I found these on one of my plants today. I definitely had some light problems a couple days this week with my neighbors that have a spotlight outside about 50 ft away. It doesn't shine directly on it but it definitely gives them some unneeded light at night. do I have a Hermie on my handsIMG_20200919_170029975.jpgIMG_20200919_165902834.jpg

Well folks, according to the frrost map, doesnt look like we are gonna make that late harvest this year. 2020 has in fact, continued to be The Year of Suck. I hear the Pakistani and some far east places that grow hash plants and let them go in the fields until they are covered with snow. Well, Im not letting mine go that far So the question, how far do I let it go? The question is, what kind of damage does frost do?

Next weekend we are allegedly going to be in the 80's. If The three day 30 degrees doesnt stunt or slow the growth, hopefully we will go right back on track. From everything Ive read, I think there is no reason to overreact. Its not freezing... the 29 degree went up into the 30s, and I think we are all going to be just fine.
I think that I’m awful glad that I planted mine in the ground. Maybe the cold will stunt the mold & mildew one can hope right?!?:p

I’ll take colder than average temperatures all day if it means we maintain this dry spell.

Dry part I'll take. Cold just slows both plant and fugus down. Unfortunately mushrooms release spores when they believe they are dying.

2020 has actually been pretty good so far in MA ... it's been much dryer than usual, with very little rain or hurricane remnants so far ... last fall was actually one of the best I can remember for growing ganj... but this year isn't far behind

Did you not have above average available sunlight this year with above normal temps? Took longer to sense the end. Days aren't counted by plants so to speak.
They are in a hoop house and we are on the Cape, so I think the temps will be bearable for a while.

I don't know why. We had a raccoon tripping the motion lights and I finally shut them off. All I can think of.

Glad to hear. In MI it was 34F last night. In my first greenhouse in a box. Glad. I'm holding heat. Cold inhibits treatments and finishing.

Just from a red neck point of view I think the increased heat and sun with increased co2 levels just lead to a longer veg. I was about 2 weeks behind same plants cloned from this year for flower.

Lol I love how it takes a massive draught to be able to grow weed properly in New england. My plants are doing great this year. No signs of bud rot or mildew yet. Shaping up to be the best fall in years for me.
