Soul Mate and SS4 chopped today! Your post @BRMTreefarmer pushed me over the edge. Pretty happy! First outdoor harvest in many years.

Looks like its about to be gd moldapalooza this next week or so. I “over planted” to compensate hopefully. May end up just losing it all though. My outdoor luck is pitiful. Already pulled some really dense ones down early and threw em in the freezer for bubble hash. May have to do alot of that.

Same.
I tried growing outdoors this year for the first time and it’s a moldy caterpillar-palooza out there 
I feel like my body is going to mold from the humidity.

I spent some time building stone hardscapes. Firepits, patios, walkways, small jobs at berkley plantation. Tripping on string lines, digging by hand when machines wont fit, shitting in the woods etc. I miss it/dont miss it, lol. Alot of snow shovel contracts in the winter when work was slow. Packing a lunch at 4:15 in the morning…haha.
Nice looking deck!

The weather was a concern for me as I did not want to toss another 1.5pounds this year because of bud rot. It is not the ultimate reason why I cut. The trichs were looking fat and cloudy so I chopped the green crack and the sour diesel as not to take any chances. Got 12oz of trim bud off the green crack and havent trimmed up to sd yet as it is drying out still. I had a bruce banner too but it super cropped in June and started to bud so at the end of aug I cut it as the trichs were on point and again, not taking any chances of bud rot etc.

No all my genetics come from the Netherlands. It came from seed last year and my last harvest in Jan i left the root ball in the octos until the beginning of march. When I threw the soil out i guess it was still alive and in may i found it where i was going to grow outside so I kept it.

…Been a while since anybody has posted to this thread. To all you outdoor growers: Are you loving this long dry spell???
If your plants managed to hold out past all that humidity in late summer, I suspect they’re thriving with this wacky warm, dry autumn.

Pulled my last one Thursday, the last few weeks saved me. i managed to salvage a couple of plants. Lost a bunch real fast that week when Helene and the other big rains hit. It’s brutal, i was spraying everyday and my plants are under roof so they don’t get wet and still lost a bunch. I don’t see how anyone ever gets through a grow outside without a roof. Makes me wonder how much chemical fungicide I’ve smoked over the years from other growers. Seems like that’s the only way anyone would be successful outside in my part of Virginia.

I also haven’t pulled mine. I let mine go until frost. And never bring them inside. Even if it rains, the sun and wind will dry the buds back up. I’d worry more if my plant was in my humid garage while it rains outside.
Also Va is super humid. A lot of dense indicas will mold and rot here. Those are better for a low humidity place like Colorado.

I tested out Green Crack which is supposed to resist BR for two years now. None at all. I live in between two swamps here in Hanover and it gets super humid around here. My problem was sativa s that super cropped in late June and had thick buds by Aug, they rotted all out. Threw away like 1.5pounds last year.
Just something for people to think about if you have that problem year after year. Hunt down the strains that have high resistance to BR and such.
