Not sure where you are but northern Colorado weather has definitely been like this lately.Two days of continual heavy raining. Temps about 14°C during daytime, humidity 95-100%. Forecast? Rain till weekend.
Welcome botrytis. Never seen august like this.
Seriously thinking of shifting indoors.
It's been damn nice not to have to deal with the heat so it's hard to complain.

I´m around here:
Mapy Google
Had to chop main cola of CJ because of mould, not that bad but in such a dense bud, it would be days to be ruined. Nice plant, early to flower, but not for my conditions. Keep going and carefully inspecting everyday...
I thing I should try indoor growing, 3 x 3 or 2 x 4, SOG. Even my wife is not against...Had to do some research about lights.

I'd definitely go for indoor(too)!

Find a spot indoors where the warmth of the light helps warm your living space when it starts getting colder, even the same room. When people spend time in the same room with plants, they get the benefit of your CO2.

Yes, you are right. Probably my home-office, there is even old chimney which can be used for ventilation and odour-control. I gues you are doing indoor, any suggestions for lights? I only want small room, 300-400 W LED lights. And always wanted to try hydro...

Get the most efficient LED light you can afford because the cost of a good light will be felt only once while the savings on energy will be felt every month.
Anything over 2.9umol/joule is good. 300W with that efficiency would work well for 1m² tent. I would suggest a smaller light to start seedlings, root cuttings and grow small plants under so when you harvest every 8-10 weeks there won't be a long wait until something is ready to replace it. If that light was 100-200W it would be plenty.

I already have 200W grow light, using it for seedling preparation-march to may.

Perfect! Then another light and perhaps a tent is all you need.

Yes, just thinking of myself as of outside guy. Have to shift my thinking first, everything else is no problem. Maybe take it as a science project to gain new experiences...
Thanks for encouraging me

It´s sun out there, finely.
No sigs of mold except CJ main cola I had had to chop few days ago-vapes good, i like the taste of fresh weed compared to last outdor harvest year ago.
Sprayed everything with Polyversum (Pythium olygandrum), watered, fed and hoping for good weather for another month and half.
Makeing preparations fo indoor grow! i want to start in november.

No new growth, all pistils brown, calyxes fat and juicy, trichomes mostly milky. I thing its done.

You were right. Both hoophouse plants have slight signs od re-veg. Not too bad and I don´t mind much, material for liquers and buble hash. No mold issues yet, but last 4 days is raining, morning dews, humidity close to 100%. Will be 8 weeks of flowering 4th of september. Plan to harwest in about 2-3 weeks, depends on weather. Will take pics then.
Autos turned out well, this year´s winner is Skywalker Haze, dense buds, mold resistant and nice smoke. Deffinitely changed my mind of autos, what a difference 10 years ago.
I wasn´t ready for drying this part of year, temps were hot and I had issues to cool drying place. - tip for next year-pop auto seeds 14 days later...

allways drempt of a fully automatic pollytunnel, you know, with auto temp controle and perminent filtered air movement and fans, if electric wasnt6 so dam expencive, id run some large fans in there. i have a large gas fired super fan for large garages, it would be perfect. just that would stop loads of rot in the high humidity time of year. might concider it next year. for the return it must be worth it

That would deffinitely help. I tried just to run ventilator and it doesn´t help much, low RH is the only key to avoid mold.
Fully automated hoophouse would be great.
Decided to try small indor grow like 2 x 3 to get high quality buds 2-3 times a year, did some research on light and stuff, wanna start in december. Next year outdoor probably autos only.
