We're on day 4 of heavy rains here in Boulder County. My deepest sympathies for those evacuated and flooded out of their homes. For those who don't know: http://boulderoem.com/emergency-status
Jamestown has been evacuated and there is mass flooding everywhere up and down the front range. Stay safe stay inside!
Stupid fucking college kids tubing down the dorm hallways and people are losing their homes and animals in the 8ft waves carrying debris and mud and rocks.
I am fortunate enough to be on high ground literally floods north south east and west of me. So much rain my indoor grow room is hovering around 75% humidity WITH my dehuey running on high!

This is one night of rainfall accumulation in 2 gal buckets, filled them to the brim.

This is my 55gal h2o barrel with approx 20gal of rainwater accumulated.

My lil gals are taking the most beating as they have been staked but not trellised. Looks like someone got in there and punched em around.

Anything with weight not supported split down the middle.
Thank you shitty fucking weather for helping me cull out any remaining runts.
Hope everyone is staying safe and DRY!

edit update: 2 lives lost RIP. STAY AWAY FROM THE FUCKING WATER PEOPLE!

that was the plan for this weekend, however now I'm waiting out the rain before tarping them off so as not to create a hotbox for mold. i've seen cannabis plants in coastal mendo put up with hellfire by comparison. i believe the garden will be fine so long as we get the nice weather predicted to come.

Is there any means for a ripper to track a digital cam upload?. I've wondered about this, only my device is a Canon w/o any GPS...so cannot see how it would be possible.

If your device does not have GPS then don't worry. All smart phones have GPS and even some non smart phones, so If you have this enabled when you take the picture the GPS details stored inside the picture file that you then upload. With software it is very easy to extract that meta data(GPS cords)from the file giving anyone that has access to the picture can now know the location, date, time, ect.
So for those of us that may be to stoned to get what I said Ill break it down real fast for you.
Disable GPS before taking any pictures you are taking of anything you are going to post if you don't want them used to track you.

maybe one of you can solve this mystery.. i have done many grows had many different grow houses all of them one story and have allways had at least a couple run ins with mites. iv been growing in a two story on the 2nd story for over a year now and not one mite and i dont even spray?! and ideas?
Click to expand...
you get a trade off with problems when you go upstairs, you're a/c bill climbs, but your bug problem declines. mites can't fly, so they would have a hard time surviving the trek up your carpeted stairs before starving. Someone would probably have to have one hitching a ride into your room.

Anyone ever seen an insect like this? I was checking out my big girl and found this little guy with a flying insect of some kind between its pincers...right now it's chowing down.

Through being a little distracted with other problems I let the soil ph rise in 2-3 of my plants and although I flushed well the ph is still high, they have just started to flower albeit in the very early stages so I really want to correct this to ensure maixmum nutrient uptake during the most important phase.
So the last 3 waterings I only fed 1/2 dose and at a ph of 6.
I know there's no overnight solutions but I'm open to other ideas.
The plants are in grow bags with about 60L of soil which is roughly 13.6 US Gals.
ph is about 7.5-6 .
I don't want to shock the plants with any sudden changes so was wondering if I added a little peat moss would it help?

try lacto bacillus or gypsum

That's one weird looking insect. I saw something similar in Mexico one time and someone said it was called a walking stick. Not sure if it's the same thing you go there. I've noticed that I'm getting all kinds of insects I've never seen before now that I have this grow going.

Question to any and all, I've never used a scope before this year and though I know you want a good mixture of trichs before harvesting, where would you place these shots of a sugar leaf ;)

1) Good to go
2) Almost there, another week or two
3) A month

Glad you asked this question Mojo. I just got a scope and I couldn't hold still long enough to get a good look at the trichs, but for the little time I did see them, they were just about like yours. For a brief second I thought I saw some that had turned amber. It's a bitch working the scope. The only way I can see making it simple is to trim a small amount of bud and view it on a table. With the wind and shaky hands, the scope is a pain.
