Nice outdoor harvest this year for me!

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

Yeah that makes sense. I’m in the northeast and it gets super humid here but not as hot as there. I’ve been lucky with no mold issues so far in a few years growing outside and a lot more indoors. I live in a place that’s fairly flat and we pretty much always have a breeze at least. Rarely is there no wind here. I’m convinced that’s helped me avoid mold.

I did realize later that I planted too many in the plot. I’m just going to do the same number next year and just make the plot bigger.

once you get up above 65-70% humidity, along side temps in excess opf 92-94f. A cannabis plant cant actually keep its tissue temperature below 87f, and photosynthesis as a process stops functioning. In this context all a plant will do when exposed to sunlight is transpire. Nothing else. The air gets very still and heavy in the hot afternoon here. A plant in sunlight unable to do anything but transpire, and with little to no air movement... you can literally watch water leak and drip off the leaves and out of the flowers even if it hasnt rained in days. Youll end up with molds and rots even with no rain. Here giving em a couple hours less light, and making sure its shade during that 4-6pm stretch pretty much totally alleviates all those issues entirely.

I have a 5x15 net with 5 inch squares across the basement ceiling cram packed behind all that.

Wasn't supposed to all come down like this but weather and all.


Can't wait to sample these Columbians tho I've looked forward to having these buds again for years now.

That's just sifted hash I pressed into a chunk in a cigg cellophane lol. I wanted to get away from a bit of that "uncured bud phlegm"

That was a sample 24hr purged run. I put a half o back to cure just to blast some shatter later on. I got a solid 20% return just from the trim on that one.

Make sure you practice excessively religious, above and beyond safety practices with BHO. Synthetic clothing causes sparks in dry rapidly moving air regardless of ventilation. Toasters and old style light switches arc when actuated. Things like that. Just make sure you stay cognicent and never become complacent with the process and you'll be golden. No pun intended lol

My husband made me a grow room in our basement. It’s all white walls etc. Those are gorgeous. I’d love to grow a true sativa landrace of some kind but haven’t run across anything that fun.

I didn’t know that about synthetic clothes. Never would have thought of that. Thanks for the tip. I cook with it a lot. My job is a chef at a big college, and have canna butter down pat.

i have lots of seeds coming with those columbians, and i very much enjoy sharring. Theres a fem F2 coming between that stockier faster flowerin gone and a towering pure sativa pheno that hi 13ft tall and was wider then it was tall this season lmao.

I was just telling my wife last night, I was like 10 cans into purging some BHO and my ex TRIED TO LIGHT A TORCH TO TAKE A DAB WITH A ROOM FULL OF BUTANE.

darwinism.

Just pulled these from a Columbian bud today to test for seed ripeness. Gonna have WAY more then I need lmao.

I mean no offense. But having blasted that much inside wouldn't necessarily exclude you from candidacy for a Darwin award yourself. Be very careful doing that. Like I said, even a toaster can ruin your day (or life) in that context.

Wow I never saw a plant “sweat”. I’d probably freak out if I saw that. Seems you’ve figured out your tricks. It’s different in every climate and microclimate. It stayed around 80-90% humidity here most of the summer, but we have almost constant breeze/wind, and it doesn’t get much above 90°-92°. The sun is more intense down there for sure.

Sharing is caring! I’m a big sativa fan. I’d be more than happy for a few. Thanks!

well its the smokey mountains. We had a dry year but its not called that because of smoke lol. Usually the air is so humid and still here... You can see the water vapor in the air at almost all times of day. Just sitting there in big foggy smokey banks. everywhere lol. Itll disappear most afternoons for a few hours, but on many it wont.

Its classed deciduous rainforest here. On a normal year well get close to 6ft of rainfall. We have white water mountain streams here that are usually running good and so highly oxygenated and freshly fallen you can drink it without getting sick.


And as far as sweating, ive only ever seen it in bushy,. beefy, heavily lit plants with a super tight node spacing. Mostly indica leaners. But i accidentally found out playing with little afghanis and NL plants back here as a teenager that my plants getting tree shade in the hottest part of the day got lankier, but ddeveloped better further into the plant, and just stayed a lot more open to airflow without excessive defoliating. it skewed the ratio, at least here, in the favor of less light. very counter intuitively

Yeeeaaah, my 20’s were a series of poor choices. No offense taken lol

I worked with a dude at a commercial facility who went home and didn't come back to work. Instead of coming back to work he decided to get a bunch of skin grafts and leave us all hanging. What a dick, ammirite?


He had plenty of ventilation going. Big fans and everything.

But it was winter and cool dry air moving quickly when your wearing a hoodie made of nylon as well as ungrounded because you have shoes on generates a shit load of static. And if you ground yourself out on stove while setting the dish down, it burst into flames in your hands and when you drop it, it sets your synthetic fiber hoodie (nylon is plastic, when air is dry you are literally wearing a dialectic layer turning you into a capacitor if you are separated from earth, capacitors store and discharge electricity) on fire while your wearing it. Fun fact. Some socks don't create static on nylon carpet because they don't have polyester in them, so they don't turn you into a capacitor that can shock people.


Management called an entire work force meeting after getting permission from the guy to make it all very clear to us how dangerous making BHO at home is lol.


Sorry for off topic to OP. I never skip a chance to drum in safety when it comes to BHO.

It sounds gorgeous, even if the humidity is a struggle for growing. I’ve never been there. I drove through the blue ridge mountains but never near there. That IS highly counterintuitive but makes sense too.

its not something that i ever would have thought about. I discovered that totally by accident as a teenager. But thats also why i dont miss a chance to point that out either. Someone googling somewhere some day may click a link, end up reading his thread. And have a better grow because of it lol.


its insanely beautiful. ive been a lot of beautiful places. But i def came back here once it made sense to. And those columbians are the perfect plants to have in rainforest mountains anyway. For pretty obvious reasons.
