Outdoor grow in Southeast Michigan 2024

[GNick55]

Thanks.

Yes, I water my plants. I only water my plants when they need it, have had plenty of dry back pots are light. I have it documented. Thought you knew. Only thing I do have dialed in.

oh whoops that was for @cpurola about the watering

So, you will water it even if it isn't dropping? Should I not be waiting for the leaves to droop before watering. I don't want to be underwatering? I don't water my plants unless they droop.

Might try that strain next year. Is the Canadian flag mandatory for a good harvest?

I already started treating the plots with all the bio-fungicides I have, and will continue every week until frost. I'm also spraying the flowers with Grower's Ally Fungicide, (citric base) until harvest or scrap.

The wilt came with the new soil, (pretty sure) but our wet weather this Spring and early Summer contributed to the build up of fungus spores in the soil.
The plants were resistant during veg. but as soon as they started flowering their defenses came down and boom!

I've been out every other morning before the sun gets here, spraying all the plants. However, it's a band-aid, and I'm not sure it's even helping.

I really feel for you and your husband cpur. To put all the work you've put into this (and hubbies work too) and get the crap you are getting would make me not happy. It sounds like it was supposed to be an especially good year you planned too.

No, but you have to sing oh, Canada to it every morning! Without fail!

Yeah, my plants probably would've been toast a long time ago had we received the rain fall we normally do. Even our humidity hasn't been super high lately. I haven't had much dew on my plants in the mornings.

I assumed it was because we are just south. People in KY & TN probably have at least a couple weeks on us. Maybe a month on MI. Not sure though. I do have a feeling fall will be coming fast and hard. I don't think our fall will be mild. Have the same feeling about our winter.

I am in agreement. I believe the cold is coming. Old man winter owes us one. We have had mild winters for a long time. But for now we have 10 more days in the upper 80s with no rain in the forecast

 

[RealFarmer]

Hopefully October will be dry…rarely is though

Lets hope. I just need it to not start pouring until the 10th. I'm crossing fingers and toes

I grow in ground so I water about every 3 days, but I also watch the leaves. When they stop praying I water the next day. I don't wait until they droop all the way

 

[Galgrows]

Thanks Galgrows, it's my own damn fault tho' thinkin I could manage all those plants.
And actually I'd trade your caterpillars for the Septoria in an instant. I've never seen it this bad. (Hubby says, maybe it's that wildfire smoke bringing it here.)

He may be on to something there.

@RealFarmer

Yeah, I may not have my watering dialed in as much as I thought. I've only seen my plants "praying" a couple times. Thanks for the info.

Gave mine a good shakin this morning n they had lots of dew on them.

I bought a cheap leaf blower the kind that doesn’t blow 200 miles a hour just a cheap 30$ battery pack included does the job well

 

[cpurola]

yes it was in the same spot that kumaoni was,. i’ve also had 7-8 friends grow it half of which didn’t have a clue about growing and it preformed in all growing conditions from little sun to all day sun etc,..
do you water yours and do you know if they needed watering when you did?

I have not had to water mine much this summer. This last month has been very dry so I did water a couple of times. I usually take a cue from my tomatoe and flowers. If they look thirsty I figure the weed is too. I never wait until leaf wilt like the indoor growers do.

BTW, I went to chop the Peanut Butter Herijuana and it almost fell over when I gave it a push. Roots were rotted.
Probably Fusarium.

The Purple Prozac was a skeleton so she went too.
But the stalk was solid, no hollow core.

Nature has been hard on you.
Or she taught you many lessons.
