2023 Outdoor Plants Only Show & Tell

Strawberry Cough x3. The buds are starting to thicken up. Can't say it smells like strawberries but definitely something sweet like maybe bubble gum. Way different than the diesel smell of all my previous grows. The pot warmers aren't keeping the plants as warm as I like but they are doing maybe +5F over ambient. I was running the ventilator 24/24 but today I added logic to turn it off if the temp goes below 60F. It was down to 50F last night. The concrete slab must hold some heat but it won't do much good with me running a 2000 cfm exhaust fan, so now I turn the fan off it's cold. There are still 4x interior fans blowing on the plants. Fingers crossed that I don't get mold.

Nice job for first timer.

Those freaks make such luvely buds.

Since last post I chopped part of the Colombian Purple as it will not have time to finish with 10-20 weeks flower time and no flowers. Winter will hit early here, all the bugs and trees tell me this, the hickory nuts and pecans are dropping without a frost, leaves turning already soon to fall off. I think the 8 Ball Kush will finish next, the Colombian Purp I hope has time to finish before frost. The last plant, one of my own crosses should be ready in a few weeks, just before frosts. My PH has risen to above 7.0, top dressing with powdered sulfur to bring it back in line (slowly). Its been a good year here!

Ckbrew Sorry to hear about the bud rot Ck. I'm watching my GG4 especially close as it has very dense buds
and definitely could be prone to rot. The white widow has much more airy buds so not quite as susceptible. Mystery girl's
are dense as well. I hate the last month of an outdoor growing! The good news here is it's feeling more like Fall and the air
has gotten noticeably drier and doubtful we'll see another above 80 degree day. Hopeful the labor of moving plants inside at night w/fan blowing and windows open will pay off on this end. All the best. Have begun to work on my pre-winter check list, need to put new belts on my snowblower

I didn't smoke the black stuff, it looks terrible that. On mine it looked like it was eating the bud from the outside as where it was located there should have been nicely shaped bud but that was gone and a blackness on what was remaining if the bud where it was eating its way in.

But I did cut the non effected parts of the bud and smoked them....I promised myself I wouldn't do that again. It was the roughest stuff I've ever had. I have only recently researched that black stuff and found it is likely the more mature grey mold we see early on in its life cycle, bud rot or Botrytis cinerea. I didn't think it was the same mold but apparantly it is, just later stage growth.

This rot on these is almost black and very aggressive. No way would I ever consume it. I didn't take any pix of it, there was so much there I just cut it as fast as possible. I almost backed the car over it- by accident I think...

[Bluey]

Franklin Yes it can. I should have put a warning on that post. The thongs we do when desperate

[Franklin]

Bluey I'm not sure if this is what you meant, but please don't ever smoke or vaporize anything with Bud rot or black mold. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say it can literally kill you.

[Reefer]

Thanks for the advice soorbudgal! Much appreciated.

[Bluey]

🤞 I've smoked it before when desperate. Both the normal grey mold that starts on the inside and looks a bit like the white spider webby stuff and also the black mold that eats the buds from the outside. I just cut out the stuff that I can see.

The black stuff effected buds was terribly rough.....pretty disgusting actually.

[Bluey]

Looking good

Racing to the finish, not nearly there, the challenges are happening. After 5 days of rain and hiding in the barn there was one day of sun, a little heat, and lots of humidity. Put them in the sun and the manifolded plant is showing a serious case of bud rot. I cut a bunch off this morning and this evening there is more. All the cuttings from evening are in the bowl. I will inspect in the morning and see how it looks. I may need to put it down. Hurricane is passing by and more rain is coming, more time in the barn.



Many mushrooms again.
