2023 Massachusetts Outdoor Growing

And so it begins, another year of the magicaly delicious outdoor grow season.
Usually, I start my photo regs in Mid-April, just to be sure.
This year I’ll be starting a but early as I wanna do some LST and possible Mothering. I have full plots and will be growing too much to list here. But believe me, it’s gonna be a great year. I can feel it.

If the weather is like the previous year or similar, definitely will be a great year.

If it was like 2021s monsoon again…oooof. Plan accordingly!

I can’t wait either. The NE can be a pain sometimes climatewise but when it works, it’s so beautiful.

It’s early yet, but FWIW Farmer’s Almanac is predicting June and July will be wetter than normal, but Aug-Oct will be drier than normal. If it holds true we could be looking at a warmer but drier than normal October. :crossed_fingers:

You shall have to wait my friend, until that time comes. I pop my regular photos in mid April. All I can tell you at this point is I will be for SURE, growing @Shoreline Bubblgum. Wedding Cake, Kush Mint, ECSD, maybe others. Also doing a Blueberry run, BC Bud, some of my crosses from last year, and some testers for a few different companies. Stay tuned.

U guys see this? Store opening in greenfield just to sell seeds! I find it interesting that they are opening a store just for seeds and not a dispo… thoughts??:thinking:

Yeah, here’s my thoughts. Gonna get ripped off and pay ridiculous prices for beans. If you’re around Gtown, contact me directly my PM here.

Lol it’s the Chai Life guy! I’ve seen that account and it’s all Aficionado and other breeders with their shit in little heady glass jars and wax seals for like $150-200, nah. I mean I’ll probably drop by at some point to take a look when I’m there, but my expectations are not high when it comes to it being anything other than hype from a white Rasta and an in-line skate hypebeast. Kinda harsh maybe but those two guys are my least favorite thing about the area- white reggae dudes and expat NYC media dudes who say things like “Greenfield is the next Brooklyn on its way to becoming the next Manhattan” and also accuse other people of being lost in the sauce? Hahahaha
