Just a simple thread to share your progress without the need for a whole grow diary ... Everyone is welcome! Off-topic banter is encouraged. Have fun!

Here's mine ... I call it my Northern Farmer Greenhouse Autoflower Grow.

Sweet Greenhouse! Did you fabricate it yourself or did you buy it as a unit?

GF is talking about wanting to buy up a 26 acre plot and wants to setup a greenhouse for veggies and "other" necessities!!!

We're thinking about maybe setting up a mobile home park on the property.........
 
Set out this fine morning, pick and shovel in hand to dig up a spot for an outdoor grow.

The soil here in the foothills is rocky, clay and hard as cement.

A shovel bounces off it. I have to break it up with the pick and move it with the shovel.

New soil in place and cooking for a couple weeks before I put a plant out.

Getting fun now. IMG_8431.jpegIMG_8417.jpegIMG_8415.jpegIMG_8416.jpegIMG_8412.jpegIMG_8430.jpegIMG_8433.jpegIMG_8432.jpegIMG_8436.jpegIMG_8427.jpegIMG_8424.jpegIMG_8419.jpegIMG_8418.jpegIMG_8335.jpeg

That's a lot of work digging into that "rock" you're calling soil.

Best of luck with your 2023 outdoor gardens ...

The terraced hillside is my favorite photo!!! Love it!!!(y)
 
Frost advisory tonight. I thought this was all behind us last week ... We covered the tomatoes and peppers in the raised beds behind the greenhouse.

And brought some potted tomatoes and peppers back into the greenhouse. Hopefully this is the last frost advisory until October ...

Bagseed survival of the most bug resistant outdoor front porch grow. Bubbling up some rain water and will add a 'wee' bit more nitrogen if you know what I mean swipe left.

Everything shown so far is so awesome, I’m almost afraid to post my humble first attempt in Mother Earth.

This is a clone that I took from the Apples and Bananas plant that I grew in the tent earlier this year.

Next year I want to grow a tree, so sativa will be my outdoor grow next year, God willing. But for this season, it’s an indica leaning hybrid.

How often should I water this thing? I’m not strong enough to lift the planter😜

It gets hotter than west hell here with the humidity of a blast furnace. This year is trending cooler, but we’re still seeing some 90s already. Last year we had a few months in the hundreds. My girlfriend lived in Sedona Arizona before here, it’s hotter here than it is in that part of az.
 
It's been a few days ...

My wife harvested the smallest of the autoflowers today. It was ready. It didn't give us a lot. My wife took pictures so I'll have to get them from her ... but here's the latest shot from the camera in the greenhouse.

Nice looking plant. What part of the country are you in? Bud rot tends to be a fall thing starting after Labor Day in Michigan. We're zone 5 here which is kind of a short summer.

As long as your plants are still in vegetative growth, you can use a product along the lines of "Southern Ag's Garden Friendly Fungicide." You would use it as a part of your preventative maintenance. You would want to establish a healthy colony of "garden friendly microbes" that feast on plant fungus.

You may also need a cheap cordless leaf blower this fall to help dry off the morning dew.
