2024 New England/Upstate NY Outdoor Growing Discussion

Yes i am doobs! You already gave the ptk. Ill hook you up with some meltdown f2. I just say this, youll have to pop them this winter and find this pheno. I get it ut 1 out of every 5 i pop so far. Green phenos take 10+ weeks, and the branches are weak. The purples are done in 8 and hold up awesome indoors and out. They make big beautiful dark breans too. No matter what you cross it with. Shes a monster

Dave and tim are going to jam! I hear this is neil youngs last show too. Hes selling his music catalog and fucking off for the rest of his life he said.

Started a bit of harvesting yesterday…
Here’s a shot of some NIX out on the deck (Thanks again, @Kushking902 ). I sprayed 1 branch with STS, isolating just that part of the plant.
She’s got another few weeks at least, but filling in nicely.

I don’t know if she’ll have time to self-pollenate, but I’ll at least get a bit of feminized pollen for next season.

You can see the melons :slight_smile:

Need some solid suggestions for mold resistant strains. Botrytis is kicking my ass every year. The heart break…. Central Mass area

Yeah, thanks Missin ! Maybe 7 or 8 weeks ? The trichs are cloudy, so she’s coming down.

Thanks Emeraldgreen ! The terps are kind of like a sweet wine with some pungency and spice. It’s got a few things going on in the nose department…maybe a grapey spiced wine with a kick .

That sucks Sargent. I am harvesting a Green Mountain Grape now, which is a fast flowering sativa… Sativas can have thinner buds, so maybe less bud rot. So far, I’ve noticed just a touch of bud rot on her. Do you have your plants in full sun ? Good air flow ? Central Mass hasn’t been too wet this summer, has it ? Also, Jagermeister strain is one you might look into.

Decent air flow, full sun. Mixed in my vegetable garden so it’s somewhat tight. First bit of rain in the last 30 days today and yesterday, but it’s been crazy humid. Small amounts of rot, but scattered enough to make me cut almost everything down ahead of this rainy weekend.

@SargentPiff - Have you heard of, or tried Jagermeister strain ?

I’ve been leaning more towards fast photos. NY here. Been very happy with atlas for outside.

If you see bud rot cut it out and spray with mild bleach solution or hypochlourous( spelled wrong)

Halo fems from Annunaki were untouched while everything else sufferred in my garden. North of Boston, MA. Same with Snow-G photos from Twenty20 Mendocino and Rising Moon Medicinal’s Purple Berries regs.:green_heart:

I grew some of @Emeraldgreen Early Iranian. Plant was done in August…and people love it. Will def be growing more next year. I’ve been fighting the same issue. Hasn’t been too bad this year, due to my area of Maine being bone dry, but with a few large plants, can be hard to keep up with it.
Think I heard on the news that this was the driest Sept on record for this area.

Another example of the attack of the borers:

No great surprise, but the PNWHP x Bubba (CSI) I had going outdoors proved to be a bigtime PM-magnet. I chopped it early.

The crab dance​:crab::joy:. Sorry at my work my boss jokes about another gm and supposedly she does the crab dance often I work for a shellfish company. I wish I had a house instead of a studio apartment so I could utilize the oyster shells and crab shells but living in the city makes this very difficult to do. We have lots of customers who actually call up asking for our extra shells for their gardens.

too much plants.
I cut the JTR down from 2’ to 1’. now look at them. I’ll cut them and the two Blues Deluxe down to the bottom 4-6 branches each mid-late Sept. That will be rough trimmed for hash. The remaining will be buddage, if I’m so lucky.
Five nice autos should finish mid-end or august.
JTR and Blues Deluxe, these should all be female.

Update Sept 25 -
The autos finished and are good smokes. One Hubbaabubbasmelloscope was a wrinkly leaf, sad looking plant. But it frosted up and is a good smoke. The other Hubba etc. is just beginning to flower. Obviously no autoflowering trait there. I have one Hubba etc. started indoors and it’s a deformed plant.
Of the five Jack the Rippers, four males and the one female was ripped out of her roots in a wind storm and died. The Blues Deluxe are finishing nice. I just hope they aren’t stolen before I get some.

Had a bit of damage from the storm that came through last night, few branches knocked down. Heavy, wet, rain-soaked buds and some strong gusts of wind causes problems.

I also harvested quite a bit this afternoon, and discovered a LOT more borers, as well as the early stages of bud rot. It’s interesting how one plant will get hit with rot, but a plant right beside it, branches touching, is as clean as a whistle.

First rain we’ve had in a month, I think.
