    2020 MASSACHUSETTS outdoor grow Thread!

    Just set up up trellis on 2 of the real big ones the other day (pic 3). Bamboo stakes and hortinova trellis off amazon. Honestly the structure is pretty flimsy and it was probably bad timing with the storm coming this week. With 35-50 mph winds I should probably expect it to collapse. As my...

    Strawberry Eclair - Not the biggest plant but damn does she make up for it everywhere else. Sour Diesel - Decided since its so close to transition that I wont be mainlining her. I think I will get more out of it if I leave her to grow terminal. Random Clone - I put 2 cuttings from a...

    2020 New England Outdoor Organic Grow

    7/29 Update Since last week, top dressed malted barley powder and worm castings right before some heavy rains. 2 days ago fed corn SST. Been foliar spraying BT every 3 days, applied diatomaceous earth to the base of the stalks and increased my arsenal of flying insect management weapons. Other...

    Possibly looks like some sort of very young stink bugs. Had some of these guys hatch on my White Widow, only a few survived so I didnt notice really any damage to the plant. Been seeing a shit ton of adults which are probably mating around now (I observed two very close to eachother on one of...

    Stem Borers/Cats - Total War

    Hard to say man, especially if holes arent present. Those canker looking areas do look very similar to what im seeing, but theres a wide range of blemishes that can appear on cannabis or any plant for that matter, with a wider range of reasons why they show up. Keep an eye out for holes, black...

    Stem Borers/Cats - Total War

    In my case, I think they started at the base and went up up up. I would totally pull a branch if it was isolated. Ill keep my eye out for isolated attacks on the other plants. I always like to factor in losses based off of past seasons, pretty much all of it comes from some sort of caterpillar...

    Stem Borers/Cats - Total War

    Just went and cut in two spots on one of the branches. I fed the fishing line up and down the hole to see how far it went so I knew where to cut. I made a two inch incision about 5-6 inches above and below the hole. No worm, and it really didnt look like much in terms of damage on the inside...

    Stem Borers/Cats - Total War

    I was definitely considering filling a dropper with BT, inserting and injecting directly into the holes. Since they already made their way all the way up and down I figure it might be tricky to get it to be as effective as if I did it when they first got in. Missed that window :wall:. It seems...

    Stem Borers/Cats - Total War

    Eastern MA backyard grower. Recently during a tie down session on my OG#18, I noticed one of the branches was pretty soft at one spot. Took a closer look and noticed a tiny hole 3/4 of the way up on one of the main branches. Fuck. Immediately I slit an inch in each direction from the hole...

    Powdery mildew Q

    Well kinda not really, I had PM issues starting on a few leaves 3rd week of August 2019 (outdoors) and was able to hold it back from getting bad enough to spread to the buds. Selective defoliation and greencure foliar sprays helped for me. I also gave the most affected plants h202 wash which...

    Haha been waiting to see an update of your plants. Love it dude. You are going to have some amazing stuff come Croptober, cant wait to see it. Thanks man. From what ive seen from others, borers arent much of a common problem. IMO they are one of the worst pests, maybe even worse than the...

    White Widow - Tall and lanky girl, cant wait to see what she can do in flower. Very low maintenance. 24k Gold - I didnt expect too much from her. But she's definitely showing that she can compete with the ones in the 30gal pots. Cali Orange - Small, lanky, doesn't really smell or look like...

    7/22 Update Bad News - Yesterday when doing tie downs on the OG#18 I noticed one of the two original tops had a weak spot when bending it down, looked closer and found a borer hole. Looked through the stalk and stems and found maybe 3-5 more entry holes (identified by frass on the stalk). This...

    Strawberry Eclair - On G13s site, one of the phenos they mention is a short plant that smells like strawberry/cookies and I think thats exactly what I've got going on here. Wont be a huge yielder but will definitely be some quality smoke Top dressing NSM+kelp meal and a mix of compost/worm...

    7/14 Update Plants are really starting to shape up and im getting excited for transition. A lot of great growth this past week. Since last update, top dressed everything with 1/2 cup of kelp meal, neem seed meal, and a few handfuls of malted barley powder. Also threw in a handful of "leftovers"...

    Any advice will help

    Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) also has chloramine neutralizing properties. I use it in tablet form and crush it up with my fingers before I add it in (1000mg/30-40gal water), but powder would be even easier. From what I understand its a very quick process in terms of how it neutralizes the...

    Was having a similar issue on one of my plants, the very top growth and stem were perfectly fine but 2-3 lower nodes on the same branch were wilting like that but the issue seemed to have worked itself out for me. Was watching a canadian grower on youtube and he was experiencing a similar thing...

    Never used DE, but I know its a great product. I dont really have any issues with soil pests but if I did I would certainly get my hands on some DE. Leaf hoppers are going crazy and im finding caterpillars webbing themselves between the leaves of new tops, so time to make some additions to the...
