2023 Outdoor Plants Only Show & Tell

[Bluey]

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.

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

How many freaks have you got?
They are producing nice healthy 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!

Those freaks make such luvely buds.

Nice job for first timer.

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.

Good work Giz.

I think you're doing all you can to avoid bud rot. It's looking really good too.

The Girl Scout Cookies are starting to stack up now. Not super sticky yet but really greasy. The Freaks are finally getting
that lighter fluid / grapefruit smell that I love. It's been an underwhelming season for me. The plants are very healthy but
lack the size and density I was hoping for. I think the lack of sunshine in most of May and June then the brutal heat of
August took its toll. Weather is absolutely perfect now but shorter days are keeping them from full potential. I'll be lucky
to yield half of what I got last year.

I only have the 1 plant she's a crooked gal one sided leaner LOL her name is " Ilean " lol

 

[GreenState]

SoOrbudgal I believe I have a relative of "Ilean" 's.
Thank goodness for the added cage.
Fall has arrived here, 40's at night, 60-low 70's daytime...Plants are loving the temps

Hello my friends, we finally got some cooler weather, this past week and it looks like it's going to stay in the upper 70's for the next 10 days. I'm going on vacation Oct 2. So I'm hoping to harvest on 1st.i have notice some thrips so I released 1500 lady bugs into the screen room. That was about a week ago. Still seeing them buggers. Was thinking of spraying a hydrogen proixide mixture. What do you guys think?

 

[Bluey]

I've used soapy water in the past successfully on these. Wasn't much if an infestation and it got rid of them after a week. I'd spray every 2 to 3 days or after rain. I don't spray buds.

 

[johnb1963]

Unfortunately I have buds! Last two weeks. I definitely wouldn't put soap on my buds. But the peroxide would hurt the buds. I use it to bud wash and I read that it will kill all soft body bugs.

 

[Ckbrew]

H2O2 degrades to O2 and water, so no chemical contamination risk. It will be like putting water on your buds.

Its been Very cool the last week, over nights in the low 40's no bright sun to speak of, mostly cloudy. Just got done pouring for 2 hours so ill have to blast the girls with the leaf blower today. My Gusher plant has begun to re-veg fer fuck sakes! Thanks to a motion sensor camera that follows movement with a really bright spotlight...and a really persistent spider that wouldnt fuck off. kept setting the camera and light off i think. White widow and Sour diesel are doing ok, im amazed at how much crud gets stuck in them every day. Lots of feathers lately..got a hawk that's terrorizing the morning doves.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

We've begun a cooling trend here now also. Mid 70's and still zero rain, not good. I've seen hawks take down morning doves at my sister's house she's got alot of feeders for her song birds and such. Doves hang out there also and man what a sight to see these hawks slam into a dove poof nothing left but feathers.

Leaf blower ...good idea - know right where mine is at....Plants have nice airy structure, a must for us who grow out side in colder wet weather,
