Why Is It Still So Cold?!?!

[derkaderk]

Now to be fair, I do live in the mountains....but we were in the 80's and 90's all last May (2014).

This year we've hardly seen the 70° Mark, and last night we dipped into the 30's...I'm all for cooler weather, but my poor girls sure don't like being moved in and out of the house. I already took down the outdoor tent thinking it was late enough in the season(won't repeat that next year)

Anyway, I'll be starting a log soon for my outdoor 2015 run. Bigger pots, new genetics, and a little cannabis roulette(bagseed).

Cannabis roulette, lol. Love that phrase.

May has been cool here in the nor cal Sierra Mountain Range. June is looking hot. I predict an early winter this year, with growers freaking out about October rains. Been a few years, but I predict the return of early rain.

Good luck on your grow.

My back can't take that shit, so my seedlings get whatever they get. As a result, they tend to stay small until it warms up, but I manage all the same.

@50YardLine -- I'm in the Sierra Nevada range as well, let's hope you're right! The last time I had to pull because of rain was 2010.

It is pretty normal to have cooler temperatures in NorCal all the way into June with a cold snap or even a rain storm or two early in the month. I just took down the covering on my greenhouse now that we are getting highs in the 90's regularly.

I'm up near big bear, CA. Normally we are warm by now...granted this really helps our water situation down here, or at least I hope it does.

I'm thinking today will be the last move out of the house....still a little chance for thunder showers but looks like it may stay clear.

Does anyone know if neem spray will knock out rust on tomatoes?

 

[50YardLine]

@derkaderk
Rust is a fungus, so neem would work. However I recommend a fungicide over neem. Also, up your silica and your phosphorous. Good luck on those tomatoes.

 

[derkaderk]

Thanks @50YardLine we had a really late freak snow in May. My tomatoes were too big to bring in, and got rust. Really only 2 of them. I managed to somewhat quarantine them, trying to prevent spread. I'll take the fungicide tip.

What about OGBiowar? I'm wanting to order for my girls anyway....wonder if it would work on tomato rust....gotta read the litterature again.

 

[50YardLine]

OGBIowar would work for sure. More of a preventive IMO.

The worst spring I have seen in twenty something years here in Colorado springs!!! Everyday is either pouring rain or windy as fuck!!! Every damn day! We are barely cracking the 70's and its June! Just crazy if u askme

I have an online friend in Ireland who's going through the same thing. She's trying to get her plant on!

Global warming:p

 

[GrowGod]

Global cooling :D

 

[GrowGod]

[rubthe nub]

Geologically speaking I do believe we are in an Interglacial period:eek:

 

[derkaderk]

Cold snap in JULY!!! WTH!!!
Dropping into the 40's for a week. Foggy and rainy....hope I don't lose my garden. Fingers crossed everyone.

the sun is on a down slope . It runs in a 208 year cycle. in 2030 it hits its low point in strength. The last 2 mini ice ages hit on that low point. It has nothing to do with carbon dioxide in the ozone. the sun runs in hot and cold cycles. We are in for the cold cycle in 2030. It's just starting. forget global warming . were in for a deep freeze.

I personally feel this is closest to accurate here
