been rain for 4 straight days Hippy. has been alot cooler than normal summer. most of summer , has been like cool overcast fall days. not much in the way of sunshine.
this summer i can count on one hand our 90 degree plus days. normally by now, we've had at least 40 over 90 days. and usually its in the 80's from late may thru september.
nothing close to these numbers this year.
i still have outdoor plants that have not showed sex at the home plot.
. they will never amount to anything before the snow arrives, that is, if i don't bring them in. all our gorilla grow is budding fems. culled all males. they need sunshine in a bad way.
i've seen folks outdoor grows on site, that are 2 hours south of me budding like crazy. some look to be at 5 weeks flower, but are really only 2.5-3 weeks.
.
all this plus a few wicked storms that produced tornadoes. rare here.
i've always had this idea that some huge weather change was going to happen here. don't know if i could even put it to words. my thought was that our northern , and southern boundaries would do a flip flop. snow in texas in oct-april. warm in michigan, chi town, wisconsin, minnesota in oct-april. that sounds crazy , eh?
if this summer is the mirror of what can be expected this winter, i'd better go chop more wood. that would be the norm, but i don't believe it this winter. my prediction is warm, very wet winter...besides, we got a pretty bad one , even for these parts, last year. i feel a warming trend in this cold , iced over , land...
but, you can never tell living on lake Michigan.
. i get the worst snow storms my state has to offer. lake effect snow!!! we get dumped on normally... we'll see. please send sunshine. sos...
