Rained like crazy here the last 4 days. I got 6 inches of rain in my gauge! Nothing for 3 months and then WHAM! Half a foot of wet. Fortunately they also got that much rain in the gorge and the Eagle Creek fire area, and that fire is pretty much smoldering now with only a few hot spots. I-84 is still closed east bound though.

We lost a few branches in the storms, but this upcoming weather forecast is amazing. Them branches get a lot heavier when they're wet. Anyone else have stories?

I wish i was that cloae to hang . i am of need of a semi or full auto male with a terp profile that leaning towerds the skunkt/ friuty side of things. What would you recomend ?
Ypu want a story . my humidity is hitting 90% at dusk. (830pm till 11pm). not good lol. Dry heat is my answer what do you recomend? (Gas stove is my ansewr)
If you can keep your night temps above 68F you won't see PM no matter how wet it gets. That's pretty tough to do outdoors, though, unless you have a greenhouse and a nice heater.

While a gas stove can raise the temperature, it puts an incredible amount of moisture in the air. An electric heater or a wood stove might be better.
The moisture isn't a problem if you can keep your temps up, I run my indoor rooms close to 80% to stay within the optimum vapor pressure range. PM won't flourish until night temps drop below 68F.

I do not know of anyplace in Oregon that stays above 68F this time of year at night. PM is easy to fix and prevent though, even right up to harvest time. 1 cup sugar + 1 cup hydrogen peroxide in a gallon of water kills live mites and PM. Or you can use refined Neem (no aza in it), 100:1 to water. Neem kills PM in one day, also kills mites and their eggs, and a lot of other bugs. The smell dissipates in a few days out in the sun.
Temps and weather are going to be great for at least a week now. Indian summer, as fall started an hour ago. My GH plants are doing fine, even with 6 inches of rain this week here. No PM with the sugar/H2O2 spray (even PM susceptible Grape Ape). The several fires that were encroaching are all pretty much out now. The Eagle CR fire was getting close here... too close.

Also if your plants get wet this time of year, you will get botrytis rot.
I also have one male left, a Durban Poison from South Africa. It fairly stinkey, but not in the skunk range. And it is not an auto. I was going to pull it but I left it for collecting freezer pollen. I also have some other male frozen pollen, but they are lighter pinene/limonene terpene strains, no skunky stuff.

Banned after lunch it seems. Dunno what the rant was about. Psychos are everywhere. *shrug* Maybe his brain suffers from botrytis rot?
Well, the weatherman says that its supposed to be a nice Indian summer here for the next 10 days or so. Cool, then into the 80s again, then cool again. But no rain in the forecast.

Maybe. I was freaked out when I went out to the GHs last week and saw small spots on my leaves. It looked like spider mites! Got my scope out and had a close look, and it was just ash on the tops of the leaves. *phew*
Wood ash does make a good fertilizer though, but I have lots of that in my wood stove here.

Yeah, if you can get the air temp above dew point and/or keep the air moving are the two things to do. Warmer temperatures can probably help any PM grow faster though. Growing stuff thats ready to harvest before weather becomes an issue is the ultimate solution, but the weather in NW Oregon is about as good as could be asked for this fall, seems like a much better season than last year.

Wood ash was the first soil amendment I ever used, I used it in the soil we grew the tomatoes in one year after seeing some PBS nature documentary which mentioned that ash can enrich soil and I was amazed at how the tomato plants outperformed the previous year's ones.

I use fire place ash at the rate of 1 cup a yard still even though many advise agenst it . i prefer to have a complex mix with many source's for fertalizer and microbial life.
