High winds
masterofsmeagolstarted grow question 4 years ago
I'm in central maine. We have trop storm warning w high winds 40-50mph. I was thinking if things got bad enough I could put tarps or something around my entire fence and secure them while also staking and securing the entire structure. Pic is structure months ago. Thoughts?

Tropical storm warning was canceled last minute. We got some hard rain but it just did my plants some good. I have them pretty well supported as is. Not even a broken branch. They actually looked BETTER if anything lol.

You got it! Just tarp them and stake it or tie it down. They could still look a little rough after the storm, but they will recover nicely. I'm down in MA and we're getting it now. It's not as bad as they said it was going to be. I doubt you'll see the winds they are predicting :)

Hmmm, winds are really hard to deal with.
If you use anything to try and block, and it becomes a sail, at 45mph.
You definitely want to stake down, support the wooden(?) frame, if you use a solid something as the wind break.
I would try a porous material like a gunny sack, or thin cloth to slow the wind, but not break it entirely. That way, it reduces the stress on your support system.
A big GOOD LUCK, against the wind!👍

How to prevent humidity spikes during dark periodsMy humidity is still spiking during the dark period. Going from about 60% to 85%. I have 2 dehumidifiers in the tent connected to a controller and they don't seem to be putting a dent in the RH. Is there a better way to go about managing the humidity during dark periods?
Thanks!Week 9

CustomsGood morning!
So, I know this a strange question to ask here but I didn´t knew wherelse to do it.
I bought a LED light from china that got stuck on customs. I live in a illegal place and I´m kinda scared of this situation. Do you think I can get flagged on customs for it?

Autopots - switch on, or wait?I have 2 plants in 15 liter auto pots. They have been in their final pots and being top fed for 2 weeks, which should be long enough to switch on, but I read that I should wait until the leaves are as wide as the pot. What do people think based on the current size?

How's the trichomes look?Not the best pics, but do these trichomes look cloudy? First time trying the microscope, still working on technique. I don't even know if these are on the bud or leaves lol. I'm just trying to get a sense of what clear vs cloudy looks like.

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?

Thoughts about harvestingHello guys ! This question is about my Purple Queen Auto.
She's a little bit over 8 weeks old now (5 weeks into flowering) and I really don't know when to harvest her.
I know about the trichrome method but I only have my eyes to zoom haha
So, when do you think she will be ready?

About how long for trichome maturing?Since I am seeing some cloudy trichomes, what kind of timeframe am I looking at moving forward? I'm thinking I want to harvest when I'm between 20-50% amber trichomes, so when I start to see some amber, about how long do I have before I need to chop? Days? Week?Week 11
