Interesting....outdoor photoperiods will flower July 1 if you use artificial lighting in June? Always thought there had to be a minimum number of hours of darkness to get them to flower. Took down the other Northern Lights today. Can't wait to sample some, haven't had this strain before (at...

Yes this is perfect bud-ripening weather. I still see the occasional spot of rot here and there, I cut it out immediately but it's nothing like last week. Taking the second Northern Lights at dawn tomorrow, then eyeing the Gold Warp (thanks @thumper60!) for Friday or Saturday. Pine Tar Kush...

Harvested one of the Northern Lights on Saturday morning. Looks like maybe a week of great New England fall weather coming up with warm sunny days and chilly nights, going to let the other Northern Lights, the Pine Tar Kush, and the Gold Warp carry on for another week.

Weather's been nice here in Knox county too--sunny warm days, cool nights. Plants are doing well--but still seeing the occasional spot of botrytis on the Northern Lights and Gold Warp. Had to remove a couple of gorgeous looking buds today, painful. But I think the Northern Lights will be ready...

It's the humid air I'm afraid--been putting my fabric pots in the shed at night and during any rain/fog but spots of rotting still showing up. Lee hit us here with some pretty good gusts but only 1" of rain and my place is well-sheltered to the north so wasn't all that terrible. Plants in the...

Gusting pretty good here right now--but only light rain. I see some broken branches out there in the hemp field but the plants are still standing. Pine Tar and Northern Lights are safe in the shed, Gold Warp is tucked under a shed roof against the south wall of the shed, protected from the...

F_ck man. Sorry to hear that. I clipped another small ziplock's worth of rot today but nothing like what you're dealing with. It's a terrible feeling like you say to put all that work and love into raising a plant and then when the fruits of your labor are almost within reach the rug gets pulled...

Filled a small ziplock with moldy flower--even the plants I put in the shed to escape the rain and fog have botrytis popping up. Air has been so damn humid for over a week here. Sun is coming out now and drier air is supposedly on the way this afternoon which should help. But then all hell is...

Use it straight. I've never had to deal with PM (knock on wood!) but I've read that spraying potassium bicarbonate solution will keep it at bay (makes the pH more alkaline). Don't confuse that with baking soda--which is sodium bicarbonate.

The bud rot I see is botrytis, loves cool humid conditions and can start inside the flower where you don't see it right away. Look for brown spots or wilted brown leaves coming out of the buds. I just use the standard hydrogen peroxide solution you get at Walgreens, which I believe is 3%. Spray...

I'm starting to see a few spots of botrytis here and there, too. It couldn't get any more humid here--currently fog and drizzle with rain forecast for tomorrow, then all hell may break loose when Lee arrives this weekend. Got the Northern Lights and Pine Tar Kush in the shed for now with the...

Been brutally hot and humid here by Penobscot Bay this past week. Lots of bud-ripening sun but with relative humidity up above 70% day after day I'm starting to see a spot of bud rot here and there. A week of showers is going to be challenging if there aren't breaks of sun to dry things out...

Pine Tar Kush, Northern Lights, La Crema, Cherry Wine. Trying for PTK, NL, LC, CW, plus PTK+NL cross. First time chucking pollen so we'll see if it works.

Weather has definitely taken a turn toward autumn here in midcoast Maine. Nights are cool now, heavy dew in the mornings. Days are still warm but mornings and early evenings are cool. Plants are starting to fade here and there and turn colors. The Northern Lights flowers are really developing...

Another shot of rain this week which was actually welcome, soil was getting a bit dry here. Some nice sunny days too, nights are starting to have that autumn-like cool-down. Here's Northern Lights, one of which is well into flowering and moving right along...hoping for a September harvest on...

Nice...keep it simple. I'm doing no-till as well with my in-ground plants. They're doing great, while the fabric pots are being a bit of a pain in the ass this year, seems like they need constant watering or they go hydrophobic in no time.

Damn...gotta be a 12 footer. You must've gotten started back in March. Curious to know details about your soil, fert., watering regimen.

Getting some nice sun and drying breeze here last few days (quick sprinkle last night). Both Northern Lights in full flower, Pine Tar Kush surprisingly slow to get rolling but looking healthy. @thumper60 plant is flowering away now. Northern Lights, this one was in rough shape in July after...

If it's any consolation, I have a couple cultivars here in Maine (44 degrees North latitude) that are just barely starting to flower. We'll be well into October before they're ready. Not unusual. If you want earlier harvests you need to grow cultivars that start earlier. How many hours of...

What a relief to get some rain. The plant in that third picture still looks thirsty though. I've found with fabric pots that not as much water actually soaks into the soil as you'd think when it rains sometimes, especially when the canopy is developed.
