nice... yeah want to build one next season.
sorry about the rough weather. What kind of soil are you using?

It's a fairly complete mix of manure, aeration, peat moss, rock dust and the typical other ingredients. Clover planted around them.

I knew there was manure lol. Your stalks are the size of mine and I just have not seen that growth rate from a super soil.
You are doing a wonderful job.
How warm does your green house stay in the fall and how long does it extend your season?
A pic of mine....

That would work for too much water.

Well just got from my plot and I guess the water was to much and the mud was to thick. I didn’t see not one of my babies I’m sick as hell right now!!! So smart pots and soil it is smfh and another 2 weeks waiting for more babies to come in.

Plastic pots would work too. I ask at nurseries and often get them for free. If it's that wet, just bury the bottom couple of inches.

As late as it is, you will not need really big pots.

That’s the way they are now directly in the ground. I’m just afraid that the area takes on to much water after our heavy rains (never drizzles only tsunami when it does) so I was thinking maybe don’t bury the pot completely? Keep it somewhat elevated? Idk just a theory

technique called "swamp tube" might help you in the future. @thumper60 uses them I think. also a good step by step here https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=128065

I am really truly sorry to hear this. What a bummer for sure!
No matter what method you use next season I hope that you think about including polymer crystals into the mix.

Good luck from here on out.

The greenhouse is pretty amazing really, even though it's cheap. If sun hits the greenhouse and it's say 15 celsius outside it will be over 20 degrees inside. As long as the plants stay dry they take the cold pretty well but only to a certain point. I was harvesting right up to the end of October last year. Lost some because it just didn't finish in time but they were the only seeds I had around so just a bad strain choice on my part. These plants will hopefully be done near the end of September which will mean losing nothing basically.

It's been in the high 30's here for a few weeks and more high 30's for at least the next couple weeks.

I keep planting right through the fall {in NW Florida}. You will get less veg time. This late it will flower as soon as it's sexually mature, 4-6 weeks from sprout. But a couple of ounces would be possible. For real winter/spring grows, an ounce is about the limit.

I took the Ass Cheese Blues to 9 weeks. Could have gone a couple more, but had a few spots of rot, {and it's raining everyday} so I took most of it down. {I also planted 3 more seeds of it. It did great early. Will see what it will do late}

I've been using BT, but still found one of these little guys.

Is the wire to keep animals out? Or some sort of support?

I'll be using this pretty soon.

My thought is if I can keep the moths off the plants, no budworms to worry about. Using some bamboo stakes, I'll make a frame over the plants and drape the netting over it, securing it low to the cages.
