Anyone in for growing trees? Summer Grow 2020

[Greengringo]

Been real busy these days so sorry for the long absence 😔 .this year's grow went fairly well the gg#4 had issues with wpm which is getting worse so she'll be getting the chop soon the g13 has no wpm so she will go another week maybe two depending on the weather conditions..the breeder, Barneys farm said g13 would grow 100 cm outdoors but she surpassed that which is why I had to build a third tier to support the colas.

Gingerbeard posted 2 tablespoons af apple cider vinegar in 1 quart of water does the job, I have tried it and it worked for me, completely gone in just 1 or 2 treatments. Some folks use this as a foliar feed as well.
Edit, Air flow, this is very important with WPM and bud rot, you may need to add a fan (or trim) for dew /Edit

 

[Greengringo]

Thanks Rwise i did read his post but just wondering would it be safe to use during the last week's of flower? And I do use many fans to keep air flowing through the canopies specially at night I'm to the way north of you and the climate is Changing quickly the Dew point is unreal to the point where water is easily visible..I found with the unbelievable side branching going on with the gg#4 I had to constantly keep clean and cutting branches off to keep the main branch areas open to allow air to flow through easily,I like to read what you post you seem very intelligent and have many years of growing outdoors and there's no bullshit with you..I thank you..here's a night shot of the g13 I took two weeks ago I will take one more shot before she gets chopped.

 

[Gingerbeard]

Yeah. That's a thing Greengringo . I haven't sprayed it on weed. However, the plumeria is blooming just fine.

 

[Rwise]

It has been in the low 40sF here already, and dew is an issue. Last year was worse, I take off inside and lower leaves to help, last year nothing within 18" of the ground.
I dont have any idea if the vinegar would taste, but I dont think it would be harmful to us, not like we would be smoking powdered vinegar. I think it will not last long on the plant, maybe a few days.

I concur it needs a couple more weeks. We will see if the weather holds.

Heck it's unusually warm here upper 80's f smokey skies but not too bad. Unfortunately seems to be hanging on till it rains again which won't be for a while. Went to Oregon coast yesterday and was smokey there also and very warm. Lots of campers from California trying to escape the fire storms there. Anyway....i'm not dealing with much PWM just a little on few leaves. It was real dewy for a couple of mornings humidity is low again. I'm just tired , tired of staying home watching the " grass " grow. It's what happens getting close to the end of growing, waiting 7+ months for it to end but it is and i had to go big for our family and friends this summer. So it's nice to see that some are being harvested who are doing outdoor. My Thai Skunk is not done like i hoped for was going to chop her today but she's still looking clear/cloudy. Only giving well water now will do another loupe look on Friday, all others are 30days more i reckon :sweating:

Lots of work trimming yesterday, 60+ quarts put up so far! More standing, hanging, to harvest, and in boxes waiting. I have hit all my storage buildings pulling quart jars and cleaning them up.
90*F here yesterday from a 40* morning
SoOrbudgal I would join in the rain dances for all y'all, but I made promises to never do it again. Last time my brother and I did a rain dance, it flooded like crazy (almost lost Keystone dam) our pond was washed out (more than 5 feet deep over the whole dam). I'll just hope this doesn't last to much longer. But what I see, the forecast doesn't look good.

 

[Booger789]

Our forecast is back to almost 90 by middle of next week. I am gonna keep letting my sativas put on bud size. But I am battling the worms. I seem to be getting ahead of them now. I’m not spraying just going over each stalk by hand and removing them. And the cool nights and mornings are really beginning to yellow leaves fast.

 

[AccidentalGardener]

Well poop. Smokey skies and crummy air again here in NW WA. Sadness. Eternally grateful to be in a tent, no matter how cramped it is.

Thinking about building a small green house for next year. Ventilation is still an issue.

 

[FunkyButtLovin]

I want one too and I have the same concerns. It's always something here, nothing comes easy in OK.

 

[Rwise]

I would luv to have a nice green house, one that will take at least F2 winds, I mean just look at my poor GG4 that got blown over, 80 mph wind gust, which we have a lot of each year. I looked into building a quonset hut type, but the cover was outrageous.

 

[Rwise]

Burping 60 jars is not fun! Watching the weather and the buds, Ms GSC is coming down today and hanging from her roots, some GG4 buds will go to rack, maybe some BB3 to rack also.
With this cool front, the RH has dropped, and the room is now at 45% RH, maybe some fresh buds will jump it back up to 50%.
I hope to have my soil more ready for next year than I was this year, and a lot of trees will be removed to expand the garden area, and let my girls get more hours of direct sunlight.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Rwise do you take off any or most of the leaf prior to cutting down and hanging? I'm starting to remove all the unwanted leaf from them as they near a day or so from harvest. But i'm not growing 10ft plants either so i get it. Do you use machine trimmer? I've done what you do now in the past when i was stronger. I just ran my hand over the plants after drying was all the trimming we would do. I'm looking at 3wks for my GSC outdoor.

 

[Gingerbeard]

Maybe I'm giddy from, so far, an extra dab, this morning. Got great news from the neighbor!

Whatever the case Rwise and FunkyButtLovin , and those who have property. Have any y'all thought about a bunker greenhouse? Dig down two or three feet and shore the walls. It would lower the profile of a greenhouse. Tall, sturdy cloches would work. Maybe hide the profile of an uncovered plant.

Seriously. Is this just the Hell OG and Watermelon Kush sauce and budder combination talking? Maybe the Maui Wowie raw hash? More experimentation. I must know.

 

[Booger789]

My girls still hanging in there. It got cold last night. I had to break out a damn hoody to go to work this morning at 5. Really beginning to yellow up also. I had one branch of the blue dream get broke off by dogs rasslin.. I dried it and had a smoke this afternoon and I’m high as shit right now.

 

[Booger789]

Bud Porn!!!!!!!

 

[Rwise]

SoOrbudgal I have removed some leaf, whats there on harvest day dries with them. My thought is it helps stabilized the buds, and then off to reductions with it. For me, I do a little at a time, and the buds stay long haired until broke up for the bong (other device). Some of what I am doing is old school vs new so I can see any dif for myself. All is done by hand, I have sticky fingers now, just trimmed a GG4. My GSC is now hanging by her roots.

If you can let me use your jack hammer and some TNT I might be able to dig a hole here, LOL
