Just in time for budding trees to carry all that weight.
Spring snow is heavy wet. Before January it's fluffy & light as a feather.
Don't have snow in the cast here....
Harvest day is getting close, yesterday was plain water only.
I don't think I should try a second grow, time is getting on and not sure if I should attempt a hot summer weather grow. I was really hoping for 2 grows but new soil is causing a learning curve.
What is the hottest indoor summer temps anyone has grown in? Did it go ok?
I had a grow that would reach mid 80s and everything turned out just fine… I had to water more frequently, but once I got that down to science, everything worked great… an old friend stopped by and asked me if I could store his side-by-side and a trailer. We spent five hours just chatting about old times. It was good to see him.
Only one thing in life that as easy as it looks is getting into trouble
Most of my grows are hot. I just tell the girls they are on a tropical island and they are competing for a beauty contest. I play a little ukulele for them and they do just fine. As long as there is good airflow and they are defoliated so they can get air, they should be fine. My tent gets in the 90s sometimes but the plants don’t know any better so they think that’s how it is and adapt. They may drink a bit more, you just gotta keep your eye on that.
Ok, I think I might sort through my seeds and see what has the shortest flowering period, maybe I'll give it a go. There is still time for them to get established before the summer heat. Gnats will be a problem.
Something to ponder for a few days.
Maybe some of your seeds grow better in the heat. I occasionally get gnats in my tent depending on the soil I use or if I reuse soil which I try not to do. I’ve never had them bad enough to harm my plants.

I usually shutdown for summer, too much going on and pest and diseases are at their highest.
I'll pick back up come Sept.

Gnats are a major pest around here because of all the orchards, vineyards and market gardens. I've had them seriously bad, used the vacuum to suck up hundreds of them in my 3'x3'. It was completely out of control, you couldn't touch anything in the tent without the gnat fly turning into a cloud of flies.
A trip to the nursery and a lesson in gnat control with nematodes, bought some nematode eggs. After they hatched and established it took about 10-14 days for them to decimate the gnat larva. I'm sold on nematodes for gnat control. They were expensive, maybe I could find them cheaper. You would not want to use them for a minor amount as the nematodes die off without food(larva)
Being water wise when watering helps as gnats love wet soil.
- Damage roots and stunt growth
- Contaminate soil, making it more attractive to other insects
- Affect soil drainage and create a wet environment.
Afternoon everyone. It’s cold and rainy here and I’m wanting some of that hot weather they are getting in the west coast. I’m wearing a sweatshirt and a hoodie in the house.
‘watching the race but did manage to make the colored popcorn for the Easter baskets. My granddaughter is gluten free and I’m always looking for something special to make for her.
bean soup and a sandwich for supper tonight. Hope all is well and having a swell day

I have a ham bone in the freezer for ham and bean soup, maybe this week I'll make soup.
I like your colored popcorn a nice pastel type color.
You are a genius my friend, such wisdom. I was always taught why do things the hard way, when there is an easier way. No wonder I spent a portion of my life in some kind of trouble, it was just too easy.
Now I'm too old to want to be in trouble.
a pleasure as always, thank goodness your back
Our soup is ham soup too. It’s alway good especially on a cold day. Those pastels are white chocolate. It really tastes good on salty popcorn. She likes popcorn and chocolate so I’m hoping she will like it too.
I love hotdog night
