I loved it, walked out from my family room and had the door open all day, was wonderful being able to look at them all day. I started to get bud rot on a few so pulled them think second or first week of October. We put metal frame work up and put shade cloth on that. I hung netting from it lol but I am not going to do that this year, going to get larger cloth bags, less plants, and not attach the netting, have them on plant dollies.

8" or so in the first wave of this storm near me (Missouri). My girlfriend lives an hour north and she has almost double that! The local news suggested shoveling between the two waves so it’s not a Herculean effort doing it all at once. It took me about 45 minutes to clear things. Hopefully we won’t get as much snowfall with the next round.

My plants are happy indoors! After shutting down the garden for a few months it’s nice to have some growing again. I’ve got 6 different autoflowers about 1 month old, and just planted pairs of some regular seeds: Crockett’s Tangie, AK Bean Brains NL 5/1 x Super Skunk, Bodhi’s Smart Move, and Baked Beanz’s Port Wine Cheese. I wanted to grow all one variety but when faced with so many options I couldn’t select just one. First World Problems…

I’m a fan of the GMO! We have a cross that brought down the finish time a but unfortunately I think it took over the flavor. I’m running it again inside to see what comes out.

Sweet @BorderTownBud ! Yea… she will be in the stable for quite some time! The long flower time is a bit of a pain… I think I may do a dedicated tent of GMO and run 11/13. Shaves a little off the timing. What did you cross the GMO with?

It is actually Donny Burger(GMO Bx) x It’s It!
They came down last outdoor on Oct 16.
I had to move them to a small g.h with fans blowing directly on them. But they finished with nice buds.

Have to admit we actually got more than I expected but I was still ready. I have about 20 gallons of gas to run the generator which we didn’t need and had plenty of supplies including booze so not bad. I did try to get a half gallon of milk since we were a bit low and I usually end up tossing some out and there was not a drop to be found. As expected. But it’s no biggie. Today things in stores are a bit sparse but I chalked it up to deliveries still struggling.
My grow of Ghost and Chiquita Banana is doing fine and I started cuts of BlueDream and Black Cuban and PC3 for new moms.

It takes about 2+ yrs. and I used the top of a store bought pineapple that I rooted.

I thought it took awhile, I was just thinking about doing it cause I cut up a :fire: pineapple the other day and was thinking of rooting the top. But I’m not sure if I want to dedicate that space in my greenhouse to something for so long :man_shrugging:

I treat my pineapple plant & lemon trees just like regular house plants, I don’t do anything fancy with them…I keep them in my kitchen…or you can actually buy them at Walmart already started, it’s a seasonal item.

My ex studied arboriculture and cultivated a lemon tree from store bought fruit. We had it for a number of years but eventually it got too big to move inside/outside for the season. We kept it in our kitchen under skylights. It never produced fruit, but it was quite tall!

You can get em to fruit indoors, I’ve seen folks in my locale do it. Just started reading a book called, “Growing tasty tropical plants in any home, anywhere” so we’ll see how it goes. I had an avocado for like 2 years and finally gave it to my ex’s lawyer who used to grow weed but now just grows tropicals in his house

Yes, you can…here are mine… @JoeCrowe is into citrus trees too, you should see his trees and he lives in Canada somewhere…
