Hey Kimp, welcome to mp. I'm from Michigan so no idea what to tell you about your current grow/harvest needs. You can start a thread and peeps that are familiar with the problems common to your area could chime in and steer you in the right direction:D 2b2s

Hey big, I would be less worried about snow than frost. Both are possible here in the next few weeks, but the weather talking head says we are in for slightly above average temps for next couple weeks:D 2b2s

Just some quick pix to update this thread. There is a chance of frost tonight so I will be covering these girls until the frost warning is over:D 2b2s

Just to reiterate, I don't have pm:D 2b2s

specgradeled. Alabaster put me up on these. Not only do they rock the spectrum, but they have the best warranty in the industry. 10 years on the led's and 7 years on the drivers! I personally would need multiple verta 8's, but many here could easily run the verta 4's:D 2b2s

Here is the skinny on slaked lime: Calcium hydroxide Calcium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca₂. It is a colorless crystal or white powder and is produced when quicklime is mixed, or slaked with water. It has many names including hydrated lime, caustic lime...

Hey alabaster, Bordeaux mixture (also called Bordo Mix) is a mixture of copper(II) sulphate (CuSO 4) and slaked lime (Ca() 2) used as a fungicide.It is used in vineyards, fruit-farms and gardens to prevent infestations of downy mildew, powdery mildew and other fungi. Given the above...

Hey josey, so far pm has not reared its ugly head. With all the wet weather I find myself shaking the plants in the morning and then subjecting them to my leaf blower to prevent bud rot from getting my girls. If I do get pm I'll probably just treat with copper sulfate. Keeping fingers...

Now the weather is starting to be an issue. Colder and wetter conditions are ideal for bud rot. All the stuff that you never worry about in an indoor garden:D 2b2s

Idk about feminized seeds, I'm old school. This BB I'm running was from a clone out of CO. :D 2b2s

Weedhopper, burnie, and giggy, Thanks for stopping in and looking at my girls. I spend a couple hours a day with them. I do a lot of pruning on stuff that will never amount to anything with the intended outcome of bigger main colas. I will update in a week or so:D 2b2s

Been having an adjustment from nutrient needs of indoor plants vs outdoor plants. These girls are eating heavier than anything I have ever done. Im feeding right at 2 EC and to be honest I think I may have to go as high as 2.5 EC! Never saw plants eat like this:D 2b2s

Specgradeled verta's: 10 year warranty on led's 7 year warranty on drivers:D 2b2s

I add dolomite lime to my garden. Dolomite lime has a netural ph or ph 7. Dolomite lime is a mineral from the earth which contains a natural form of calcium easily available to plants. The limestone it comes from occurs due to the accumulation of water borne minerals over eons of time. As a...

As I have recently begun a small outdoor grow I have been posting on other peeps soil grows. Recently I said that with dolimite lime in your soil there is no need to have a digital ph meter. As I expected I received feedback stating otherwise. Since it was not my thread I did not elaborate on...

I grew up on a small 20 acre farm. I treat my outdoor mj grow like I would treat any other field crop, with the exception of knifing in my nitrogen. My indoor I treat like a commercial greenhouse. The ammonia is an old tried and true greenhouse method I learned from an ex girlfriend that...

Hey boo, mine is prolly so pricey because it does EC, PPM, & PH:D 2b2s

I use janitorial grade ammonia purchased at local hardware store. 1 tsp liquid non anti bacterial dish soap, 3 tsp ammonia and 1 gallon water every 3 days for 2 weeks to be sure you broke the lifecycle:D 2b2s

water, ammonia, and dish soap, safe till harvest. kills on contact and is not only safe with no residuals, but also gives a slight nitrogen boost. This method is not only safe it is cheap too. It will not harm trichomes either:D 2b2s

here is a little info on dolomite lime: Variously called dolomitic limestone or just dolomite, garden-grade calcium magnesium carbonate raises the pH level of acidic soils. When pH levels are too low, the basic nutrients most plants need remains locked up in the soil, unavailable to the plants...
