The temperature dropped to 29 degrees F. last night. Luckily my father helped move them to the barn where heat was applied and 2 150 watt hps lights were hung. Weather looks unseasonable cold. I need to work to bring these plants back.

LAST FEED 9/14
FINALLY ABLE TO ACCESS THIS SITE AGAIN. EVERYTIME I TRIED IT SAID "UNDER MAINTENANCE"
9/21 Like I said earlier I wacked the little mendo breath and the two other mendo breath phenomes. I used my 1000x scope and it turned out amazing. My girls have had three frosts in a row! They still look like they are going strong! I'm feeling better which is good because that was getting in my way of things that needed doing.
9/24 I know I've been away for a while but I've also been extremely sick the past six weeks. I was also locked out of my account. That little mendo breath runt ended up with about 80 grams dried. I couldnt believe it and that's with the Larfy shit thrown away. I donate to the best dispensary an hour away. It felt good to hear the compliments. I'm feeling better and have rearranged the garden. I didnt water today but I fed yesterday the 23rd. 6tsp big bloom 5tsp grow big 5 tsp tiger bloom 2 tsp calman in a 5 gallon bucket.
9/26 Thoroughly watered all plants. These plants seem to have far more artichokes than the mendo breath I harvested and that shit is fire. I really hope I get at least another month. If not I may be forced to harvest early. Many people have lost many plants after 3 frosts. Weather is good but rain is in the forecast. I need some advice and I need to consult some locals.
9/29 Apparently I cant start a new week unless I label it as harvest. I'll just write here until it's fixed. It rained last night. These buds are really REALLY frosty. 4 frosts already. I've got two days of rain coming. I'm worried about bud rot. Plants are only a couple weeks until they are ideally done. All milky so I could take it now. I've still got a lot to trim and I'm still sick. I think I'll take some tips and branches that looked like the are struggling with weight and harvest some if those. A bird in the hands worth two in the Bush. I'll use my 1000x scope first
10/3 Still not able to add a new week unless I push on the harvest button. I'm not doing that because I havent even trimmed those two huge plants and the dwarf. I dont know how much was there but I will add pictures of the buds. It came out better than I could have ever hoped. Relaxing couch lock body high with ZERO paranoia or anxiety. I compared this mendo heath strain with strains at the best dispensary around and honestly I like my outdoor better. I donated some to the dispo and they came back wanting to buy some lol. This strain helps me with my anxiety and my wife's PTSD better than any other cannabis we've tried. I can tell you off the dwarf that I almost culled I pulled almost 70 grams off! The others I have in pickle sized jars and regular mason jars. I had been so fucking sick though that I've still got two strings across my HUGE barn still full of bud. This strain was a big producer. Buds are huge. I'll take a picture and I'll try to upload the video I took this morning. We've had three days of rain. I checked with my scope and the rest of the girls need two MAYBE three weeks left. I cut off feeding which I dont know if it's the right move but I figured this way I will have a proper flush. I still go there daily and defoliate anything dead and shake off the dead branches. Anyway I'm going to burn one. I'll try to upload the video.

Hello fellow growers. My slurricane and mendo breath were transplanted outside in Maine. I've since experienced high winds and very low temps at night. Last night I moved them to the heated barn with two 150hps lights above them. What can I do to help my girls along. Thanks every

I don’t move the plants outside for another few weeks due to unpredictable weather. Keep them warm and safe, until it’s at least 45-50 at night where you are. Don’t want to risk stunting them and your harvest, or worse. As far as wind, I’ve used 3foot bamboo stakes, or even if a pinch- a chopstick to support the stem. Just do it sooner rather then later, as there will be less of a chance you will damage any roots on the way down. See me critical purple diary for pics :)

I live in maine and have several plants approximately 6ft tall in a fence that I made. However I'm getting lots of wind and trees block some sun in the evening. My question is should I move plants, dismantle my fence to move them closer to the house for direct light and wind blok

if it adds hours of light or you think the wind could cause damage, i'd say it is worth the effort. How much light and how much danger? how difficult to move the stuff, etc. If not a ton more light, can put up some wind blockers.

My outdoor grow is housed in a fence/building that's 12x12 and 8ft high.(See diary for pics). Since the trees have filled out they are blocking some direct sun. If I moved EVERYTHING over it would be a huge pain but would receive more direct sun. What would you guys do? Worth it?

