Thinking the banjo haymeadow gonna do ya real nice up there.

My first keeper from those is pretty much straight Kush look and smell. Stacking colas up like something oldschool too 😍💚🤙 doesn't look like a very demanding trim job either for being a stocky, resin-bleeding indica. Extra bonus.

Have to go out of town for a few days. And wouldn't you know it, there's thunderstorms predicted! Ahhhh
Greenhouse is out, gets too hot in there, so I moved the autos up by the house and told hubby, 'if it gets windy and the plants fall over just pick them up and I'll deal with it later. He said 👍
Oh, those are geraniums in the terracotta pots. Also rosemary and basil.

Frostberry has an interesting color pattern.
Don't know if it will continue or it was some type of deficiency.
The other ones did not look like this.

most prolly just a weirdo pheno regarding nutrients uptake far on the sides of the normal gauss law applied to population distribution.

I’d say we probably got close to an inch of rain last night. All my collection buckets are full of rainwater and for those of us that didn’t cover our plants I can speak for myself that my plants look pretty good afterwords. Don’t worry Cpurola, they will be fine upon your return

Okay let's get a breakdown a little over a inch of rain last night and the rain temperature last night was 60°

Too cold for me that water is to cold for your plants

When theyre little, (not total seedlings, just young vegging plants)I let em get all the rain and cold nights, i go out of my way to make sure they get total exposure during them. Mine this year have already seen rainy nights in the 40s just to see near 100 less than a week later. Everything they make it through like that when little just, helps you not have to work so damn hard later on.

By the time october came around last season, my plants took 7 days of straight rain, and temps at night in the 40s, over 14" of rainfall during that stretch total from Hurricane Helene making it so far inland. I lost like a qtr-o maybe a half ounce from several pounds, total. Genetics plays a big role in that, but so does the proper hardening off of your plants. Imho it plays as big a role as genetics for this.

Now im not saying you shouldn't have covered them, if it wasnt gonna get much above 60 even during the day, i would too. But only after an initial exposure period to it most likely. Seriously. Even if they looked like hell the next morning i let em have it lmao.

Ive let mine take total exposure this week, from 42f rainy nights, to 93f afternoons. That end of may/early june chaos stretch... i always let em have it. I even let em take the hailstorms face first. If theyre still in containers, i put em out in the storms and cold nights to follow on purpose. I just make sure they get acces to some dryness or warmth within the next day or two to follow. I personally dont worry at all about chilly nights and wet plants until flower.

i get to be a lot lazier come flower for letting my gals harden off to exposure. Many including myself will also calim this comes with pretty significant resin content bumps too. Hardened off plants also explode more significantly when conditions line up to ideal, and poor conditions bother them a lot less because they know its coming and have already dealt with it before. Thats a very real thing with plants just like other organisms.

Hardened off clones will usually finish the season larger, yieldier, and more potent then their hand-held, otherwise identical counterparts too Fwiw. Diseases doesnt hit them as hard, neither does fungal infection. Days that get over 86 wont slow them down nearly as much, wind will be less likely to break them, rain wont bother the flowers anywhere near as much, you will probably yield more, anmd* it will probably be danker fwiw

Water at 60f is100% fine for in ground plants. The ground stays 58-63F more then a couple inches deep pretty much 24/7-365. Even in mid summer, when a cold front storm comes through, those raindrops are hitting the ground at about 55-60F too. Sometimes even colder. Sometimes its cold enough up there in the updraft to freeze the rain, in which case you get Hail.

I even harden off my indoor gals. And a few years ago i stopped monitoringh temp and RH in my tnts unless i notice a directly related issue arise. My yields went down slightly, but a negligible amount, but my quality is consistently higher than when i hand hold everything like its precious to me lol (they are, but it took a long time to get confident with this so it may not seem like it to someone else lol)

Back home and everyone looks like they survived the thunderstorms.
NOW I have to kill the critter, (I suspect a squirrel) who's digging in my flower garden. 🤬
The dig marks are not deep. Maybe not a squirrel. 🤔

Our squirrels only dig about a little smaller than a golf ball size hole.

That looks like it might be something a little bigger, like it’s burrowing? Voles?

Or a raccoon, if you set a shallow bowl of water out there tonight and find it dirty the next morning it's a raccoon washing it's goodies off. I'd have that in my pets water bowl always dirty even though i'd fill it with fresh water LOL
 
#276
I DID! LOL
I've been watching the squirrels and they are pretty good about putting everything back after they dig.
This may be happening at night.
Crap, I just remembered, I gave my flower beds a treat of Alaska Fish Fertilizer. Could that be it?

Okay, I had a first this morning.
Got up at 6am as usual, opened the blinds and a deer was in the front yard. He started moving toward the house and I was concerned for my flowers and went outside. (yes, in my nighty. LOL)
I ran toward him clapping and yelling and he stood his ground facing me. I got about 30 feet away and stopped.
He was lifting his front hoof and placing it back down while starring at me and I figured I outta extricate myself.
I backed away for about 20 feet then turned around towards the house.
Glanced over my should and saw him trotting towards me! Scared the shit outta me and I ran the rest of the way.
Guess I gotta take stronger measures. Geesch!

BTW, it was not a doe, it had antlers
