that wet is no good for mold tho, ok i guess if they are in veg state only.
but im not a comnercial grower, got lots of cousins & rellies spread on farms around here so they end up vacuuming up most everything i grow hehehe

good its warmer there now to not need those greenhouses, but damn those thieving loggers!, ive had issues with those guys B4 too, a person can go deep into the forest thinking you're in a real out of the way place then a mth later the loggers have put a dozer over your crop! & for sure real happy being able to grow in mid winter, it was always a sad time not having anything growing so now there wont be 1 minute when there wont be a green soul alive here hehehe

I think maybe a small heater would be OK for your greenhouse. They look healthy and no visible signs of frostbite. Very nice strains

yeah just a few leaves sorta got frost burnt, im thinking since a potbelly heater runs most of winter can hook up some copper piping wrapped around it & run through the greenhouse for cenral heating if it gets too cold in the future, but as it is apart from slow growth the girls are getting there yay!

There looking really good. They should get there before the hours get to long. That copper pipe idea sounds like one to try next winter. At least you now know you can grow test strains during winter to see if they are worth growing over summer.

im hoping i dont have to resort to heating the greenhouse, so far this winter it hasnt been needed, but yes a great addition to the grow calendar being able to add an all winter grow...really stoked with that, always thought it would be too cold for that

yup ive leant a lot from the 'mericans' too, & they are pumping out the real fire as far as strains go now as well, the euro strains have fallen behind now

staples to be planted out on 25th include;
GDP x C99
Raspberry Kush x C99
MK Ultra x C99
Sour Diesel x Chemdog x Romulan x C99

small test plantings of new pollen chucks include;
IHG Plantinum Buffalo x Cannarado Barney Rubble
IHG Platinum Buffalo x GDP x C99
IHG Timeless Montage x GDP x C99
Dynasty Caramel Haze x GDP x C99
Cannarado Barney Rubble x G.A.S. Cherry Sherbet
Cannaventure Girl Scout Cookies Mix x Cannarado Barney Rubble
Bay Exclusives Tiramisu Cookies x G.A.S. Cherry Sherbet

plants will be outdoors under frames with supplemented lighting of 20/4, then when approx 3' high around mid october blackout covers will be used to drop light cycle to 12/12, looking at a harvest approx early december 2017

grow medium is 50% coco & 50% compost with 30% perlite + added small amounts of Dynamic Lifter/chicken poo pellets & Blood & Bone meal, using mainly Canna Coco A & B nutes with PK 13-14 & Boost Accelerator in low doses as well as mycorrhizal formula treatment with every watering cos of strong negative fungal infection entrenched in grow area...

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

thanks Bob, yup that Cannaventure Raspberry Kush aka Pink Champagne is a real nice one, still got 3 originals to use in an upcoming purp chuck, i can recommend you to grab a pack cos...i think Cannaventure is going to discontinue making them, same goes for Cannaventure Pure Animal Cookies, when ive got spare funds gonna grab a few packs of those Pure Animals...soo many top crosses have the Animal Cookies in the mix, wanna do a heap of pollen chucks with those.
Hows things going in your part of the woods? hope those loggers move to areas away from your setup!

planting delayed until today...staples were planted out as mentioned above, though amendments were made to the list above for the pollen chuck testers, the 3 IHG Timeless Montage crosses were added because of that strains resistance to heatwave conditions which is very important in this zone;
Timeless Montage(f) x Barney Rubble
Timeless Montage(f) x GDP x C99
Timeless Montage(f) x Cherry Sherbet
Platinum Buffalo(f) x Barney Rubble
Platinum Buffalo(f) x GDP x C99
Caramel Haze(f) x GDP x C99
Barney Rubble(f) x Cherry Sherbet

Everything still looking spot on bro,got some nice looking crosses there should be some fire coming out them :)

thanks Ozcoco, havnt seen you around 4 awhile, good to see you back!, those winter plants look ok but im coming to the conclusion they will be below their summer yield by approx 40%...no doubt the buds couldnt form as dense cos of winter cold, so next winter crop will only be of the heaviest yielding types to be found so that the 40% loss of bud weight wont be such a big hit as these already light to medium yielders have shown this past winter

image.jpg image.jpg Hey guys I'm trying to figure out if I have a real mikado strain. She was a clone that I bought from a place. She's about 7ft tall x7ft wide wicked bushy and only about 1 week into flower she's about 4 weeks behind some other strains that are sativa dominant. All other clones I bought from same place are what they marked them as. If this is not the right place to post this please let me know and any info on the mikado strain would be helpful also.

damn she's a beast! ive only grew a male out to cross with approx 6 others going back about 10yrs ago, the crosses turned out really good, but i cant comment on whether yours is a 'real' Mikado, gonna get some yield there for sure...hoping quality is there in those buds! an Aussie here called eastcoastmo has grown Mikado out no so long ago, he was very happy with it
