This year for me is the furthest behind...any of the previous years....by about a month or more...
even our potatoes are just getting flowers....and likewise for our tomatoes... wife's annual flowers still blooming...

there are tons of mosquito's... for sept...huh!!!!!! and if anyone else has noticed a new variety of mosquito....they are close to 3/4" in size....which I thought was a rare freak...however I have seen hundreds of these.. along with the normal...3/16th's ones....

Apple tree's have finished about 2 weeks ago....huh!!!! 90 percent fell on the ground...
field and lawn grasses and I live on an arid plain usually burn't off dead by now.....lush and green..... huh!!!!
very weird year....

Best year ive had for berries in 5-6 years oddly enough. Everything else is behind like you. Really wish my damn peppers finished though.

Not all is lost. 75% of the table is still good (for now keepin an eye out). Just harvested 1400 grams (wet) also, of some nice ASD.

How is air circulation in the room ? I am so paranoid about bud rot that I often wind burn a plant or 2 trying to prevent it through air circulation. Also are your air intakes filtered ?

It's as good as I can get it with the current design of the homemade tent. I will add more supports for ceiling mounted fans next round which will work really well to prevent bud rot in the future. I have never run a indoor grow with temps (and huge size of plants) like this summer before, something that would never have been possible with HID. My tent is 14x12 and even though the table is 8x4 the room is basically filled. I also only had rot because my dehu failed and canopy humidity was like 95% for a day.

Crazy to think how fast the mould can take hold.

Dehumidification is the key. Without it you have a ruined crop many times. Why folks don't buy an actual decent dehumidifier is beyond me. They spend $400 on some consumer junk and then it ruins thousands of dollars worth of weed. They will spend all kinds of money on other stuff....but leave this all important function weak. To me that is just duh stupid absence of smart sense.
One of the first things purchased in any smart grow should be a commercial dehumidifier.
