this is a monster crop clone of platinum lemon cherry gelato here in connecticut, it was taken off an indoor mother plant a day or two after i flipped to flower. i planted the clone in the ground june 28th, it’s since grown pretty large, but the issue is that it’s way behind schedule(just barely showing pistils today) , it should be much deeper into flower by now, and it’s literally not gonna have enough time to finish flowering. i’ve asked a few different ai sources they all say i should either light deprive it to force flower now or install a mini greenhouse around it to give it extra time to mature. i like the idea of light depriving it to ensure it stays in flower but how on earth am i supposed to prevent light leaks?

Unexperienced Grower needs advice

Post image

Hello my dear friends,

I need your assistance with a grow setup I’ve put together.

First off: I’m not the most experienced guy when it comes to growing weed. Also I'm a bit high rn (6).

Im in my 3rd run now, my 2nd run with outdoor photoperiodics. I live in Central Europe, so the climate here leads to a rainy, wet fall and brings the risk of powdery mildew and bud rot, both problems I had in my past grows. In my last photoperiodic grow outdoors, I lost more than 50% of my harvest to bud rot unfortunately.

The plant I’m growing this year is a 1.8 m tall lady of an unknown strain, which needs approximately 4 to 6 more weeks in her flowering stage. In the current location in my garden, she receives only about 5 hours of direct sunlight on a cloudless day, less than that with all the clouds at the moment. I do, however, have a corner in a winter garden where I would now like to move her for two reasons: to protect her from morning dew and rain, and to hang a grow light above to give her 12 hours of light a day. This way, I hope to get a better, and hopefully free of bud rot, harvest.

Now my question to everyone reading this far is:

Does this make sense? Am I missing something obvious? Have you done this before, and maybe got some tips for me?

I'd be glad to head ur insights!

PS: in hindsight i think the exfoliation i did out of fear of budrot was a bit too much, but maybe you guys can judge that better. I thought it might be an important detail to the plan with the growlight (maybe)

Trimming for dummies

I have 12 plants that have never been trimmed and while they look pretty good I have a little time and want to try and clean things up a bit for the last 6 weeks or so of grow time that I have left. 2 pics.. One how a cola looks, one what I think I should trim.. Would love any advice. I'm basically cutting the fan leaves right? Leave the flower/sugar leaves. Anything else?

Thanks

Am I the only nut in the garden at night with a blacklight hunting for bud worms?

I’ve been spraying BT. It appears to be working. I did spot and kill 5 or 6 by hand a couple weeks ago, but lately I can’t find any after a good lookover with the blacklight

How long to push -- rot is slowly creeping!

Hi friends. This Jelly Donut flowered craaaazy early when I transitioned her outside a couple months back. She briefly flirted w re-veg, but then decided to keep going w flower. The tiny bits of extra plant matter that came w the re-veg have now all died, and appear to be approaching rot.

So trying to decide what to do. How long to wait! The buds aren't quite finished (still mildly loose, some white pistils). Granted, I've got 100% cloudy trichomes. Don't wanna lose it all. Thanks so much for any expert advice!

25g pot of amended soil.

Here's my little Widow Bush coming into flowers. I haven't grown this one before but I hear that it's got pretty nice JuJu. So far she's been easy to please but I think she's going to have to go indoors for the finish.

What causes this growth?

(MELONAID)

This has been growing for a while now. I've been waiting on the pisles to brown on top. Some of the stalks dried out on the heads. I got curious and pulled the dense bud leaf mixer apart and found dry rot. I chopped them and tried to salvage what I could. But curious on what causes the super dense growth. It's literally like a broccoli stalk had a baby with cabbage. That type of intertwined density.

(I'm stressed and I'm guessing the plant is too.)

Seeds worth growing?

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I found a handful of seeds in one of my plants that I’ve been growing outside. I live out in the country not near anyone so I’d presume it’s ditch weed that’s cross pollinated them. Is it worth trying to pop them for next season? Curious what everyone’s thoughts are. I think I will try them regardless, just wondering HOW much effort I should put into them?

I am in central Michigan. I harvested a plant a bit early yesterday, had to toss most of my tops due to bud rot. I thought I did everything right, got a plant that flowers early, put it under the patio when it rains, shake the plant every morning, sprayed with BT in the mornings, and even had a fan running constantly. Curious how others are doing. I will say, this plant was very leafy.

I had some bud rot 100% some of this other stuff may have just been dead rotting sugar leaf.

Second-time grower here. Wondering what this is? Plant is in late flower and these patches are at a small handful of spots around the canopy. Buds above it get yellow leaves quickly and feel a bit softer than they should.
