My First Outdoor NW

motion detectors/ camera.. the motion detectors are awesome and work all season 4 double A batteries

nice frosty buds... haha gotta love that stray hair on buds lol im thinking of getting hair nets for indoor , and i think fabric flys off from clothes lol.

I didn't think about hair in the air. Yesterday, I was thinking that I will have to go over each bud and de-hair it every time I want a bowl.
But what the heck, new to growing in and out. Just another lesson learned.
Next time, will be using screen that they use on screen doors to cover the entrance.

Last week I had been looking at game cameras.
Getting at least 1 some time next month., budget constraints

Yea i pick at buds ever since i saw hair/fabric its like OCD. and i know what u mean its costly when u get ripped off from tweekers who sell it and smoke it and have (traffic) for 4 months straight after a month it was stollen. the sencers are a cheaper alternitive but the birds flying around can also trigger them at 4am LOL not fun

Hello,
Sunday one of my Donkey Kong broke, but there is hope. I took several cuttings.
We will see, if I can salvage something out of a this learning experience.
The DK broke pic is whats left.

On a happier note, the rest of the garden look great to me.
Hey @Mohican, The tomato pics have afghan x black dominia x skunk.

GREAT JOB for first time

Here is current status on outdoor Oregro,they are coming along very well middle of June got them may 8th i think querkle, spacebomb, Sour boggle<--- which is a newer 50 day indica smallest plants with slow vegg growth,but real tastey smoke i read. and then 'great white shark, god bod, Mr. Nice Guy ,perplex, which I read gets mold real Fast i read but i am gonna build a hoop house before September and just use Fans and stuff for the short light rains if we get them. and them 7 days of cloudy days lol

They look great.
Its great that you can put a hoop house.
On the mold issue, going to try GREENCURE or potassium bicarbonate, if my buds start moulding.
I put some on plants with PM, treated a couple of times, gone.

What is PM, iv heard of some milk/neem oil deal, but would greencure -Really- stop mold lol

greencure is potassium bicarbonate and is for PM, nukem works better on the PM in my experience. Try serenade or actinovate for the mold.

yea i was just reading about the potsssium b. on ask Ed.com
and mixing it with milk in 1 gallon of water thanks

@calicocalyx Thank you ,
Now I have more options.

No worries man you're welcome. To be honest though, I've found thinning and training the plant as well as bud structure and finish times, to be more effective with the mold. Not so sure the serenade or actinovate is better. Regular EWC tea seems to also keep the plant more vibrant and mold resistant too. I've grown and worked on farms from mendo to the valley, and the valley and coast range have to deal with mold alot so I base alot of my outdoor strategy around that. Banking on those 7 weekers finishing in time, but we'll see!

thats around early october in oregon aint it 7 weeks ? october 10th? what about 8 week plants that go untill 17th-21st are we not having a drier year?

let me look into my crystal ball..... actually looking like an el nino coming so wet winter/fall/spring. My strains are supposed to start being done in the end of august/early september. That would mean they start flowering end of june/ early july or in my case, probably as soon as I shut off the T5.

Does a hoop house with fans and clear visqueen plastic really help with mold since it keeps rain directly OFF the buds? my strains are 7 and 8 week ones

It buys you some time, but the wet night air and cloudy days eventually brings the mold, maybe a week or so if they can't dry out. Soon as that temp drops and the sun goes away it doesn't even matter if it doesn't rain, the plants slow wayy down. I'm going to build some high sided covers for each individual plant in the end get as much airflow as I can and keep the dew off. T posts and PVC. Aim for end of september at the latest. Of course if I was 200 miles south I'd perhaps get another few weeks in the end.
