    Smach's 2022 Virginia outdoor grow

    After lopping off the bigger terminal colas yesterday, here's what's left. Lots of lower branches, sort of foxtailey. I don't really mind that, but trimming gets tiresome. Tons of larfy popcorn. I'd say I lost maybe 15% to bud rot. And of course the next 10 days are beautiful growing days. No...

    Probably not essential, but I do it to 1) check humidity in the bag and 2) to check for off smells. Once in Grove bags no need to open (there's a clear window so I can see the hygrometer without opening the bags).

    Three times this season I've spotted a leaf or two with PM. Sprayed with Agrowlyte and not a trace of PM subsequently.

    The colas are pretty dense, which I imagine is a major contributor to humidity-related problems. Hard for them to dry out once they get rained on or even just with the dew from overnight. They're pretty to look at but maybe impractical in this environment. The dominant smell at this point I...

    OK - here goes. Going harvest and trim this week, Maybe hold out one more week if I don't see any more rot. Weather forecast is drier for the next 7 days. I'm probably early, I know I'm early. Big "two more weeks" Sur, I swore I wouldn't push it...but...folks around here are throwing whole...

    septoria / Defguard / bigsur51?

    Thanks for the advice. Interesting that it can be a soil treatment / drench.

    septoria / Defguard / bigsur51?

    Big- A buddy of mine has been hit hard with septoria. I saw a thread where you recommended Defguard. Do you know if that product can be used in flower? Thanks- Smach

    GSC's still looking pretty good overall, but with that apparent heat stress. Good sized plant with good sized colas forming. I think it's further along than last year's grow was at this point. Minimal pests, no white powdery mildew at all. I'm spraying bT and pyganic weekly just because. It's an...

    Call 911. Looks like a little bit of everything going on here. I think the nitrogen (and copper, I think) deficits are under control, or at least not getting worse (fewer lower leaves turning yellow). Little bit of insect damage, but brown and curly leaves...hoping it's just heat stress. We had...

    Smach's 2022 Virginia outdoor grow

    Yes...I would say these haven't dried down much since they've been in the bags...maybe a couple of points. I have them in the house now which is low enough humidity - like mid 50s - that the buds ought to dry down further, which they aren't really doing. More holding steady in the mid 60s. Maybe...

    I don't know if it's luck or randomness, but right now the humidity in the jars and the bags runs 64-66%. I burp the jars, and for while I made sure to open the bags daily and sniff for trouble, but I just leave them now. It seems pretty close to automatic. My routine is pretty close to yours...

    Two White Widows all done and have been in Grove bags now for a couple of weeks. Humidity in the bags is in the mid-60%. Yield on the two plants was only 128 grams. Not much, but then they weren't much effort to grow either. Pretty much effortless. Sent samples to the lab and waiting on results...

    Curing

    I'm using Grove bags on two autos I just harvested and they have been really easy. Hang for a week (dark shed, 60% humidity, 60-65 degrees, circulating air), cut the buds off the stems and put 'em in grocery bags with the little hygrometer. When the humidity is in the mid-60s (after a day or...

    Big - I've been meaning to ask you, and you might have said something earlier...I assume you start with feminized seeds?

    Plant #1 hung for almost a week, into grocery bags for a day or two, and now into Grove bags. Figured I'd test them on this plant. No jars, just hang > paper bag > Grove bags. Looks like the humidity in the bags is holding at 60%.

    Day 101 Autoflower #2 is cut and in the shed. I'd say 20-ish% of trichomes showed some amber. The colas are plump and some even hefty. I doubt it'll be more than a couple of ounces, though. Maybe 3. I don't have time to trim it before work, so I'll deal with that this afternoon. The shed has...
