit apartment complex. Could they have a warehouse-sized grow room or a couple acres nearby where each...

    10 gallon pots — plant size and difficulty to move?

    Thanks to everyone for all the great advice. We’re going to go to a 10-gallon pot and put it on a base with wheels similar to what DoobieDoobs and mudballs suggested. We’re not going to remove the plant from the 5-gallon. We’re going to put the whole thing into the 10-gallon and let the roots...

    10 gallon pots — plant size and difficulty to move?

    Am doing my first grow in 30 years, first ever in a pot, and first grow with my girlfriend’s son. We have a GSC (feminized) in a 5 gal pot. The plant is 30” tall and growing great. We are on Long Island, NY, zone 7a. I expect that this plant will go into flower late August/early September, or...

    Man I suck

    Another newbie here writing to let you know that patience is definitely needed. Here's a photo of a couple of my plants. The one on the left is 20 days from seeding. The one on the right is only 2 weeks older. I'm an experienced gardener and I've been surprised at how slowly these seedlings have...

    Kerowacked: Looks like there's a can (paint can?) around the stem in your photos. What is that for? Thanks!
