Been about 10 days since I last updated. My CBG is finally done its reveg, and starting to fill out nicely with some light training. Everyone else is going strong, but Japanese Beetles are starting to eat some of my fan leaves.

Hi plants looking fantastic. Would you put insecticide powder around the bottom of the pots? If it's outside the pots it wouldn't contaminate the soil in the pots, but the beetles would walk on it and poison them.
Also coachroach gel might be worth trying. They take it back to the nest.

Thanks on the plants, but no insecticide for the bugs as they can easily fly. They are rampant on our Raspberry plants with what looks like an orgy of 4-6 piled on top each other. Plus my 2 golden retrievers would lick/eat whatever I put near my pots

Would need a shit ton on these guys for what we have. We just get a bucket of soapy water and flick them in. I think on the raspberry plants yesterday, we flicked a good 30 of them into their death bath.

Got a late start and decided to scale back a bit this year. Really hoping one of these strains work out here in MI. Been dry as hell all summer.

Massachusetts at 42 latitude, strain is Jager punch by Bradley danks
Growing in double stacked 20 gallons right behind my backyard in the wetlands. I would love to grow in my yard but there are so many trees it makes it very shady, they get a good 9 hours of direct sunlight out here. I got these out late around the beginning of July. We've been through a couple of dry spells but haven't had to water because the pots wick water straight from the swamp. Only doing 3 plants this year, being courteous to the neighbors lol

My gals have really stretched over the past 11 days. My CBG that started to flower at the start has really come around and couldn’t be happier. I think this week is when I start to see the first signs of the transition to flowering happen, or could be happening with how some of them ahave stretched

Hope everyone’s plants made it thru the storms ok yesterday. I had no issues here, but just a few miles inland there was all kinds of misery and discontent.

Quick update on the crippy the breeder assured me these will be done in sept well last week in July zero sign of flowers I will hold out a couple more weeks before ripping these up an retiring growing outdoor plants in the ground it’s a waste of of time for whatever reason can’t seem to get buds that are ripe an cutting a few weeks early is a no go for me.

What's the rush? You're going to nurture these plants for months only to pull them up just before flowering? I don't get it.

Whats my rush LOL i get frost an days of rain by late sept, These were promoted to be done mid late sept if that were true they would be in flower at this point? I need at least 60 days of flowering to be near done so iam already out to late sept with zero hints of even starting to flower Get my point now
I've heard multiple reports of this one finishing in early to mid Sept., mostly on his Patreon page. Big Freeborn Selections fan here, because I like stinky weed! https://alpineseedgroup.com/product/cherry-west/

Thanks pal but Iam done looking for something to grow in the ground here, Going back to growing in buckets an moving indoor each night where i have fans an dehuies, We get heavy dew here every day everything soaked until mid am The dewpoints are fucking nuts here last few years shit iam getting fog in july 10 yrs ago I never saw fog till early sept an its not a ocean fog its a land fog when temp go from85 then 50 at night.
I understand! 11 of my 12 plants are ate up with septoria and I expect them to be dead within a month. But the Freeborn stuff I have indoors is killer! Of all the stuff I have grown, his is among the best!

How would I have known about your weather problems LOL? I don't know you. Believing what is written is on you. I wouldn't give up, but that's me.

Only thing iam giving up is wasting my time growing trees that rot out 3 weeks before they are done. Shit last yr after contacting an talking with Vashon I went with his early bird they told me it was mold proof an most phenos were done mid sept LOL well the 3th week in oct they turned to mush overnight an they still had at least 3 more weeks to go. So the way i see it really not giving up any thing other than beating my self up trying to grow trees in the ground.

I hear you and understand totally. I have been lucky so far. I have a couple autos that will be ready in a couple weeks. The others are in early flower , with the exception of one that is stacking up already. The dew has been bad the last few weeks but the worst is yet to come. I dread Sept and Oct every year.
