5/18 I drove posts in attached 7ft garden stakes in a square around my 50 gal pot and a couple grow bags (30, 40). I'm trying to maximize my space and break the labor into smaller pieces. On the fifty gallon pot I just left the vertical trellis from last year. I'll adjust once they are transplanted. Plants are growing like....well a weed. Ph has gone down to a nice 6.4 on the majority of plants. I last watered with rain water. It won't be long now and these girls will be in their final homes. 5/19 Brought all plants out in the cage to soak up some rays. They will be transplanted as soon as I have the opportunity. They must be fairly hardened by now. They are receiving a few hours of direct sunlight a day. They are getting way to big for those 3 gal pots. With the wind I hope they don't tip over. I've taken some precaution. I'm going back over to pound stakes and attach bamboo/poles to them to run the trellis. I've noticed a touch of WPM which in this area is almost impossible to avoid. Potassium bicarbonate is I'm the future. I've got a lot of work to do. 5/20 Watered plants with One gallon of Phed water. I didn't want to drench them since I'm planning on transplanting as soon as the weather allows. I've noticed some small deficiencies on older leaves. I'm hoping it is from ph fluctuation. I've taken more pictures but the wifi in this area is touchy and they don't want to seem to load. The sites that I FIMed have all created three more main branches. I love this technique as it allows me to utilize much more vertical growth (The sky's the limit!). I really needed to add an extension to my grow cage however I'm just running less plants. 5/21 Last couple days have been dreary and rainy. I'm hoping for good weather tomorrow so that the ladies can be in their final home. I believe they are hardened enough for a smooth transition. I've noticed SLIGHT (and I mean REALLY slight) nute burn on a couple leaves but the are only in happy frog and have received no extra nutrients. I've also noticed spots that look like pH fluctuation. That would make sense. My ph had been running high and I have since adjusted my water. My USB scope shit the bed so I need to order another. I grabbed mykos and another trellis net and I'm pretty sure I have everything to "correctly transplant". It's gonna be tight. Again. 5/23 Glad I held off transplanting. Huge storm brought down limbs. Treated plants with potassium bicarbonate for WPM. Timer got switched to "outlet" mode somehow. Don't know when. I flipped it back. I'm going back over later and will update. UODATE: Went back over and attached 6ft bamboo/garden poles to the grade stakes where the bags will sit. I have everything framed out for trellising except the spot where my soil is sitting. I also attached my wind break tarps with better Bungie cords. I'm trying to break the work up a little. Weather is looking good. Plants seem to respond well to sunlight and high wind. I should probably mix my soil and put it in the bags the day before i transplant. If so it may be a few days. Plants are doing great have substantial growth with vibrant green leaves. Of course after working with them all day I pull out the camera to take a few pictures and the phone powered off. Oh well. I'll upload more pictures tomorrow. I watered using rain water I collected that looked like it had a ph of 6. My soil meter reads my plants soil pH anywhere from 6.4-7.5. 5/24 Another beautiful day. Plants got several hours direct sunlight. I have my timer on 17/7 trying to mimic outside as close as possible. I cleaned the cage and mixed the soil and set everything up for transplants tomorrow. I have everything I need. I could do it tonight but I'm tired and they'll keep. Feels good to get some of this stuff done.

This is more a "website specific" ? Fone has no storage and won't allow me to take pictures. Is there a way to upload photos directly to the grow diary app ,without using the memory of phone. Like on FB when you can just take a fresh picture? Just trying to make it till its fixed

How much pH down can I add to water to safely lower the pH of my soil? It's h frog and I've only watered a couple times. They were rootbound when got in 1g and I transplant to 3g. Ph is like 7.5-.8.5 with a soil gauge. Any other ideas? Thanks folks.

You never want to adjust out of range. As others have said your plants look good so no need to get it in range by flushing with PH water. Continue as normal, But make sure your water is in the range of 6.0-7.0. Never go out of that range even when adjusting.

Bugs definitely spread disease. Leaf hoppers specifically caring many diseases. This grow is destroyed because of fusarium oxysporum. I don't want people getting misinformation.

Can someone please look over this week and last week of my diary? I've lost two massive plants in the span of a couple days time. One may have been rootbound (in 50 gals) and this is in a 20gallon. Roots did smell a little musty. Should I try a peroxide flush? Any other ideas?

Damn... I don't know what to say except that I'm growing here in Maine myself and it HAS been a bitch of a season! And I chose THIS year to do my first-ever outdoor grow... It sure sounds to me like root rot - but that wouldn't make any sense if the ground underneath them was dry! I know you want to learn - and maybe someone else will be able to point you in a logical direction - but you've asked the commercial grower and I'll echo what he said: shit happens... and 1 (now 2) plants in 4 years... you shouldn't be ashamed!! The humidity has been grotesque, the heat, the bugs, the fungus, the wind, the everything... I'd take this opportunity to, as you said, to spread your grow out a little bit to get better air flow through the rest of your grow. One thing popped into my head as I was reading what the commercial grower said to you... I've just recently read a rather crazy article about how we're planting trees (bear with me) the wrong way... that we encourage them to become rootbound... that we should instead of digging a nice round hole, dig a square hole (sounds daffy to me) and KEEP THE BOTTOM OF THE HOLE SLANTED, planting the tree at the top of the little hill so the roots are encouraged to grow DOWN, not AROUND... So all of that to say, if these were clones, maybe they DID get rootbound in their circular pots and needed more encouragement to grow DOWN... like bottom watering at the beginning? Just a thought.... (and most of that thought was a little weird!)... Good luck, man... I think we here in Maine, like in so many other parts of the world, are going to have to contend with conditions we've never had to contend with before... but onward and upward... Good luck.....

