Not predicted to be quite so nasty up here in my neck of the woods (Maine) Capture.PNG for the next week. Still could do without the 70 degree dew points. Praying we don't get this in Sept/Oct.

I’m interested in GreenCure, or something that could help. I throw a few plants in the veggie garden and always get bud rot, ugly worms, etc. Last year sucked. Not a huge deal, since my main shit is indoors, but it’s fun to see your indoor plants perform outside.
Damn it’s humid!

Hey folks quick question! I have 2 flowering plants indoors roughly 2 weeks from harvest
I am having new windows installed in my apartment and was going with its best to ask forgiveness than permission... well now they want to install windows next week.... can I put them outdoors and be okay ?
Also the 600 watt hps comes on at 9pm off at 9am... do opposite of the light schedule... can I leave flowering plant in 24 hours of darkness so I’m able to match the outdoor sunrise sunset ?

Yes.
You are inviting trouble but it could work.
Mine get sunburned when I first put mine out in June.
Let us know how it goes!
I can keep them out of the pm sun but the am sun will be full force the would stop getting sun at 2-3

SO I am thinking of bringing in a couple plants and start flowering them inside with a 600W hps two weeks before the natural flower date.
Then taking them back out to finish.
Anyone ever try this?
Pests could definitely be an issue. But if you have no other plants indoors I can’t see what the issue would be. Spray with neem before and after.

How do us "outdoor folk" usually feel about removing mid stem/deep inside popcorn sites?

I've heard the whole "let the plant focus on the main colas by removing sites and leaves inside the canopy that don't get full light"...and I've heard the "outdoors you should leave everything because the light penetration is so much more"

Has anyone done both before and seen the results? I've already topped and cleaned out most of the low down stuff, but the popcorn bud sites are still a question for me.

Should they stay or should the go? Is it Sativa/indica dependant? (Leave them for sativa?)

Follow up question...anyone ever seen this? 20180724_193645.jpgThe tips of the leaves are twisting! It's only on a few plants and only on newer growth. Been this way for a week or more. It never gets worse or spreads or hurts the leaf. It's always "just the tip".

At first I thought they were burnt, then I looked closer and they look completely healthy (I think...) but the very tips are just slightly twisted.

Dude at the grow shop said that it's a good thing. Something about the rate they are growing or a growth spurt or something. That sounded a little too "woo woo chi magic" for me so figured I'd ask the pros.

Find the as much shade as possible. If it's breezy even better!

Good question. This i would say is a strain/personal preference. If getting enough sun any plant will respond to a careful pruning. Leaves are the engine of growth. A new leaf in the sun beats a huge leaf in the shade. I lolli and streamline all my plants for efficiency. That's my goal tho. Natural grow is amazing in it's own right and safer from sickness.

I used this biz last year. Got it at lowes. It had great reviews so I tried it out. Worked like a charm getting rid of those little fuckers. This was on 2 outdoor White Widows in soil. Screenshot_20180724-214913_Google.jpg
Neem works for me for general use, and I spray it on everything once a week, but those 'pillars are brutal. They didnt give a shit about neem. I had the little green ones that attach themselves to the underside of the stem at the base of a cola. Almost impossible to see. I hate them.
