Currently about 4 weeks in. Looking to be done somewhere between the 26th and the 7th. Yields are looking decent but still a long way to go.
Weather- what a fucking nightmare. High winds, strong storms, heavy rains. Thankfully wind damage has been reduced to a few branches. Thank you armor si!
Humidity has been in the 100% range at night and 90% or more during the day.
Using Trifecta and Neem Oil to fight the PMD along with cutting away heavily infected areas. Dunking at the end of the season for outdoor now just became reality. See what I can do to fight the menace.
Defoliating- opened them up pretty heavy and they were fine with it. Been feeding them heavy PK plus sugars. The finish line is closing in probably do two more feedings and cut it off.
The only thing I can think of is to remove real weeds from around your plants. Then maybe put some plastic on the ground around them. Try and keep the humidity off of them. Not sure what your security worries are. Your in a tough spot, have to work with the cards you been dealt. You did a nice job and I wish you the best of luck.
@Pjm70,
I have used sand in the past. However the heavy rains have kept it really green in the NH this year so it’s a pretty dead give away to thieves or the constabulary. One of these had to come down the other day. Too much bud rot moving in.
