Michigan outdoor!! Let's see it people!!

[ganga gurl420]

Well there is yield and then there is consistent quality. I grow every plant with individual attention all the way through. I have (with a ton of trial and many errors finally grown consistently better flowers than I imagined I could.

Indoor is expensive no doubt. I share my heating and a/c and humidifiers/dehumidifiers with the grow and whole house. We all live at about 67- 70 degrees ambient and 45-60 % humidity. It radically lowers my costs but of course watts still add up. And it won’t work anymore if I add lights.


So I’m going to build an insulated room in my unfinished open Michigan basement or go outside.

But I will surely want light dep and then a/c and then...........

Lol you indoor growers.....control freaks lol j/k

I live in the ne corner of the lower,I went indoors .If your plant isn't done by the end of Sept you will get bud rot.My cage is in the edge of a swamp,which doesn't help.

Lol you indoor growers.....control freaks lol j/k

My house is 69 f year around and my A/C runs year round
"Control suits me"

That is not always true. Some strains are more susceptible to rot then others. I always get my plants down by mid October and they go through frosts and rain and I've only had 3 plants that were two different strains get rot.
Plant health is key to not getting rot ...

Tarps over the plants,fans 24/7,too humid here.85 one day 40 the next,weather is the key.

My breeder grows outdoor in Spain. Pretty much Michigan conditions with the rains and wind he tells me.

He suggests aggressively defoliating the plant of about half its leaves during ripening to help avoid bud rot.

That’s the only time I have heard him mention cutting leaves off.

Yeah we have wicked weather out here lol. Been growing outdoors here for about 8 yrs and it took some adjusting from growing in cali lol but I don't stress to much over it. Like I said I've only had 2 blue dreams get some rot on a few buds and a fresian dew got hit heavy (my first outdoor grow) but other then that I've never had a problem and they are 100% in the elements.

Many growers here have moldy barn dried bug ridden dirty outdoor.

I looked at a bud people were raving about its stickyness under the microscope and it was all black mold as I expected.

And it gets sold cheap and people actually keep getting more. For a little while anyway.

Ewwwwww... that is no good at all! You should never cure in a barn or open area. That is the one thing I will fuss over is I cure indoors in the proper elements...A proper cure is the most important thing in my eyes.

And with different strains, start times for flowering is important. Flower in early summer {down here in NW Florida} when it's raining everyday and most will rot. Start a month or so later in late summer when it's dryer, and most will be fine.

So I have a question.
I live right on the border and I've had offers to grow there in mi. However my plants are very big. What if a cop came around during harvest. ..would I get in trouble for having so much weed?

It's all how you label everything. Plants under 24in tall and or wide don't count towards numbers unless in the flowering stage. So unlimited clones and seedlings is nice. But with harvest it's how you label. Usable to unusable. With recreational we will be at the top with being able to keep any and all that we grow.... January 1st. Plan for next season to hit it up it'd be worth it then.

That's very true and that's where many people mess it up. Still good meds but fuck does it taste horrible!!!

I've seen powdery mildew but that's about it. Bud roots nothing to be afraid of it happens time to time when you hit multiple pounds on a plant. You rip it out watch the area and continue on. Losing a couple grams or even couple quarters is nothing to the pounds on the plant! But that's funny I had blue dream do the same. Very dense growing plant. I've been breeding creating strains that personally grow great in Michigan. Indoor and outdoor. Keep the pics coming peeps!! This is the pre gold Rush let's document!!

Anything with a root is counted towards ours.

I'll be damned!!! They did decide that a year ago......ooops...lol

 

[GanJaGawD]

Some indoor of what I've got outdoor now.....

 

[MichiganMedGrower]

Does this plant count? I was running a new Phillips 315 3100k in a sun Systems open vertical reflector.

Said to have a great sunlight spectrum. Lol

Seriously though I was told it tasted like good outdoor.

Maybe I can contribute for real next year.

Organic no till is the way. It can even be done indoors. Plant crimson clover as a cover crop. The clover pulls in nitrogen from the air and naturally releases it into the soil. After it's about 4 in. Tall you smother it out with hay. This creates a whole living soil. Clover rots ,worms eat ,beneficial bacteria breeds, work castings build....and Everytime you water all that gets brought down to the roots. Happy roots happy plantsindoors you'd have to add the worms.

Oh and that's a 10 x 10 cage 6 ft tall. 3 plants accross.

The unlimited seedlings... Are you sure about that in MI? I just want to stay out of trouble. Thanks
