It is a medical state also for growing but I am not in the legal catagory the copters were directly over our house and such . Better safe than sorry gosh they could've used this last week of grow it's been so nice here in Vermont. At least my drying room with this weather is perfect for drying.
Thanks Tyson53, and northeastmarco
 
Just got back from my spot. When i was almost there a millitary looking chopper went by low but not too low and slow but not too slow. Went by and a minute later came by again and never circled but i dont like it lol on another note i want opinions please. My plants are supposed to flower 8-10 weeks according to the seed bank and im 6.5 weeks in. I keep finding small PM spots but not enough to do serious damage to a majority of a plant. Do you guys say pull them now or keep trying to control the PM and get another week or two?

in my state the LEO use the Air National Guard helicopters..a friend of mine is in the ANG and a chopper mechanc and he told me it cost 5-6000 a day to run the chopper...and said it went out twice this year for the DEA for pot search..once to scan the state and federal lands..and the other was on a tip off of a grow of 182 plants ..I dont think they can be bothered for 10 or 15 plants...I been growing here on my property for 40 years and never bothered...funny thing is..this area is known for growing...lots of 60's generation people here....

I believe this to be true where I live also for the most part. In NY according to NORML, you can have up to 10 plants and it's still just a violation as if you're only possessing under 28 grams. Where they get you is the weight of your grow, and we all know where that goes. In my area there are several growers and nobody gets busted but maybe a plant missing with a post card from the local sheriff's office.

Keep growing. Just spray them with milk.

Im gonna do the neem/baking soda then half way through the week the milk/water. Im wondering which is better after rain?
Is the neem going to give your bud an unwanted taste using it this close to harvest? I don't use it outdoors so I'm just curious. I know I don't like using it indoor after 2-3 weeks into flower. but there is also no rain to wash it out of the buds.

Thats a good question...perhaps i can stick with milk trying to ride out the last week or two? Every day has been humid like 60% or higher. Shower came briefly today, showers tomorrow, then sat! Not a lot of rain but still

Wanted to show you my girls, growing at 56 n lat. Found this spot last year, it's like 40m from water channel, what farmers made in 30's for crop irrigation, so it's really easy to get water for my girls and its crystal clear..so it's much better from my last spot, where i needed to bring water from my house..what was pain in the ass.
About fertilizers, have been using fox farm trio (big bloom, grow big, tiger bloom) and the other trio (open sesame, beastie bloomz, cha ching).. At the moment i use beastie bloomz, tiger bloom and Bio Bloom, because my fox farm big bloom ended 2 weeks ago, so have been replacing it with bio bloom, which i have from last year. Also planning to water some Atami Bio-Bloomblastic after im done with beastie bloomz schedule.
I had huge amount of seeds from my last years Pineapple Chunk, what i planted under lights indoor in early March, some even in February and January, at the beggining i thought i will manage only with them, in April i found out that AmsterdamMarijuanaSeedBank was giving away 20 "Frankenshtein" seeds with every order, what i found tempting, So i made a order for 10 regular seeds of "Bianca", which i also found tempting, because it was breeded from 3 very good strains - white widow, white queen and afghani. I had 7 of them after germination, 3 of them were loving the sun in my yard, other 4 was in the "spot" and they all looked freakin awesome all summer long, but then the blooming came and all of them were boys..ALL OF THEM. Actually i found that interesting that there was no info or grows about the strain in forums, when i ordered them, but there are so many out there and it was pretty new..so why not try. In summer i found some guy writing that he had 3 Biancas and he had the same problem as me.
I don't think i will try that strain again.
But for good, i had those 20 Frankensteins. I planted 7 in the spot ( 3 of them were males), and 4 i have in random spots, where they are living by their own, i planted them out after they were about 15 cm tall and around half of May and haven't checked them ever since. And left some Frankies for some indoor grow. There also are 3 Pineapple chunk's at the "spot" and couple more at random places. There was four ~ 1 m tall Chunk's when i planted them at those random spots in May, and they were pretty strong so i think they will manage on their own.

