    Does my plant look ready? Help PLZ

    Have you taken a scope to them yet? I'd say another week, but you need to see what your triches look like too. Close for sure.

    Good Morning/Weather Report Suite

    Frost Advisory along the Wisconsin coast of Lake Michigan. Freeze warning in counties inland. Lows in the mid 30s for me the next 2 nights. Girls are watered and fed and ready for the chill!

    Harvest? Or wait through the cold? Help...

    My practice is to trust my girl through frosts, and once a real freeze sets in, time to chop. I would ride it out and do the things needed to keep the base of the plants warm by watering and laying mulch around the trunk to keep the roots warm. You could also get some hand warmers and lay them...

    Thanks! You do see purple creeping in! Went out just now to really capture the purple and the frostiness in the darkness. These buds are going to be real nice.

    A Newbies First Grow

    Just the cold of the last 24 hours have changed my buds. They are covered in frosting like God airbrushed over night. I think this cold will really push this final swell to a harvest real soon. As a new grower, people try to tell us about that final push and swell period. It is well worth the...

    I feel for you, my northern Wisconsin neighbors. We have our first frost advisory down here in Milwaukee tonight, but I am ready for it. Lows around 32° tonight and tomorrow, but not in the city. Lake Michigan is keeping us warmer for now. Should get back in the 50s later this weekend. I figure...

    A Newbies First Grow

    Just having that smell in my garden is enough to keep me satisfied until I chop. Besides, I have a second girl that is trying her hardest to get to the finish line. She has me nervous, but I think I can make it into November the way our weather is going. As long as we get no snow for the next...

    A Newbies First Grow

    Seeing about 85-90% cloudy triches today on multiple test areas. The ocassional transitioning to amber. I know I am close, but the pistils are telling me to be patient still. I still think I have 10-14 days...

    A little help and advice please! :)

    I would say there are different environmental variables that would allow more watering vs. less watering. My environment is pretty self sustaining when it comes to water, so I tend to let that work to my advantage. I have certainly overwatered plants and crops planted outside in my decades of...

    Hey Ganga. Did I see snow on the radar up by you this morning? Good luck with this current round of crap weather!

    A little help and advice please! :)

    If it was me, I would dig a hole twice the size of the container the plants in now. Add some fresh soil in the bottom of the hole, remove plant and all the dirt it is in and place in hole. Add additional soil mix/top soil to fill in perimeter of the transplant area and the top, so it looks like...

    Bad Weather.

    I would hardly consider that forecast as bad weather. Let them grow to peak ripeness, man!

    A little help and advice please! :)

    Want big? Plant it in the earth. Dig a nice size hole, add some top soil or a good soil mix, drop it in, and start farming!!

    A Newbies First Grow

    I think my big girl is getting close to harvest. Although not there yet, I am thinking 2 weeks or so and she will be ripe. Amber hairs are become more prominent, and my latest scope check saw almost all milky. There were a handful of trichs that were starting to turn amber, but not enough for...

    Hey old farts..how many over 50 yrs?

    I'm so glad my wife and I waited. I cannot imagine doing all the traveling and fun we did in our 30s with kids tagging along. Now, I just go with the flow. Mid November we fly to my parents in Florida for a week, so my tolerance level will be tested!

    Hey old farts..how many over 50 yrs?

    In 59 days I will be turning 50!! The thing is, with 2 kids under 7, I feel like I am close to the best shape of my life. I just don't heal as fast anymore. But I am out there coaching 1st grade soccer and machine pitch little league with 6 year old boys, so I am doing something right. I am...
