leadville co, elevation 10700 feet, has gotten hard frosts in july.

evergreen co, elevation 8600 feet, has seen two feet of snow in early june.

the growing season at 10000 feet is approximately 25 days. growing at 10000 feet without a heated greenhouse is a recipe for an eventual total crop failure.

if you're gonna pipe up, you might as well be helpful.

well i cut my day 72 bubblegum down. This was the one i thought started to hermie on me at the beginning of flower so i put her outside. I wanted to go longer but i found a few premature seed on her so i decided to chop before she got out of control with making new seeds. After trimming i was surprised how dense and sticky these outdoor buds got.

Sorry its been such a long update. Ive had camera phone issues but i just got my new camera todayDSCN0001.JPG DSCN0002.JPG DSCN0004.JPG headband thats slowly flowering for the past 40 days
DSCN0005.jpg DSCN0006.jpg and I've been really busy building my greenhouse which has been fun and now that the structure is up i feel a good accomplishment for my first structure build, but it still has a lot of ways to go. Like a door and shelves and greenhouse plastic wrapped around it. So the past 2 weeks have been rainy in the evenings but this past week its been rainy all day. My plants in veg love it but my big bubblegum in flower I'm a little nervous since theres not been much time for it to dry but hopefully my green house structure will help. I didn't get any pics of it but i will later tonight

so heres some pics of my bubblegum with her fat buds. She has definitely swelled up but i brought her into my tent last night because i didn't have my greenhouse tarp yet and its been rainy really really bad here non stop for a week and it looks like i have another week of this rain. My question is should i put her back outside/greenhouse or should i leave her in the tent and let her get some artificial light since i have some room in the tent and maybe bring her back out after these monsoon rains. I worried of getting moldy crapy bud. what should i do.photo 3-2.JPGJuly 2nd vs[/ATTACH] July 31stDSCN0031.jpg DSCN0028.JPGDSCN0029.JPG DSCN0030.jpg

dude thats my main concern at the moment. Its been non stop rain for at least a week now. I was digging the week before where it was sunny all day till 5 then it rained for a hour and it was sunny again but this non stop rain has me worried of bud rot. Shes all dry now but I'm just thinking of keeping her in the tent for a week and hopefully it dies down soon. Im just happy i didn't plant her in the ground and used big containers instead

i was late to add the cage so it worked best if i used it upside down and bent the top over. Its done its job so far.

so all of my plants in the green house are doing great. ill update pics tomorrow. As far as my bubblegum that i was worried about mold is doing great. Its beeb under my 600hps for over a week now and I'm seeing a lot of new hairs popping up but it looks a little weird to me. I made a big mistake and never wrote the date down for when she started to flower some I'm a little unclear at the moment. If i was to guess i would say around day 65 to 70. Not really sure if i should put her back outside since its stopped raining or if i should leave her inside to finish up but then i also don't know when i should cut her. I almost think i can cut her down now but would hate to miss the last growth spurt.
