this reminds me, I need to do a preventative sulfur burn in my indoor room, thanks guys :)

in other news, my pumpkins are covered in pm, and it's starting to spread to my squash. I'm about to stick them all in a shed and sulfur burn them real heavy. I already had to rip up two pumpkin plants because they were too badly infected to be so close to my cannabis garden ):

I got a sweet deal, I got like a 25lb bag of raw elemental sulfur (granular) for like 10 bucks. It's basically a powder, very powdery in my opinon, lol. This super old nursery busted a lock off a shed that had been locked up for years and years, and they pulled out all sorts of fertilizers that would probably be considered raw explosives by today's laws. Anyways, I just got the bag of sulfur, I don't need anything else in my house with a grow room and a few plants on my deck. I just grab a scoop of that, throw it in the sulfur vaporizer, plug it in and walk away for about 20min-2hrs. Time seriously varies because that could be anything from killing mildew before I sterilize an empty room (could even be 3hrs if there was actually a PM issue) to a room full of flowering plants.

These times aren't scientific or anything, it's just what I'm comfortable with. I've had a sulfur burner left on overnight on plants that were at least week 6 in flowering. 8 hours of sulfur burning and they got a bad toxicity, they kept growing just fine, but they were black, purple, and yellow. I'm sure I lost yield, but amazingly you couldn't pick up the smell of sulfur on any of the buds except for one plant, which was just a small clone that was thrown in there for shits and giggles. Any yield I lost was gained back in the value of extra dark purple dankness. Either way, I'll never do that again and I would never recommend it to anyone, just a cool story.

I don't know if you guys know this, but TWS grows some great fucking buds, which happen to make the best fucking hash. I am, once again, faded as fuck on TWS hash. And I thank you.

I don't know anything about sulfur or burners or how it works outside but there is liguid sulfur fungaside by safer. Maybe someone know more ?

well the little fuckers! thanks TWS! you certainly know your shit lol ;)

Possible root aphids or fungus gnats. The only two things I know that lives in soil and flies. a common thing from infested suppliers. I was getting Roots organic from a Hydro shop and got them the 3 times I bought soil from them. you can all so see them flying around the soil at home depot. you can throw it away or take it back or use it and have to treat your plants if an infestation starts which probably will.

I've got a question for you guys.

How do you handle drying with an outdoor grow? Chopping and moving inside won't be an option for me, so all my drying will be done outside.

Do you just chop and hang like normal, or is there more of a process involved?

My buddy with a big grow will build an cabin or tent. I have heard many stories of people ruining their harvest by campfire drying. For quick and easy I don't see why a dark dry spot in the forest wouldn't work. I am no expert on guerilla drying and curing tho.

Can you put it in a shed or a enclosure of some sort? I don't recommend drying outside.
Agreed man, it HAS to have some sort of control over temps at the very least!
Even if you just get a garment box from U-Haul and secure it somewhere, would be better than nothing.
You could keep your dry dark, and out of the wind, etc.

We are safe but this one is close, 30MPh winds up to 2500 acres and started around noon. Banning Silver fire going towards Palm spring I think.

Ok. Let me run this scenario by you guys. First off, this is a backyard grow, not guerilla, I just can't dry inside.

So, I have a covered patio. If I were to drape some black plastic to make a shroud, and maybe get a fan going for air movement, would that idea work ok? Humidity shouldn't be a big issue as it's rather arid where I'm at.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Sounds like you have yourself a plan there bro.
When your drying you want humidity around 70% IMO..

I had just gone to the post office on Yale when I saw that one. That time of year...

I didn't realize you wanted it so high, good to know. I'm thinking come October, ambient humidity will probably be between 50%-60%. So if I'm able to get it relatively well enclosed, that should bump the humidity up a bit with all the plant matter. Thoughts?

If it just isn't going to work, I'll just have to figure something else out.

What are you outside temp day and night when you think you will be hanging?
