I can’t recall last time I was in sweatshirt in August. Brrrr. My thermometer said 41 for the low last night.

 

[Greenadian]

Thats some weird temperatures for sure!! Usually decently warm until October. I mean ot was instantly hot 1st week of May this year

 

[cpurola]

I laugh when they talk about average temps. in Michigan. Don't think it EVER hits average temps. when they predict it. Always above or below.
Going out to spray today. No rain 'predicted' (g) 'till next Thursday. (we'll see)
Keeping up the fight until alls lost.

 

[PlumberSoCal2]

We actually had a little rain here in sunny so cal where it never rains according to a popular song
A little tropical moisture. And when I say "rain" here I mean it sprinkled
We're expecting low 90's again today which means my greenhouse will be running 100F and I won't be camping out with the plants

Hi Bear! Ann Arbor is a college town and we're about an hour's drive north east of them. Near Milford.
All I gotta say is if you like changable weather you'll love it. Cold fronts from Canada and warm fronts from the Gulf.
Never a dull moment. Our weather forcasters have to work especially hard to get it half right. LOL

I’m not a fan of crowds. Ann Arbor (“A squared” to the hip). Too crowded, too young, and way too expensive. Better buying power further north you go.

I'm with ya. We bought acreage and built instead of buying a subdivision house 40 years ago so we could do what we wanted with our land. No home owners association for us.

Now, every scrap of vacant land around us is being built up with cul-de-sacs and half a million dollar homes. Have to wait for traffic to clear to get out of our damn driveway for cripes sake.

And next year the road commission is putting in a round-a-bout, 2 driveways south of us or about 800 feet from ours.

Hubby and I really should look for another place, smaller, less grass to cut, but.... we like it here. Oh, and it's paid for. LOL

 

[cpurola]

Went out today and took down, not in a good way, the Lebanese in the 12 and dirt.
I still have one Ultra extra next to the garage. The trics are cloudy but I'm not seeing any amber and I'm waiting to see if the pistils ever turn brown.
And in that first pic, you can see our transformer covered in vines. LOL

Heya C just wondering if these have blight or something else like septoria? Something I noticed on my autos was if I was able to keep a close eye on the sugar leaves and harvest before it got to them I didn’t have much rot at all all. The trichombs had mostly cloudy and still a bit of clear and a bit of amber I haven’t smoked much as they are still a bit moist I’ll give some of them a try today and tomorrow for my first joint of the day. I’ve noticed that I haven’t been smoking much lately Dunno why guess it is what it is lol

You’re not smoking as much right now because you’re waiting in anticipation for the upcoming harvest!

One thing i myself would truly be looking forward to is the winters! Yep “real winters” our cali winters are pretty good and all but i know what you guys get back there! : ) was chatting with the wife about how our snow gear probably wouldn’t be good enough for back in that area.

We’re in a similar sounding area! Half hour or so from the university and bigger town. Don’t mind that so much as i grew up around here and the crowds and students just ebbed and flowed, loved summer for the sheer fact the students left for a few months! Hahaha! But im not a city person by any means so the outskirts/ rural is absolutely what we’d be looking for.

Yeah I ain’t buyin no million dollar nothin wouldn’t even know what to do with it if i could! LOL i just need a place that fits the clan and that would be “within safe travel distance” to employment. which i understand can be very specific. (“fit” means in my book a little land, nothing crazy). when things get more serious, there are a few homies here yourself included i was planning on reaching out to about finding a good realtor and asking those funny questions that can only be answered by someone who lives in the area/ state. few years out yet, but still going to try and make it happen at some point!

thank you for the insight!

The Jade nectar guy says on land races. Pistols are not all that important! Said to go by the tri combs! Said their desire to reproduce is so strong that they will keep pumping out new pistols long after the plant is ready to chop! Boy that looks rough!