First six pictures are of unknown strains, but i have some ideas what it could be.
1. In the right i have my favorite plant, it has really great smell ( i would call that old-school smell, if you know what i mean), i'm really looking forward to it. In left, idk even if u can see, but there is this smaller plant and it have that lemon aroma.
2 and 3. Some early buds from that Old-school aroma plant.
4. This plant was like 20 cm tall and 10 cm wide till late august, but it made some interesting form and spread really wide, but still is like 30-40 cm tall and i don't think it will get any bigger. And a last week and a half it has started to produce buds, which has really intense smell, actually i find it kind of disturbing. I would say it's some kind of cheese, but i'm not expert.
5. Do not underestimate these small stinkies.. Actually i don't think this girl will mature enough till the first frost comes.
6. I don't have a clue what this strain could be, but it's really sticky and i'm planning to use to make some bubble hash, so i ordered BubbleBagDude's bubble bags and can't wait to try them. And i have over fertilized this plant :( , so i'm flushing it with clear water for last days
7. And this is my "royal" Pineapple chunk. Made some more pictures, but the quality is so shitty i don't even want to post them, but have 2 plants like these about 2,5 tall and one not so happy plant,which got place behind the "monsters".
These all are 4 days old pictures, the bouds have double sized in these days.

They all are pretty early and need at least 4 weeks till finish, i think, except that cheesy which i think need atleast 6 weeks. Biggest worries are about frosts, forecast for next two weeks don't show any big changes - about 13-18°, and next week there is prognosis for 20 ° +, which is nice. That's how far i can see in my local forecast, but all can happen.

I wish all the patience and goodygoods! :)

been trimming for the last week...wow..lots of work..have not even used the trimmer...will for the last 4 plants..so far trimmed 2 nine pound hammers..have to say this stuff is very very good...it hits like a hammer...glues your ass down ..has a great taste..citrus in spicy out....then did a a jamican dream...this was a surprise to me how good this strain is...it tastes like old school cannabis..spicy hashy..expands in lungs..its very racey...not for any one with anxiety..had me going 400 miles an hour and nothing done..loll...it will be in garden next year with the 9 pound hammer...then trimmed up headband 707...this was a funny plant...the pistil covers where deep purple..no real sugar leaves..all the trics were in the bud..I mean this was some outside crystals but was so packed inside the bud also...this plant taste so good...sorta a pine taste..smells like pine-sol..lol...again its very racey...very uplifting...this was a seed I got years ago and finally tried it out...I did cross it with the 9 pound hammer on a few buds...got some nice seeds (18)...see how that goes next year..Oh I also pollinated the 9 pound with a male 9 pound I got from seed...got 20 seeds..this is a crazy good strain..

now all thats left is a Bros Grimm C99 that I got seeds back in 2002...was in my seed bank..I grew the Female brand C99 last year...this strain seems to take a bit longer in flower by a week...so that will come down this week end...what a great producer and smells great ..like a open can of Dole pineapples and huge buds and colas...did find 2 spots of a little rot so keeping a eye on her..increase air in greenhouse....

I have a critical ++ ..it was a seed given out if you got a pack of their seeds a few years back...so gave it a shot this year..its a cross of Mass critical AK47 and exodus cheese...it was a one year thing on that strain...was from DNA I believe..its a wicked grower..big rock hard drippy buds...and lots of them..I think another 2 weeks and she is done...I just took a sample bud today to put in paper bag to try out...this plant is so good looking...smells like citrus/berry fuel....

last one out is the Sweet Thai...a longer sativa strain...i think this is going to Nov 1st on me...every one will be out of the GH so I can add a heater if needed...the buds are really starting to stack up...they are walnut size now and some a little bigger...smells very spicy...sorta like incense ...been a great year..so far out of a few pounds maybe a ounce of rot...knock on wood....the drying room reeks now and house also...all this trimming makes my eyes itch and skin itch...

Oh the dogs are in heaven..they love eating leaves and stems...and a bud here and there...its funny to see them crawl up on couch and crash..lol...maggie has a little growth near her hind leg..so been making tinctures for her to shrink it and it has been doing good....I may bet a Ninja bullet juicer and juice the leaves for her and add coconut oil to it...and pour on her food....

thats it for now...be safe ...
