I’ve tried dark periods up to a week. Even tried splitting the stems at the base with dowels. Saw no difference. Though human error could be my issue. No real testing just visual observation from one grow to the next.

down to 28 here in SW maine,830 am still heavy frost on everything.
I think those guys are eating your aphids.. we have them too on our most infested plant. You can see some aphids in your pic near the black bug..

I know I have the aphids which Is why I wanted to keep the ladybugs around best I can. Luckily they seem to be in check I don’t see a whole lot of them yet. I’m also hoping the cold weather slows them down a bit I’m trying to avoid spraying anything
I spend about an hr a day picking off aphids.. i find many on the stem where the bud meets the stem and also in the buds on the tops of the branches.. i have been also spritzing with a little epsom salt a tiny bit of molases and a drop or 2 of peppermint oil.. seems to help and my plants love it. if you have tomato plants you can steep some of the tomato leaves in water and spritz with that for the aphids..

A little off topic but does anyone in mass have access to some good cuttings? I wish we had nurseries to buy from so I didn’t have to keep a mother plant around. I would like to save my good seeds for next years outdoor grow and would like a few clones for my winter indoor grow coming up soon

Anyone thinking about strains to grow next year? Little early but I've been doing a lot of research and found some potential strains that will do good in this climate.
Purple Satellite from green mountain seeds. Basically a very early flowering oaxacan hybrid that's very rot resistant. Nice thread up on icmag, looks good so far . https://greenmountainseeds.wordpress.com
Nepalese jam from ace seeds. Another early flowering hybrid that is rot and mildew resistant, looks like a solid yielder but some phenos might go well into october. https://www.aceseeds.org/en/brands/ace-seeds/nepaljamstd.html
Vashon kush and other strains from from vashon seed and mercantile. These guys grow and select their plants in the PNW, lots of early indica dominant strains. , https://www.jbcseeds.com/vashon-seeds/
Bradley danks genetics has some good looking jaeger crosses, apparently a good outdoor strain. They are situated in oregon, somewhat similar climate to mass.

Getaway mountain, situated in Maine. I'm liking the r2 crosses.

I was so busy building the greenhouse around them all season that the actual grow was somewhat neglected... but despite their disabilities they seem determined to finish strong for me. I've been able to dial in the greenhouse so I can keep night time humidity levels at about 70-75%, when it's 90-95% outside. The temps are always 5 or 6 degrees above outside temp through the night. I keep 3 big fans moving air throughout the greenhouse 24/7. They never get wet.
The blue funk was the most disappointing plant all through veg, but it's turning out to have some nasty stank to it. It smells like a sweaty jockstrap filled with fresh blueberries. It's like smelling your own farts .. you just can't get enough of it.

Yea, me too dubs, same boat... I already have a list thumb-tacked next to my desk with a list of strains for next year. I'll run 5 strains ... two each. So far the only one I know for sure is M.O.B. I've never grown it, but it's my favorite strain of all time and I'm dying to reproduce what I remember from 10 yrs ago
The Purple Satelites from green mountain look wild, that may land on the roster. Getaway mountain looks like a couple Mainiacs flinging pollen all over the place... love it, I bet its good bud . I thought that other site you recommended, Cannaventure seeds had some unique crosses, I may try something from there... any recommendations?
With the greenhouse up and running I'd also like try one or two october/november sativa strains.... let them get tall and lanky and go forever, I'll keep the frost out easily into november

I'm liking the purple satellites as well. $40 a pack ain't bad. They are over seas but they take paypal which is nice.
I'm growing cannaventures Tennessee Kush now outdoors but I've also grown their cookie wreck indoors in the past. It's was some super dank stuff. When it's back in stock I'm going to purchase the gorilla wreck(gg4xcookiewreck) and run that outdoors next season, probably hit them with some purple satellite pollen. I've heard gorilla glue actually isn't a bad strain to run outdoors because the buds are more spaced out(harder for whole colas to mold up). Their raspberry kush and crosses are also a contender because of the short flowering time. Since you have the greenhouse you could probably run anything on their menu, I'm jealous lol.

I crossed vashon early bird with a cut of mother of berries last winter. Grew one out side this year to test out the cross.
Outstanding yield on a very rugged plant, came down last weekend with only one slight spot of rot in the western mountains of Maine. Which is faster than mob normally finishes for me by a couple of weeks.
I plan on taking it to F2 this winter and making it my primary outdoor strain next summer.
I looked for ages, but there doesn't seem to be much work focused on outdoor breeding. Decided that making my own was the best option, super glad I did.
I did pick up some tree of life bx to try, supposed to be done by end of September, breeder is cannabizien. 25 bucks a pack at dc seed exchange was worth taking a chance.
