Let's see your 2024 outdoor grow!!

[Rooke]

look into citric acid solutions.

The facility i used to work at in KC kept giant rain storage sized containers of this stuff around for the greenhouses. They'd even let us take bottles of it home to our own grows. Its wonderful outdoors and in greenhouses. Works as well as micronized sulfur ime, but doesn't damage burn or extract quality at all done right.

8 oz. Fungicide Concentrate: Natural Protection for Plants

Combat powdery mildew and other pathogens with this 8 oz. fungicide concentrate. For all growth stages, it uses food-grade citric acid to protect plants.

growersally.com

It totally prevents PM all together, and it wont 100% prevent Bud rot, especially on super dense indica flowers, but it will *hugely* reduce it for you.

So long as the soil isnt parched, you can spry it on flowers after a rain without worry. You can even make your own very cheaply with distilled water, purified citric acid and a little bit of plant safe surfactant to spread it evenly.


When you harvest, swoosh the branches real good in some plain distilled water PH'd to 8, then shake off and hang to dry. Itll zap all of the citric acid into the water in a few swooshes just as well as salt drawing water in. Smell, taste, flavor, and concentrates were never adversely affected ime. Just keep an eye on the wash water PH, gets too close to neutral it wont zap the citric acid as well. (its basically a very simple and benign base/acid wash chemically, itll only take a branch or two to neutralize the PH of the wash water)

The biggest risk with citric acid solutions is phytotoxicity in times of drought and parched soil. But in that context, why are you even worried about bud rot ya know?

The first two that I had in pots outside one had a small sugar leaf turn brown on the main cola and it was too late it was rotting inside crappy deal below it was salvageable but it wasn’t ready no flush didn’t burn well and taste was shit it was garbage. So I took the other one inside under the t8’s and I brought bugs into my room and I garbaged it too. It was full of yellow/ green eggs under the fans and had these creamy coloured hoop worms with brown stripes not sure what the were but lesson learned

And you were worried about yield a month ago

still kinda worried

 

[Oldchucky]

Relax! They look good! Be thankful you’re in Cali!

 

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

still kinda worried

What Oldchucky said.


Smooth sailing down the home stretch is fairly common in central and NorCal lol.

Here in Tennessee I'm just glad my big plants are land race sativa genetics. I'm prob gonna lose half my Biggs flowers regardless what I do that was almost expected back in KC. Your outdoor plants in KC *will* have rot, aphid damage, and hemp seeds in them back there. Period lol.

And it likes to thunderstorm every other evening in August and September here lol. You got ways to get em out of weather too right? You're pretty golden

I mean I knew it was a good area for it, lots of ag, I’m an hour inland from santa cruz which is like weed mecca lmao but I will probably be worried until it’s all said and done, I’m an anxious mess like that lmao

Kinda? Rain is a joke in these parts. Usually don’t see it until after november. My birthday is in october and it was like 90 last year! Worst comes to worst they are close to my green house/garage. But they’re heavy.

 

[Oldchucky]

Quit bitching! Perfect conditions!

 

[cbrians]

Related. See all those zeros?

 

[cbrians]

Quit bitching! Perfect conditions!

Don’t be jealous! Just wait until I’m retired like you guys, you’ll be able to see my plants from your house chucky

 

[Oldchucky]

Perfect! Any relative humidity is too much in my book! You can take care of the humidity with your watering! Temperature ain’t shit!

 

[Oldchucky]

Right on brother! If I’m still alive! L O L! Don’t get All caught up in this 12 foot plant bullshit! You’re not dousing your stuff in fungicide and pesticide just to get it through till September. You’re going to come out with some quality shit!

At this rate I won’t be able to retire until I die, I’ll bring a pound into the after life with me!

I am a little envious, but any decent weed this round is a big ass win for me. I’m glad I’ve managed to stay away from chemically shit. My grandma helped start the CCOF, it’s in my genes lol

My first year kind of week! Second year was a total disaster! Third and fourth years killer! Not big yield, but big quality! 5 pounds a year should get you through! I’ve never asked a question about growing on this site! Asked a lot about making hash! L O L! It ain’t rocket science! Do your due diligence, and have some faith in yourself! You’re doing all right! You can figure it out! It’s mostly horse sense! PS! You’ll have to talk to Elon about retiring! L O L! Come December, your buddies are going to be walking away from your house going, holy fuck! I’m too loaded to drive!

Never asked a question! I feel like you’re judging me! Gonna cry myself to sleep over that one

I’m finding the faith! Thanks to you all talking me off the ledge so many times After that last boy I found I fell a little out of love with the plants, and I think it’s helping them and I both. Was getting a bit obsessive

I don’t know what I would do with five pounds of weed. Throw it at strangers? Use it to top salads? Jar it and hide it from myself? Possibilities are endless.

 

[Oldchucky]

Stay away from,GNick55! A terrible influence! L O L!

Larry bubba gelly auto. My best outdoor run yet. I’m chopping it tomorrow morning. Full size lighter

blueberry cheese still needs a cpl weeks

lpc On the left that’s looking a little yellow up top. And a wedding cake auto that needs another week or two on the right. Bottom right is the Larry bubba

About a month later from this pic

The one closest for some reason just does not want to grow any taller, it's real bushy, but does not seem to actually be growing much. The 2nd one in is solidly in the flowering stage (I should have grabbed a close up pic, not sure how far along it is, but I think it's a good way along) and the others are still growing in height but I believe now beginning to flower.

Those worms are my only insect issue here I use Japanese knotweed extract, I copied from a product called arbor bio protectant

I vote for Bonfire !!! Wait a minute. Bonfire's are illegal . (Bonfire means "good fire" in French)

The neighb would never be the same. All those oldies travelling left and right. Then falling down... How cruel ! The Horror !!!!

My plants so far. A little Mimosa Evo clone. My Mimosa Evo plant, Ayahuasca Purple, Tropicana Banana, Peyote Critical, and the last 2 are a Biscotti Cream F1 from a friend. They were in ground but my dog dug them up.

OG started flowering,earliest I’ve ever seen. Every thing is bombing. Only seen one hummingbird on my Cannas . Full speed ahead. Best quote I’ve ever heard on tv show, Deadliest Catch, old fart talking about the weather,” it’s winter, you get winter time weather”. Same holds true for outdoor grows, it’s outdoors, you get everything that goes with it, wind, rain, bugs , diseases and giant plants. Gimme that great outdoors! Meant no offense to old farts, I’m one.
