OUTDOOR GROWS 2024 ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE-

That Sianai looks a little like some of the SCC. I like the more airy flowers to allow the trichomes to develop normally without being squished. Plus they may dry out faster.
White truffle looks tastey!~~ We need to have an ICMAG taste test session!
Hanging in there. Been harvesting a plant every few days when snapped. Another small plant snapped. And the mice are back eating seeds out of small flowers. The big buds have the seeds hidden. I moved the fence so they were less likely to climb up the post by the damage.
Wind may get to 60 mph gust with 25-35 mph sustained today with around an inch or so total rain. Plus rain likely tomorrow for around quarter to half inch in the afternoon, and rain likely sunday with lesser amounts.
Fertilized the lawn with Chicken manure granules, so at least have something to look forward to. Glad its raining, but hope the flowers don't get too wet. Will watch the weather and may end up cutting tops on Sunday if prolonged rain is triggering mold. I don't think it is yet from what I can tell.

I want something like this so bad! We have a couple small greenhouses. But my backyard is on a plant so I'd have to do some leveling to have a nice greenhouse.I've been away from growing. This is my 3rd season back.
It was so nice this summer. 100% sunshine for days. Only 14/100's of an inch of rain in September!
I almost screwed it all up.
I had talked myself out of putting up my rain cover since I'm old, shouldn't be up on the roof and the season had been so nice.
I couldn't shake the feeling though it might come back like a lion.
It's a pretty nice setup, back porch pergola. Runs East-West facing South.
Sunday with only an hour to spare I hung it just as the first sprinkles came. 🌧
Like flipping a light switch. rain, wind, even a close by tornado.🌪
So glad I listened to my gut.
Sunshine is back out and we're back in business.
My idea is to build an overhang on the backside of my house that I can drape plastic over just like you did.
I chopped the Freakshow down a couple days ago. Its always one of the first to finish, but it could've gone another 7 to 10 days but we are in middle of 11 days of rain.
I was able to hang plastic over the plant in most worried about rotting. I left it open on two sides to allow wind to blow thru. But I'm afraid that the wind from the remains of Helene will blow that down today.
Still out in the rain is an Amnesia Haze and an NL2 from Todd, and the unknown Christmas tree shaped plant that I grew from seed from a local person that says that it's f3 generation of something she bred outdoors.
Oh and the outdoor Multi Haze has finally decided to show sex, as others are in mid yo late bloom. I knew it wouldn't bloom properly here in Va but I just love that sativa structure and wanted to see how big and bushy I could get her.
I can only imagine how big she would have been if I planted her in early spring
Going to be high winds until just after dark. Going to check on them at the end of the day. Camping out for this one. Will give me a chance to hang out and relax for a bit while I wait. Have some chance to dry early tomorrow and then it wraps around for more rain likely tomorrow afternoon.

Looking soggy I won't even post pic of what I got going on , I'll just say I slacked on support. I got a bit of salvage picking and staking to do

Man I got hit by bud worms hard on one plant.. totally ruined it.. the mold spots turned out to be fucking worms... so now I'm closely monitoring every plant for the little cock suckers...
Harvest time, cut all the tops. Spots of mold on most dense ones. Trying to minimize losses, ripe on the tops anyway.
Happy harvest! Drying under roof above the cupboards.. Can breathe easy now. Raining this afternoon and tomorrow!
Rest of the plants should be fine to make it through the rain and will let them ripen another week or 2.

Guess I can say, "Thank you LORD, for helping rinse the buds!"
These things are spotless. He takes good care of them.
Its good to test with storms like this to see which plants work better when making seeds. Trying to breed for early harvest and mold resistance, and a lot of the plants have it. Will have to get some pics as I trim.
High humidity next couple days, so cut them up more to be able to dry. Need to keep the moisture out so they can start to dry.
Any tips for harvest techniques?
Try to let them dry over 7-10 days until stem snaps by the bud, then jar in quarts with just a little headspace. I use 58% Boveda. I think they help.
Burp daily for a week or 2 then burp monthly during cure, then after about 60 days or so, could leave them closed to minimize oxygen. May be good to burp every once in a while.
Does anyone use oxygen absorbers?

Unfortunately it was bag seed. Only 2 plants and theyre not very user friendly growing them. Hopefully we can finish these before winds take em out. Staked them up more for the storm coming in from South. Gonna be a nail biter i think.
