Just a wonderful grow journal. Have no clue how I had not seen this one till today but I do tend to focus on inside grows
I wish I could grow outside but so many issues facing my location. If you look at an arial map of the Ohio Valley we are at the funnel as the valley dumps into the Ohio River valley. This means that we get cold air rushing down from the north but warm air tends to pin the weather in place in the valley. We get weird stuff like 57 degrees but 91% humidity.
Then there is the agricultural stuff around the place. Corn and soybeans within 400 yards and when bean fields go slurry the miasma of mold and stuff hammers tomatoes pretty hard. In addition if someone plows up early the bugs migrate. I can go from no leafhoppers to dozens after a plowup.
Yes I am staying indoors but do enjoy the success of others.🪴

4 days of harvesting the first week of October in 80 degree weather. Amazing.
Won't happen again in my lifetime. (at least in Michigan)
They've been hanging and drying and I've moved some into the spare bedrooms (2) and put fans in there. Went to the store and when I opened the door to come in it smelled soooo goood. LOL
Got the bedroom doors closed but the smell seeps out. 😁

Light rain all yesterday, a whole quarter of an inch. Geesch. Back to normal temps. 42 degrees this morning with a high in the 60s today. I'll go back later, check the plants and see if there's anything worth saving. Not throwing the towel in just yet. It's possible the cold will slow disease progression, but it also slows the plants. I'll give'em another week and see who does better.

Same temps here cpurola, 80's but it's gonna end quickly. I could of let mine go longer by another week but having those damn moth catipillars doing there business in the plants i just could'nt take the chance of loosing more to rot. Speaking of stinking up the house all mine were hanging in a spare bedroom and i had the front door open cause it was so warm i was hand watering cause i shut my irrigation off. Well i could smell the weed all the way out front, very strong smell when it's fresh cut and hanging LOL. How do you store yours? I do jars but i don't have the volume you do. Is all yours used for edibles?

Are your neighbors close enough to catch drift of your flower's marvelous fragrance? LOL
When I first started I used jars, but I quickly ran out of storage space, so I switched to plastic bins with the blue foam seals. Picked them up at Menard's.
THEN, I ran out of space for the bins, so I learned how to make dry sift hash. (thanks GNick!)

Thanks! Always looking for better ways of doing things. And the people here are so helpful whether they have the same issues or not. Sometimes it's a pat on the back, sometimes advice, always encouragement. I'm as addicted to the forum as I am to growing weed. And I need something to do, a project, over the winter, so that's why I'm following your indoor grow. I THINK I want to try that. We'll see.

No, I infuse oil in 4oz. jars to try out all the different varieties, then select the ones I like and give away all the rest.

Went out back this morning and as I feared, the alternaria has taken over where the septoria left off. The black spots are now in the sugar leaves and I won't harvest anything iffy. The trics are still not ready anyways, and need another week.

Volunteer, you can see a tiny brown spot of bud rot on the left side of the flower.

Little did I realize it would never happen that way again. LOL
I'm tired of the big fight, so.... Next year is Autos in the 12 and 4 photos in the dirt. They really prefer the dirt over the pots anyways. Problem is... which 4? Definately no regular seeds. I'll have to think on that this winter.

Gave most of it away. Saved the Afghan for me and Northern Lights for hubby.
It was fun. I really prefer dry sifting to bubble wash but since I may have missed some mold this harvest I'm gonna do more washing and hopefully get rid of any.
I just have to figure a way to dry it in a way that doesn't take up the whole fridge.
