Let's see your 2023 outdoor grow!

Even though I'm over here in Massachusetts, we had a lot of stink bugs last year and this year we hardly seen any. This year. The two main pests are of course mosquitoes which have been super bad this year and Japanese beetles. Them damn Beatles have reached havoc on everything. Not just my plants but everything. I've noticed an increase of the assassin bugs which I know they're beneficial. So I would like to think that the assassin bugs are doing their job.

I bought a product from GardensAlive: beetleJUS!® Beetle Control for Ornamentals and Vegetables, but have yet to use it. I haven't had a ton of the beetles and prefer to hand pick off my basil and zinnias. I've also picked them off my weed plants but they don't seem to have a taste for them YET.

Challange accepted haha if I could roll a blunt when I was 17 years old with 3k watts RMS ripping through my subs while driving 70mph down a wooded trail at 3am with my knee steering and a full SUV of people …. I’ll give it a go

Plus who wouldn’t at least wanna try

Looking back… guess I’m lucky to still be alive nowadays

Hell yeah! We used to have I-95 joints (before they fixed it) you could always tell when a joint was rolled in transit on that road, it was tough, but it got done hahaha, you know I forget sometimes that folks roll with ungodly amount of bass, keeping a paper in your hand would be nearly impossible hahaha. That’s funny. And yes, I’m glad you made it buddy! Challenge is still on the table

I'm in Michigan and we've already had a few nights in the high 40s and NO the bugs are still in full force. Especially the mosquitoes!
Glad I'm retired and can go out and tend to the garden during the day.
What I haven't seen alot of this year is Stink Bugs. I'd like to think the predatory bugs are doing the job, but I just don't know.

That’s cuz you sent them my way lol I have lots here in Ontario thankful they are easy to catch by hand.

Thunder storm rolled through last night,
Luckily no hail, broke some lower branches,
Luckily there all able to stand back up with the help of 6 foot bamboo stakes

How do you know when the hemp is ready to harvest? Does it have the same flowering times as regular pot does?

yes, same flowering as pot,
Hemp is pot, the only difference is government regulations.

all right! A Wisconsin outdoor grower! I have always said it was impossible to finish a plant in Wisconsin! I hope you make me eat those words! Nothing would make me happier than to chow down on them! Knock it out of the park, AC420! You might be the first one I’ve seen!

 

[Oldchucky]

Oh no, you don’t! That’s indoors! I talk shit about outdoors! whatever you get accomplished back there, more power to you! Take it easy!

Frustration is inevitable farming pot outdoors
@Oldchucky , mother natures a fucking bitch when she wants to be!!
I’ll see this through to the end successfully or otherwise.
I took pre samples in for thc testing,
If they comeback anywhere near .3% thc at this point we’re fucked!
We will be required to destroy all our hard effort and work!
But we’re staying positive and investing no more money in this venture until we get the results.
