rained hard here for the last two days.. came back to find a little bit of rott here and there.. what methods beside no rain and constant air movement do you guys prefer?

Ive had some spots of mold also and I've cut out the infected area, but very carefully. Try not to disturb the spores. They will float around and continue the cycle. So cut out and bury infected matter. And then I have a spray bottle of "Serenade" that I apply to the surrounding area. I also spray the entire plant with Serenade about every other week to try to prevent but with this strain it is just going to be a continuing battle. Good luck. And wash your hands and whatever implements you use to cut out the mold. Don't want any cross contamination.

Yea, I've seen more bizarre insects with this grow than I ever have in my back yard. I guess it attracts certain bugs. The thing I don't like about this spider is that it has fangs or pinchers and it looks like they're meant to bite. I tried to google for red spiders and couldn't find another one like this. I'm going to be very careful when I harvest, that's for sure.

That looks alot like the spider that bit Peter Parker!! If it has a blue underside, well the choice is up to you!

Thanks Sunni. Any advice on why my plants didn't begin to flower until late August. Is that pretty normal. The attitude said end of sept finish so I figured late July early August start. Is it because I started too early? Or different region than most. Haven't found any growers near me to check but I guess I don't really tell anyone I grow. Only pinky fingernail sized buds half way through the first week of sept. it will more than likely freeze by the end sept beginning of oct so I'm a little nervous. Any response appreciated thanks

Outdoor flowering is all about the photoperiod, here in Ireland mine haven't even started showing pistils yet.

 

[jbrown3]

i have 3 outdoor right now and 2 were planted in the end of may and flowered late july, and the other was planted in end of june and flowered late august, so i think it has to do with planting time, they need to mature up i guess

 

[jbrown3]

photoperiod too tho no doubt

 

[Bakatare666]

photoperiod too tho no doubt

You get the info you wanted bro?
Do you veg your plants at all indoors before you put them out? Or just throw them out when you want to start them?

I've asked this question too, cause I live near the equator and got curious about those estimated flowering times they put on brand seeds. I asked this d00d that mods over the sensi forum, if that estimation could be applied to where I live, or if it was strictly for northern growers (states or europe). For what I recall, depending on where you live, those estimations mean shit. You gotta plan ahead, by knowing how seasons and the sun changes around your growing area.
My plants are barely flowering by now, I'll be harvesting in december, or november at the soonest.

I believe the estimate given by breeders is under optimal controlled conditions which they will most likely not disclose, but outdoors, for instance, at the beginning of May, I put out a Sour D and a Purple Kush that had both been vegged for 60 days into 15+ hrs of light per day, along with a bagseed cutting.
All 3 started to throw pistils after about 3 weeks, but then the Diesel started to reveg and the other two continued to flower, although very slowly.
It all depends on the plant, but I think anywhere close to 14 hrs. is low enough to start it flowering.

 

[ambedexteras]

I started my 7 outdoor babies within weeks of each other
And still I have some that are 3-4 weeks into flower and some that are 1-2
Weeks in. In maturity, strain, conditions
That will affect ur flower time

Hello, fellow outdoor growers, with waaayyyy more experience than I. So my girls all have super compact soil, watering takes forever to allow it to absorb and then soak more in. Is there something I can do, would it be stupid of me to poke some holes down in her soil? Totally guessing here! Thanks all.

You don't give any details, so I have no way of knowing if they might just be rootbound, but if you just didn't add any perlite to your soil before planting, yes, poking holes with a screwdriver or BBQ skewer will help for a while.
