Man, I would love to be able to grow outdoors. It gets so damned hot here and the humidity stays in the 90+% range with sparse breezes. Only strains I've seen take it are(mostly)Mexican sativas. Good luck! Nice to see somebody doing it outside. Ain't no way in hell I'd get a hole that big in this compacted,rocky, red clay without a backhoe. Glad you have the ability to do it. Double points for effort there!
Thanks !
I’ve been doing this for 20 years - hauling bales of pro mix back in the swamps - it’s nice not having to hide it anymore , but the fact that the price has dropped 75% isn’t
we actually used to do floating buckets in the swamps . Double 5 gallon buckets drilled at the base ,dropped inside a thick piece of styrofoam that had a circular hole cut , painted green. The ring on the buckets would seat tight to the styrofoam , and we would tie them off to trees , or beaver huts on the back sides of swamps . Some of our biggest outdoor plants were grown this way and they absolutely loved that nasty swamp water and needed no maintenance.
we’ve had an extremely dry summer . I bet we haven’t had more than 10 rainy days in the last 2+ months . Almost everyday here has been 75-88 degrees . It’s been a great year , but typically the issues arise in September towards the end of flowering. I’ll be going out early in the morning , with a leaf blower to dry my ladies out
my GG was insanely resistant to any sort of bud rot and Pm last year , and it was pretty wet with minimal care . Our biggest problem are these damn caterpillars “Monterey bt spray once a week has stopped that “ , and Japanese Beatles that are the damn thanos of the insect world “
I’ve trapped tens of thousands , and have convinced my neighbors to hang traps so I don’t bring swarms of them in here to munch on my girls
