Outdoor grow in Southeast Michigan 2024

[cpurola]

Thanks guys. LOL

 

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

So, what do you look for to indicate they're ready?

i dont pay attention as much to trichomes outdoors because the sunlight and extra air flow can make it hard to tell on the surface of flowers.

Outdoors i go by whether or not they look done lmao. I usually wait til most, if not all hairs are orange and calyxes swollen. If i can that is lol. If i check trichomes from outdoor bud i pull a sample flower take it inside, "disassemble" it, then check the interior of the flower.

All of my flowers have lots of milky if only checking the surfaces

As far as septoria goes, its brutal down here too. It's kicking my Biggs pheno's ass. 2/3 of my big OJ x BB phenos too. Leaves hooking and covered in septoria spots. young leaves going yellow, airy weird looking flowers. One of my OJBB had a stem fungus going on down low too, seems to be fighting that one off though. I MIGHT* pull a couple ounces dry from each of those plants and theyre bigger then i am lol.

As bad as the septoria is here, i cant really see doing much about it but just hoping some of your plants are naturally resistant to it. Its been my best growing season to date outdoors weather wise. But i have never seen so much septoria in my life. Its in all the trees, in all the fields, on all the shrubs, the creeper and poison ivy. Everything.

When I look at the flowers and they 'sparkle' in the sunlight, I figure it's because the trics are still clear. Cloudy look matte.

It’s fin insane here too I’ve been trying to prune them once the leaf stem gets soft

You know what they say dazzle them with brilliance or baffle them with BS

I pay no attention to the BS

 

[cpurola]

definitely have to at least be passed the 8 week period if not more than start looking at trichomes and hairs,..

What do the flowers look like when you start counting the weeks?

45 days? When do you start counting?

 

[Oldchucky]

Sounds like you are a bit baffled, Cpurrr! Me too! And remember, last I heard, plants can’t count!

Weather people were wrong! Instead of raining tonight, it's started this afternoon, and I'm in the backyard harvesting/trimming my early flowering Okanagan Grape. Geesh.

@Like2Grow wish I could do that, maybe next year. Unfortunately I'm having to cut and inspect each bud for rot.
I've been cutting them off, trimming, then dunk them into a lemon juice peroxide water solution before rinsing and drying on a mesh tray.
Lots more time consuming but I have alot more confidence that I found all the mold.

Got 1 plant almost done, then the black cloud came overhead, so I cut the other one whole plant and have it hanging in the garage.
Gotta go work on it before it wilts. (hate working on them when they're wilted.)
Toodles

Nothing worse than trimming wilted plants. I feel your pain. If it's a whole plant chop it should hold some water in the petioles for a day or so. Hope it's not to bad. I'm rooting for you!!

look up your time zone for daylight hours and use that as your gauge,.

So, the Peanut Butter Herijuana is toast. Looks like Fusarium the way the leaves wilted all of a sudden.
Looks alot like what happened to @shaganja. I need to chop it today and figure what to do with the plot.

 

[Oldchucky]

I think you’re right! Bummer!

 

[tall boys]

I'd say they got flooded looks like Bud rot

That really sucks all that hard work curse you Michigan
