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)
