Anybody still got plants left outdoors? I got one left that still needs another two weeks that’s actually still doing well despite the weather lol. My harvested plants are curing as we speak and I should get a weight by next week but I’m pretty excited

no in Northern Maine just harvested today...wasn't quite ready, could stand a couple of more weeks but it's going to rain for the next week or so and I've noticed some mold starting to develop so it was time better early than to lose the entire crop.

I had to slay the first one today... Galaxy... I wanted to leave it up another 7-10 days, but found some mites on a few of the yellow fan leaves ... I decided to take it before they spread throughout the greenhouse ... I'd say it was 5% clear - 90% cloudy - 5% amber... gave em all a bath then a quick hang in front of the fan, trimmed, and hung in the box

What a freaking night! House full of 10 yr old girls.. = I havent slept at all! Trimmed our indica. Only has some popcorn buds on the very base of the plant left outside. Thai stick and sour d are still going strong under their tarp.. sour d smells like black pepper! Thai has a sweet smell.. both have aphids but at this point im letting them ride and will rinse carefully after harvest.. thinking i should trim within the next week..in the last pic, background is another thai.. MASSIVE plant but is so far behind.. def hit hardest by the aphids.. prob going to be a loss..

Meh, i don't do massive seed bank gear god know's where those seed's came from way to hit or miss for me . If you want some real Sour D Harry Palms is about to release some Crosses with a Sour D from Rez's seed stock grown from one of his Growmies trying to get him to BX it :P.

Yes that's what it is ... I built it about 10 yrs ago when I was living in a duplex and was concerned about the smell when drying ... it's basically 2 sections, top and bottom .. the bottom is an old end table that I wrapped in insulation board and I built a box that sits on top of that ... the bottom is the "intake chamber" and I have a small fan pulling air in with small dehumidifier running in there ...the dry air ducts up into the top box, then air is pulled out the top through an inline fan and out a charcoal filter .. it works great, keeps RH at 50-55 consistently and can't smell a thing

Nice design.

only problem is you’ll need more than a few of those with an outdoor harvest.

home made gear that i have been working for a few decades.there is very few strains that finnish up here.
no kidding I'm still trying... if it's not a early killing freeze it's bud rot even on the ones that say they don't have that problem... oh well toke on.

Hey everyone.

Wanted some consensus here. I have some crazy big C99 plants outside. They are over 8’, bushy and gorgeous. Right now they are packing on weight and density. Trichs are at least 95% cloudy if not 100% but zero amber. Still white pistils but ive seen them starting to die off.

I have seen ZERO mold. Not a tiny spot.

A few days ago I built a three sided plastic enclosure over them and since then they have been absolutely bone dry in the mornings vs covered in dew. Showers wont hit them at all. Great airflow, not an issue.

I har planned to let them all go till next week to pack on more weight and fully ripen. This means them in their little makeshift greenhouse during these cloudier/wet days and throughout the mid-30s nights this weekend.

I see lots of others chopping. Should I? My gut says no reason to chop until i at very least see the first sign of mold or they fully ripen or an actual killing frost is coming.

Is this solid thinking? This time last year we were picking mold every day trying to get them ripe and weighing the rot loss vs ripening process. This year has been awesome till this week and i just want to make the most of it.
Lol it’s impossible to have %100 cloudy! Even %90 is highly unlikely. Even with a high amber count you will still have clear trichs as well. FYI. No plant has a %100 cloudy count lol

You seem very excited about your plant and that’s great but be cautious as bud rot can easily hide and is most likely to show up as she swells and ripens
