I’m pulling caterpillars off my plant at an alarming rate, sprayed with spinosad and a couple other essential oil sprays including canna control.

Still have about 3 weeks to go for a full term delivery, wondering what I’d get if i took her down this early?

She does have many red pistils and is bulking up, but there really is a lot of growth to do, if only the bugs will allow it!

I think I messed up be no spraying weekly regardless! Next time!

Learning outside is a different animal. Challenges are totally different.

I’ll try again next year, probably. Can’t be a bad year every year, right?

I will certainly try again, but I’ll do things significantly differently next year.
I saw things happening and didn’t react quickly enough. Just lack of planning.

No mold today. But from what I read if you had it you always have it. Just need to stay on top of outbreaks.

AFAIK only down side to spraying is maybe taste, depending. And burnt pistils. Which I can live with. I check color of trichomes when I think it’s ready.

I’ll keep swinging until I see I can’t win or the buds get it. Then it’s over.

I will be the first to say harvest early~!
No joke..
I appreciate you are not in my region of the country ,but no matter where you are something is better than nothing.
Smoke said best... Best way to make a $ is to take the dime everytime.
Alot of people on the East coast are going to lose more than they have too.
You always get to try again, you don't get to take back time you hesitated.
I won't grow outside again probably ever. Middle NY here, but seems things are changing everywhere?

Night pic south side. Day pic north side.


Buds from yesterday.


Trimmed the southern part of the hedge and now a second street light is like a spot light on half the plant. No flash was used at 9pm.

 

[freezeland]

Another couple tops gone to rot.

 

[Garbage_bear]

This years Black Dog Kush is coming along nicely. Starting to turn purple with the colder nights up here. Smelling super grape terps. Greenhouse grown. I’m trying to let this thing go amber and lock me to the couch! It’s got a few weeks.

 

[Moshmen]

My friend got nervous and cut early but unconvinced him to leave the lowers and see how long we can go

 

[Moshmen]

Nothing is easy....below are 2 gifted 'genuine Thai' plants and the Japanese cucumber started from seed. I know enuf to keep them off the ground hence the trellis....

Time to take down the garden. Tomatoes and peppers are still growing but the rest have halted. Cold and damp are taking a toll.

"I turned my collar to the cold and damp." But the peppers and maters don't have any clothes, let alone collar. Weed plant outdoor very impressive.

I have seen so many people have to toss plants from mold. I think a simple hoop house with good fans would solve that problem. You can build one for not too much $$$

New York is not an outdoor growers friend. We basically live in a rain forest, but its not even nice

Ive tried photos outdoor 2 years now and have yet to harvest anything worth while. This year was a 100% bust, last year i got 4 ozs from 3 plants...
When i ran autos i did wayyyy better so im thinking about going back

Wow that sucks. I’m in Oregon so it’s not bad. I guess early autos are the way where you live.

All ....

I'm pretty much centrally located in the lower 1/3 of the mitten state. Wild weather swings are well known for Michigan. After attempting photoperiod plants outdoors for several years and dealing with the fall rot/mold/mildew issues, I switched to auto-flowering plants for this summer's run. I was able to get 2 complete runs through my greenhouse. Better yet, I cut the very last plant down the Saturday before Labor Day. I had almost zero rot ... and no WPM this year. I started my first run in late March indoors and my second in mid may indoors. First run was 12 plants. The second was 11 (the 12th seed failed to germinate). Other than you do need to put some thought in what auto-flower strains you grow (some are pretty low in THC), auto-flowers are absolutely the way to rock out a couple of harvests in a northern summer.

Peace and happy growing friends ....

Just finished chopping and washing. Glad to see another cross the line. Been a tough year.

1 plant doing OK, but still being eaten by bugs, despite spraying procrop1 and some neem/glycerine/Dr. Bronner peppermint. Thinking about moving shorty into full sun. Think 2 much not do Enuff (note to self), but that fence holds the plants in place during real windstormz come in. Love this time of the year here.