Yikes! I've never dealt with this myself nor do I know of anyone who HAS ... but JUST today I was reading several articles on fungus and that name kept popping up.... here are some links if you haven't tried to find the answer elsewhere: This guy on youtube has a LOT of fairly good vids on cannabis - this is his on fusarium... www.youtube.com/watch If you don't want to hear him drone on, this is a good article: https://www.lahuertagrowshop.com/blog/en/how-to-prevent-and-get-rid-of-fusarium-in-cannabis/ The youtube guy has THIS on Pythium: www.youtube.com/watch And a really good article on it: https://www.growopportunity.ca/pythium-a-fungal-devastation-to-avoid/ GOOD LUCK - omg good luck!

Hey folks. I'm looking to do indoor this winter. I'd like to get a tent with everything kinda ready to go. I would like a nice light ad well. Would I be better off buying a complete tent or buying each item separately. Looking to fit a few plants. Lookin 4 opinions

A couple of 2x4's some screws and tacks, and some black and white plastic from the hydroponic store and you can build any size tent you like. You can use a cheap pond liner from home depot for the floor, then you can water to runoff all you like and just vacuum it up with a wet vac.

Hey Smeagol, you need a transparent roof. Since you have a ready-made metal structure, to build a roof with trasparent PVC will be easy and cheap and It will drastically reduce the problems related to excessive soil moisture. To fight earwigs consider a systemic pyrethroid, if stigmas aren't yet apperead this will be absolutely safe. It's the time to think to build a greenhouse for her

Rap_a_capcommented2 years ago
@masterofsmeagol, at this stage your plants are compromised and a cheapy plastic top will protects them from morning dew but don't expect miracles. In a dryer climate like mine a soft plastic top is enough and in case of hail I promptly add a plastic net layer. The plastic cover is fixed while the net is removable. I've used PE ultra clear plastic tablecloths (5 dollars). For the next year think to build a top with rigid plastic like polycarbonate (here 5 sq. meters cost 250 bucks). You have to control the amount of water that reaches the ground trying to keep the environment dry even if it always rains. Planting into the ground requires anyway a drainage layer, 1.30 ft minimum is obligatory. In plain soil plants can withstand everything

masterofsmeagolcommented2 years ago
@Rap_a_cap, you are right this year. However all the prior years were fine? My commercial friend said that putting a top on "just so buds don't get wet" is pointless. They will be covered in morning dew everyday and if the roof collapses it can crush everything. He said the hails devastating though. He uses pallet bags to cover his. I still think I can get MOST of the rain off the plant and soil with a top. If not maybe bags? May cage is just wire. The sides are all open.

Rap_a_capcommented2 years ago
@masterofsmeagol, you're always welcome. It's clear at this point that all issues of yours are caused by too wet environment. Do you want to win the battle with Maine's climate? Change the grow site, spend time to properly prepare the soil in winter, plant your next girls directly into the ground and never defoliated the plants.

Oh this is so painful to see - but you're right to keep the diary going - so OTHERS can see and so you, yourself can look back to see if you missed something and when. I'm SO sorry... Maine's weather has NOT been good to outdoor crops at all this year.... we can only hope NEXT year is better - and turn to our indoor grows... at least THERE, we don't have to contend with Mother Nature...

@GrowingGrannie, yes it sure is a sorry sight. Yeah the weather where i am has been crazy. I havent seen anything like it. Oh well though. Thats ok. We cant hit a grandslam every time we are up to bat. I changed the diary name so it might aid others in finding it. I should've taken the last two down today. I was busy though. I have a feeling tomorrow may be the end of the last two infected. Well.....that I know are infected. Blueberry MAAAY be but it isn't showing the same signs. It has some issues for sure but not the stem cancer or staining or the wilt. Yet. Only time will tell. No sigms of on the cuttings i took either. Ill put some pictures of those uo as well. Those look healthy. Thanks for stopping by @GrowingGrannie

Hey Smeagol, why do you use pots instead of plain soil? Local laws? Your choice? Stay safe Mate
masterofsmeagol
masterofsmeagolcommented2 years ago
@Rap_a_cap, well it's a combination of a few different things. Mainly it's because I can't dig at this location. I'm hoping to change locations next year. I'd prefer to go in ground where the soil is better. However, using bags or pots allows me the ability to transport them inside a very large building (used to house heavy equipment) if it becomes necessary. It usually doesn't but it's nice to have the option. Even though by fall the bags are usually rooted right to the ground....Thanks for stopping by! Happy growing my friend!

Hey, really nice diary. I was looking at your fox farm review..(about the salt) have you tried Green House Feeding mineral line, that mixed with their bioenhancer seems to be doing me ok. Still some tip burn, but putting that down to me. Some lovely results.. so lucky to have outdoors.

Hey fellow growers. If any of you veteran outdoor growers wouldn't mind, take a look at my diary and leave some constructive criticism. It would be good to hear from other folks.
