Just throw out some bowls of beer around your plants. The slugs will go into it and drown. When it comes to beer vs plants they will want the beer trust me. I had around 50 slugs in 1 bowl just from putting it out for 8 hours.Temps mid 60's to high 50's during the day and getting around 46 during the night. No matter how many times I put anti-snail granules, I'm pulling off my two biggest plants around 250 snails off the leaves/stem every two weeks they get their visit. Their shit seems to be a risk for disease but luckily nothing showing and sprayed them down. On that patch only 1 is flowering, others are still just throwing pistils.
Temps will go back to the 70's at the end of the month but then dropping again. Just wondering with these temps if I should defoliate or if I should let them be because the foliage may protect the insides? I've grown indoors and in lower latitudes but never dealt with these temps. I grew up having temps in 80's/90's all the way to October, the biggest problems I faced there were bud worms and these little bastard black beetles.
Powdery mildew. I've seen it on our lilac leaves during wet spells in years past but really didn't see much at all this year anywhere here. Been awfully dry.Hey what is PM? Couple pages back people were talking about it been kind of busy and haven't been paying much attention unfortunately. I've got the yellow leaves but I've also got buds. The weird thing is the plant doesn't smell anymore. I've just been picking off the leaves as they yellow, I thought it was because of the nutrients I had been putting in there it seems when I stopped using them things started turning green again . I've been flushing them with regular water. now it seems the yellow and not so yellow leaves are getting brown spots, I kind of put it up to the cold weather at night I'm up in Farmington.
This is train wreck.
I dont see pm ? Iam so sorry to say this but no way do those plants have time to finish where you are Iam sw of you, looks to be lacking ferts?Hey what is PM?

Sounds like cal-mag deficiency when you get those brown spots it's usually because it's just getting rain water.Hey what is PM?

I use bamboo sticks in the center and tie onto it the ones that fall over. Best to do it before they stress. Learned that from Brown Dirt Warrior.Progress Report Week 22: sunny, dry, nights starting to get down in the forties. Bud growth seems to be accelerating--thinking I may have 3-4 weeks more on the Tomahawk and possibly the Orange Blossom Special.
Do they like extra water during bloom? Thinking I ought to give them 2 really deep drinks per week now that it's not raining.
Continue feeding right to the end or taper off? Since I'm organic I'm not worried about "the flush" but wondering if I taper off nutrients the last couple weeks would that help optimize flavor.
Buds are very sticky now and starting to develop some delightful fragrance. Each strain has its own scent but at this point they're all delicious. Can wait to check out the scent and flavor of these when finished.
Here's my assistant helping out on the Sunday morning rounds:

Chinook Haze really developed a lot this week:

Tomahawk still out ahead of everyone else:

And last but not least Cherry Wine steadily gaining:

Tomahawk really fading. Got me a little concerned. Was she a little hungry going into flower? Or just this particular strain fades early?
Seems like serveral leaves a day go yellow:

At what point should I be trying this branches to support the weight?
Happy gardening everyone. Hope these last few weeks go well!
I hear mixed reports about storing in the freezer. Was thinking sealed mason jars in a cool dark place. You think freezer is better?Will you have room in your freezer?
I prefer cool dark place. No need for freezer.I hear mixed reports about storing in the freezer. Was thinking sealed mason jars in a cool dark place. You think freezer is better?
The only way it might make sense to me is with some synthetic fertilizers maybe they do affect plant smell/flavor negatively and are best minimized before harvest. Or maybe a really noxious organic fertilizer. I was thinking I'd back off the fish hydrolysate the last couple weeks maybe, but honestly I really have no idea. Plants certainly seem to love the stuff and I guess it's all about keeping the plants healthy and vibrant.I keep feeding until the end. There’s been a lot of debate over this for years and there’s no science that supports starving your plants to improve the final product. Makes no sense from a botanical standpoint once you do some reading. Lots of misguided practices that have become part of the cannabis culture....pot heads are suckers for snake oil and “bro science”. Fading is normal...some strains just yellow more/faster than others. Stay the course, don’t do anything extreme, make sure your plants are sufficiently supported and enjoy the ride!
In July we have like 18-20 hours of light. Photoperiod is photoperiod and means a lot more than nothing outside. You're in a latitude that is lower, the day change is much more rapid, and the plants notice. In Arctic places the change is slow and light is long.12-12 means nothing outside. I have already Jared my MOBs, dam good smoke too. Both were budding second week of July. The rest will go in another 2 weeks or so.
