Michigan crops molding and rotting due to rain

Anybody else know of any growers loosing there ass due to this cold rainy early fall like weather .. I have seen countless outdoor crops effected now by powdery mildew and bud rot in the past week ... I really think 90% of the outdoor is in trouble if not already .. I say 2 weeks max and its all dead if this weather continues to be so wet and cold ..

Maybe this is a blessing though considering the amount of shit weed floating around this state .. Our state is a bitch to survive in and this may be good considering the amount of cash croppers there are now in this poor state - not that I blame them for cash cropping , again this is a piss poor state and many people are hungry with no employment to be found

It's a real shame that people are so desperate, stupid or greedy so as to try to grow outdoor in MI.

Fucking move.

greencure that shit asap... is this your first year growing oudoors op... you gotta be prepared... you have to have shit for mildew mold pests on hand. same with nutes... you doing a gorilla grow. if not you should invest in a cheap greenhouse if you have access to electricity hook up some fans to move that humid michigan air around... you should know better.. also some strains are much more mold resistent then others.

Use Eagle 20 preflower.

Actinovate for the win.

The cold, that's another matter.

It was looking like a good OD year until late. How are the GHs doing locally this year?

There is nothing wrong with growing outdoors in Mi.

Nothing lost here and all is well .. I only grow indoors, on the other hand more and more growers that I have recently spoken with in my region are now fighting pm and bud rot , seems like 80% of the crops have been hit in my region . Surely there has to be some people who prepared for this and I wonder about the green houses too.

I hope this is the last year I don't have a greenhouse or four.
I hear repeated complaints of it not being as potent, but I will run it all
through the extractor.

Maybe some growers like to shut down their indoor garden in the summer to save money, utilize the natural air flow and the free light in the sky!

Do you plan on supplementing the light inside the greenhouse with HID on overcast days?

Do light dep in greenhouses for maximum results.....

Light dep can be way more potent.......if you do it right-

all the GHousers here ive helped/met do early 'clones' along the >>sides of their GH.....early strains vegged inside-

i dont think full term seed plants work as well....jmo
autoflowers X w a good strain are a good bet-

earlygurl--
you need an acclimated strain to your area and climate

and try a horizontal gro method....works better

it can be tricky here tho with the weather fluctuations....
-burn sulphur and keep the temps controlled as much as possible

And run the opaque GH film for best privacy.....

you can build an atrium off the back of your house using those plastic GH panels and it isnt so obvious-

or build it on the best sunside of your garage ...shed ....whatever gets most sun for the finish-

I haven't looked into that much yet, but I would prefer supplemental lighting though for sure. That was one of the main reasons why I'd consider messing with solar or wind energy.

Sunlight on an overcast day is still a better light source than indoor lighting.