Thank you for your answers. The structure stays where it is. They get approximately two hours of shade or "ambient light" before the sun is back around. Seeing that I've been dealing with heat and light stress I'm glad I kept it where it was. I've thinned put some trees which also allows for better placement of additional cameras and devices. I also have poles that can be thrown on top in a jiffy if needed and a tarp that can go up quick. I also took several air mattresses and cut them apart and zip ties and gorilla glue/taped them. It's big enough to throw over the top. If we get hail or other horrible things I'll be ready I'm glad I did this as the first tornado I've heard of touched ground about half hour away.

Hello
Buy some dr bonners castile soap, and make a water/soap spray(its basically homemade insecticidal soap) it works amazing and breaks down the outer body of soft bodied insects. I also recommend getting old stages green cleaner because it kicks but on any mites and also fights pm like crazy.👍
*i usually keep neem around also because you can use alone or add to the green clean for about 2 months of cure.

kinda depends on region and how much vege growth you are going to get - all about size of the plant at the end as far as what you "need."
i know at smaller sizes "they" say 1 gallon per 1-foot of vertical growth, but not sure how well that translates to larger plants outdoors. If it's growing taller than 4-5 feet, i'd go with a 20-gallon. you can assess rootball and how much it filled it out when you harvest and determine if you can go down a size or not based on comfort of the roots in the pot. (ie not rootbound)
outside you should be thinking kg not g. 😁 muahahaha!

Hello
If you were going indoors you'd go off the light hours and start bloom at 12/12.
But with us outdoor grows i would usually bring in the open sesame as soon as there was a good boost of preflowers but in nice low doses once a week or two weeks.
My outdoor typically starts to flower here at the beginning/ mid August, so i would go ahead and start the tiger bloom at some low doses now until you see the flowers develop and then start using full doses.

Hello
If you're having heavy weather then i would suggest reapplying your treatments. I personally have had the best success with making a soap water spray but i use Dr Bonner's castile soap, something about Castile soap has a better ability to break down their outer body...yes regular soap works too but consider getting some dr b. The soaps have to be used several times as they are a pretty gentle method and wash off easily.
If moisture is a concern for any PM or things like that you could invest in old stages green clean which is very good at battling pm and mites and some other bugs too.
Good luck with the tornado's, your outdoor is looking beautiful. ✌️

Quick question. How do you outdoor growers feed. Ex.g,
Say I feed a gallon of mixed PHed nutes to my crop. Do you water as well? What if the soil is already wet like from a rain? If so before or after the nutes? I've looked online EVERYWHERE and cannot find an answer. Thank

Hey friend,
So i think it's open to interpretation, that's why there isn't a lot of specific guidelines like indoor.
I've done grows where i top dress the dry amendments once a week or once every two weeks and then it breaks itself down into the soil with every watering. It worked well for the most part.
Then I've done liquid nutrients and when i do that i have my days of plain Ph'd water, and then the days where i feed i just mix up all the water i need with all the nutrients and soak each pot entirely. Either using a 3 gallon bucket or a 5, but you can always do 1 gallon especially if you notice one plant is needing more or less of something than the others.
Rain water is so good for plants, so don't let that disrupt your schedule unless it's been raining so much for many days to where the soil is basically all wet. Because then you might end up over watering. But definitely take advantage of rain when you can. It's higher in oxygen and helps free up many micronutrients. 👍

I use those ingredients per 1 gallon. I also rotate sprayings with a 1 part water to 1 part milk. I also spray varients with mineral oil and cold pressed neem oil. You may not ever get rid of the mildew, but you can significantly control it. Cutting off affected growth using sterilized methods keeps it at bay also. Don't help spread it.

You need a ph tds reader to feed the proper amounts, keep an eye on the amount of ec coming from your runoff and ph is in proper range. Nothing I see looks to bad, just water for a week or 2 until your ec lowers if you feel safe to do so, if not then flush them and feed at half the rate. Less is best, you can easily remedy underfed plants. Pain in the arse to fix overfed plants and it hurts your final yield. Cheers friend

If you're flushed, then you can start feeding at a regular amount. Once you've brought the ppms of the runoff down to or less than your feed, then you're all set. If your runoff ppms start climbing again, you're overfeeding. In a perfect world, your ppms would be the same going in as coming out so aim for that.

Hello. I tried something new this year and was happy with the result. The product is White Wash a frequency altered water. Yes it is a bit pricy if you only use it once. But if you put a large tray under where you sprayed, you can catch the runoff and reuse it till you have no more, with no drop in effectiveness. Good Luck. Chuck.
