You guys and anyone else can post here it's fine. In fact, I'm going to have a cookie right now. LOL

Taking pics from a different angle this time. They are getting so wide I almost can't walk between!

I also love the Purple Prozac. But it's buds are so tiny compared to some of the others I'm afraid it won't be fast enough to finish before our first frost/freeze.
Oh, and the Afghan Outdoor has very tiny buds too. It will be interesting to see if that will be an issue.
The weather people say we may have a warm Fall. I hope so.

I just came in from outside looking through mine. I went ahead and moved them to the opposite side of my yard cause the sun is not rising over the friggin monster redwood size cedar tree in my neighbors yard anymore so now there near the little greenhouse. Sun hits there from 10am to 5pm. Cpurola i do not envy you at all. This harvest of mine plus my indoor grow will fill my pantry till next summer. I sure hope weather witches are right for you. We usually get a pretty warm fall here but who knows??

Looking good we're coming up on that time of year when I start thinking about upgrading the trimmer

Hmmmm, that's a good idea! I need new hand trimmer. Been using the same ones for years and didn't realize how dull they were.

Thanks for the good weather wishes, same for you. It's gotta be a bit of a struggle getting those pots from there to here and back again. (Mom speak) Don't hurt yourself! (Okay, I'm back. ) Have to do that once in awhile or I have to turn in my MOM card. LOL

More sun is always a good thing. They will really shine for you now.
And mine? If I can get one quarter of all the flowers to be useable I'll be happy.
But what I hate is having to paw through every flower looking for what I DON'T want to find. (botrytis)

[cpurola]

Planned on spraying and tieing branches, but went a different direction today. I'll spray and tie tomorrow. (if I feel like it. LOL)

I soaked some Mosquito Bits in water, then distributed it among 4 of the worst looking plants in the boxes. It kills fungus gnats too.
Grasping at straws here.

It's been 2 weeks since I fed them, so I did it today. Each of the 11 got 2 gallons.
2 gallons well water
1t Megacrop
1t Recharge
1/2t Big Bud

 

[EternalSun]

With all this rain, they’re definitely not very thirsty.

Actually, we've a break from the rain and hot weather for a week.
In the 70s today but it's gradually heading to 90 by Tuesday next week. I'm going to try and get all yard/garden work done before then. The 'skeeters are now out and about.

 

[cpurola]

Sprayed all, 6 gallons total. All the bio-fungicides I have plus BT. Pic is of another leaf destroyer at work.
Have a shipment from Arbico of nematodes to try. Hoping that works.
Was able to get it with our credit card points. Ya!

 

[Organic13]

Not sure if you've thought about this for next year, but I'm definitely going to be looking into adding good bacteria too. Try to counteract the bad. Hopefully eat up some of these bad spores.

Just have a ton of research to do before knowing the kind and ratio I'll need.

Are you added nemos in each box of the 11? Or just your potted ones?

A few years ago I started making my own labs and honestly that was a turning point because omg my plants looked so much better. Now I make it 4gallons at a time with BT in it as well as Keefer grains. Up until I started using this for the life of me I couldn't keep the pm off my zucchini plants.

 

[Organic13]

I struggle with cucurbits, but not so much PM. It is more of the mosaic and wilt. Those stupid different cucumber beetles carry all of the diseases. As they munch, your plants become infected.

This year I did something I've never done before. I trained them aggressively, tying down new growth as it came. I also cut off runners. So, I only had 1 vine per plant. It has helped me see any problems or pest.

A few years back I started trellising all my squash and gourds and that also made a huge difference. If they are on the ground, I can't see all the pest or spray them really well. Trellised it is a breeze.

Yeah, I'm going to be really researching things this fall regarding soil health and what I can do to make improvements on my end. I know there's tons I'm missing.
