mThank you Axle Bot, really appreciate it.
Honestly no plan for smell. I live in the country and hope my neighbors don't pitch a fit this year. I'm trying to keep them below an 8ft fence.
From the air I'm screwed of course. Hoping the annual stress of fires and now Covid-19 let me get through this year.
They never have in the past, but this is a banging garden this year. I know it's gonna stink.
Crazy idea, gonna pick up any dead skunks I see and pitch them along my country road to make neighbors think its just a skunky fall
Honestly I need to move to a more secluded country spot.
Took clones off my favorite plant tonight. A ginormous, vigorous Lucid Dream. Planning on an indoor run as soon as the weather cools off.
Gonna take clones of each strains top performers. Lucid Dream, Blue Dream, Slurricane, and Tahoe OG.
hey thats fantastic idea.....lol
i never would have thought of that one....
i was thinking a fresh pile of pig shit...
or chicken shit....
that stinks bad....nobody enjoys the smell of fresh pig shit
even just driving thru fast....lol
chicken shit, can be just as bad tho....
i always used to think near some pig farms,
would be a great place to conceal a grow op
because never in a million years would you smell it....
your nose will be revolting in the rank pig shit smell...
haha....
but seriously the smell alone, could risk exposure
you dont want....eh

Dumb question: the Bog plants I've got going have really been suffering this summer... lots of yellowing leaves low down and inside the xmas tree shape (has made improving airflow simple). As I've referenced in posts before, the containers are no doubt not big enough at 9+ gallons. Worse, they're something like 15 inches deep, which somewhat limits larger container selecting. I have had very little luck finding larger containers locally, but I could order huge ass (to pipsqueak me) 30 or so gallon containers but they won't be here for at least a week. Outdoors at ~42 degrees some part of me wonders if they'd be at all worth it so late in the season. A month ago, sure, but now how much new root development is going to happen before flowering begins in earnest, particularly where they'll probably be stunted for at least a week from transplant.
Should I bother upsizing or just accept that yield will be somewhat diminished and I will be jacked from hauling water all the time, and correct my error next year, or risk uppotting so late in the game? This is all for my own personal use, and given past experience I'm thinking I'd probably be okay in terms of supplying myself (I'm getting down to the dregs of the three plants I grew in the same pots last year, though I came across photos and those were still pretty small at the beginning of July last year).

i'm at 42 North also. I just transplanted a plant that was in a 2 gallon pot, into a 32 gallon pot. Yeah it might not fill the entire root mass with her roots.
But she is a Chem - Apollo 11 - Purple Trainwreck cross, I wanted to give her the best.
I don't think it's too late to transplant, at all.
But if you can cut out that one week delay ... any chance you can get the bigger pot local ... from a Walmart or Hardware store ?
I use 32 gallon rolling pots from the hardware store, $18.
32 gallon pot, no wheels, $12 at Walmart.
also if you can be flexible and use a combination of pots.
the 11 gallon is a common size. It would not be torture for my Chem-Apollo cross if I put her in an 11 gallon.
One other option is, a cardboard box.
Protected from the water with a plastic bag.
The potato chip boxes at Walmart are 28 inches x 20 inches and about 30 inches long.
I use them for shooting targets.
It would be real easy to cut it down to 20 x 20. Just need a sharp knife blade and some Elmer's Glue.
Since most people don't move grow-pots, the main thing is to protect the cardboard from the water. So the pot doesn't get saggy too much.
You can do that using a plastic bag. The "aggro" approach would be to just Varathane the cardboard pot to make it water-proof.

I could put some extra effort into searching local shops, the local garden shops have been super picked over this year so I haven't been feeling super hopeful, but I suppose it probably is worth a try... sad watching these plants dropping leaves.

Hi Yardgrazer,
have you thought about making your own pots out of plastic root barrier???
I posted some information about this a few pages back.

Buy some chicken wire and burlap sacks and make your own pots. You can also go look around building sights and look for the big pots the use on some big trees. They don't need to be purty just functional.

I did think about following those instructions, yeah. I'll see what I can find tomorrow, in a rural area without that many shopping options (and even fewer constructions sites!)
Add some perlite to the extra soil you're going to use
My 88G13HP is still suffering the fallout from it's boytritis attack. It's been plagued by a problem I have every year, on many of the plants in my garden. The limbs are growing so fast they outgrow their support and my attempts at staying ahead of the damage. I've noticed it's a strategy bushy plants use to outgrow the competition. A big main limb gets so long and bushy it breaks and falls onto the surrounding weeds. As it heals it sends out new runners down the branch that quickly overgrow the weeds.
This happened to the 88G13HP a month ago but I was gone for a couple days so I didn't fix the broken branch. It died and had to be removed. The wet rainy weather at the time allowed boytritis to invade the wound, infecting the main stalk. It spread up and down, infecting the limbs above and below. By the time I was aware of what was happening and fought it off it had already weakened two more main limbs. Which then broke and had to be removed. Everything is growing so fast the empty space will be filled in by other branches but it's still a loss and it's resulted in a weakened plant.
The strain is susceptible to this type of stem rot, I've seen it in other plants containing the genetics. It's strange because it's strong for a hashplant against bud rot. It's also one of the only strains I've seen successfully fight off a boytritis stalk attack during wet cool autumn weather. It's been warm and dry so the boytritis has dried out and died but the spores are still there. I've been pouring rubbing alcohol on it, I'll add some Neosporin antibacterial ointment to goup it out. Here's pictures of the damage.

And the latest loss, where the large branch that broke off a couple days ago.
Here's what she looks like.
I'm going to apply the Neosporin inside the cavity, hopefully keeping out pests and mold. The worst case scenario is that the mold will girdle the plant and kill it, or at least weaken it considerably. It's disappointing, it's one of my finest plants. I've got another female 88G13HP that looks great although not as big and vigorous. I'm convinced the plant is G13 dominate, it has some of the biggest Indica leaves I've seen. The smaller one seems to be Hashplant dominate, it's not really 'small', just compared to it's big sister.
Here's the smaller Hashplant dominate one.
My two Strawberry Glues (Strawberry Shishkaberry x GG4) are impressive. One is shorter and extremely bushy and wide leaved. Both have had an epoxy glue smell but the sweet Shishkaberry smell gets stronger every day. My guess is the shorter one will be superior but we'll see. Here she is.
Almost all my plants are telling me they're going to be very potent. When I try new strains it's usually a mixed bag but this batch seems to be something special.

Would copper spray work on that kind of Botrytis infestation? Might be worth a try if that isn't something you're already using?
Thanks for the planter input folks, I got some supplies and threw together a few super-ghetto larger planters. Doesn't do much for stealthiness (now sitting much higher off the ground), but hopefully will help the sad plants.

Is that a fallen log on the background? Could be source of the mold maybe?
