Southwest Virginia outdoor

[SBNDB]

Anyone in the area gonna have a good season? Cause I surely am not. Have lost 90% to mold/rot/ botrytis whatever u wanna call it. If you are i’d love to know how you beat the mold

I'm between Charlottesville and richmond and will be ok. My first grow really and I had over/under watering issues and underfeeding. But newbie mistakes really. One plant is really late bloomer but the other is tasty and buds are getting fat.

Greenhouse/hot box. Kept my walls off and roof on over the summer
Keeping the rain off the flowers and controlling water up take gose a long way in preventing mold and rot

I use grow bags so haven't had any issues...other than me overwatering and then underwatering to dry out. I think next year I use a pop-up tent to cover during the hot summer. We also haven't had an overabundance of rain in Central VA so rot hasn't been an issue.

Not me only good bugs that I've spotted and nobody's eating the leaves. June bugs and Japanese beetles were bad this year but they never did damage just hung out on the plants sleeping lol

Yes there was and never found it till I was cutting it up lol. Top cola didnt fare well with that and a bit of mold.

Only ended up with 5.2 oz dried trimmed and jarred off that plant.

I don’t Have pics because it’s already cured and jarred, but I only got about 5 oz of good bud. I’m growing on my deck. In ff hf. Didn’t give them much attention this year due to personal issues. Gearing up to do some indoor Dwc this Winter.
