Rough week really, apart from day 91 it's been so hot here it's played havoc with the grow. This is why i should have taken the scheduled break. I don't think the weather has done much damage but it can't carry on like that for much longer.
This week could have been worse. I'm checking all plants incase the heat has caused any to hermie.
#1 is shaping up quite nice. Has struggled a little with this heat wave.
Hell yeah thats dope. Mine got taken out by catapillers or a weird snow storm that come through. Same with the budrot the year before. Hopefully a greenhouse will make a little difference. @Hashy,
@Chubbs, mine are done out in the wild Gorilla style. Last year's was a year of slugs eating everything in sight. Year before last was the year of bud rot, weather turned to quickly and destroyed my crop.
