Mine doesn’t want to know about it and can’t understand why I like to do it. I just tell her it’s my Zen thing.

I gave all my outside growers their money back today… Feel like I have failed them this year… Everyone has bud rot… Including my white widow.
Need to up my game and do much research on outside growing if I intend on giving advice on how to on the subject. I got indoor growing dialed in… I might have grown 3 plants in 20 years outside… Including this recent one.

Make sure they are secure in a green house. Once it starts to rain on your plants, that’s not good.

Done… going shopping for one tomorrow. Another buddy of mine has like 10x6. Great idea and great advice. I can grow in octos to that way! Even better.

My friends, how are you? I am just peachy over here at Gravity Rainbow Farms!
Since my last post a lot of things have happened.
-
- I have helped some outside growers chop and trim their plants. Of all my Kush’s and others, I have helped, I have probably cut 50,000 leaves in the last 2 weeks. My 72-year-old neighbor’s 8 ft Christmas tree only produced 2.63oz of keep able buds. There was some bud rot, but the plant did not produce a big yield and bud rot was not the cause of the low yield. The plant was grown in a 15-year-old mulch pit. Why there were a lot of nuts to veg the plant, there was little done to get the blooming stuff going in the soil. I said early on in May “Get some manure or get some TPS1 and feed it” and it fell on deaf ears until harvest when the question was asked “Why don’t I have big buds?” I went over there on several occasions and fed it some TPS1 water so what was there was probably from that. On another note, the sister white widow clone I put outside the grow house and fed it TPS1 on a regular bases yielded 11oz so it was not the strain. Like everyone else that reads this and remembers their first grow knows she is not alone.

- Solitaire – What can I say… She is beautiful! This plant was vegged for 90 days. Yuuup 90 days in an octo. Being a Purple Kush, it took forever to get it to the height I wanted. She was flipped on 08/24 and has about 3 more weeks. I will let her go longer if she keeps throwing pistils. I have had a great deal of patience with her and I am not going to hurry her along until she is done. Simply a beautiful cannabis plant.
-
- The BlackBerry Kush is 4 weeks into flowering. I nicked named her “The Jolly Green Giant” because she only took 5 weeks to veg and was flipped on 09/01. Will be interesting to see what this strain looks like at harvest. She is on the left. Ho Ho Ho Green Giant!
-
- The Phreaky Dreams has had a ruff start and my research shows that this is common in Freakshow. It doesn’t look like a Blue Dreams plant. The leaves are much smaller like Freakshow and it is much more stretchy than Blue Dreams. The distance between the branch nodes are considerable longer like freakshow. It is in octo’s now for a bout a week and probably about to hit water. Wonder if it is gonna be male or female? We will have to wait and see.
-
- Turned that outside plant into hash. Good stuff. Wasn’t expecting the yield so it was quite a surprise. Would have liked it to go another week but that wasn’t going to happen with the PM around. Didn’t weight the hash yield but I am happy at what I see.
-
- I worked on the “Mostressieskinflurbneseskes” 5 stage water cooler filter. I have the coolers and just waiting on the 3inch rotary drill bit to come in so I can make the hole in the bottom of one and the top of the other.
-
- I am doing research on a DIYS greenhouse for next year to grow 4 plants in octos and also some food. I think I got this… Will give me something to do/plan over the winter.
That is all my friends…

I did want to mention how much I have enjoyed the temp sticks. I am a data freak. They have been a great help in keeping things dialed in. They are pretty sturdy as I have not broken them yet as I do everything else.
In my opinion def worth the money.
Here is my data since 5/1

I bought a 500 greenhouse 6 years ago . Got 4 years out of it . Ran plants in octos in it.
Was big maybe 10 by 12 or so 8 foot tall . Plenty of vents also had a big fan running in there during light hours .
I live where it rains constantly had zero issues with pm or pests .
Octos kick ass outside

Im doing my research now whether i want to buy a greehouse or DIYS. The cost on some of the kits looks about the same as it would to do it myself.
This is one of the kits I was looking at.
Mine was not poly, just plastic. Worked well a few years, then the plastic gave up .
Do it again im going poly or glass. However the 2 69 dollar temp greenhouses are working well at the moment. If they continue to do well ill just run cheap replaceble ones every 2 years or so.

I gotta go look but it was around 35 a test with my member discount and points. I think they are charging $45.00 a test. The machine they have cost them about 9k.

Temp and Humidity are both down in my area,. Very cool… Little wind… and I can smell my grow house from down the street. No wonder people walking their dogs stop in front of my house with a grin on their face. WOW
