• Last night we got 6 inches of rain. I put my ladies on the porch to keep them dry but, they got pretty wet. I’m ending the 3rd week of flower. Are they wet too late in flower. I don’t want bud rot. The rain ended and wind picked up, so will they be able to dry? Buds are the size of a marble at this stage. Humidity will be high today. It’s going…

    • Should be good. Buds aren’t dense enough yet

      • Let it ride! They will be fine.

        • You’re fine. Just keep a look out for bud rot. I usually look for a dying leaf that protrudes from the bud, then inspect the bud for rot. If you see it cut it out. Good luck

          • We just got a gnarly monsoon the other day that dumped over an inch in a few hours, so I took my leaf blower to them in the am at sunrise.

          • Flowers starting to develop. I’ve been using roots organic terp tea bloom 3-7-4. How often should I top dress with this? Currently in week 3 of flower.

            • Not sure your location but Ive Never used that nute so cant comment on it specifically, but my outside grow I top dress every other watering/ day. Sometimes every 3rd day. I just scratch a couple tablespoons in prior to watering. (Im watering 2.5-3 gallons) every day in 15 gallon pots. I also dont transition from veg nutes to bloom nutes until…

            • What’s the benefits and issues with outdoor growing? I don’t see many people doing it. I live in Oklahoma. Ot just makes sense to use free lights (sunlight which is better than anything you can buy). I’m doing all the things I’d do indoors, I’m just outside. My plants seem to be happy. Judge for yourself.

              • Fully agreed when you have tolerant neighbors, no light pollution and a secure place that gets enough sun, outdoor is awesome. Allows for HUGE returns when you commit. Pests and unpredictable weather would be the only real downsides that I can think of, but I’ve only done a few outdoor runs.

                • A lot of benefits from outdoors that’s true but some folks don’t have a proper place to grow outside , I live in between two city parks in my instance, humidity would be a problem in this area outside we also to this day have industrial hemp growing wild everywhere from WWII

                  • Pest and climate can make some years better than others, but in exchange the cost of growing is much less and potencial quantities much more, so even with the ups and downs over the years, you get more bud outdoors and with indoor you get more consistency/potency

                    • Yeah the aphids are a little rough this year. We’ve had hail a couple times as well but my beach umbrella saved the grow.

                      • Well the only real drawback I know of really is you only have the possibility of 2 harvests a year and you have to time that just right . You can hit it as the light is transitioning to longer days in early spring if you have pre grown indoors, and then toward the end of fall. You absolutely will get large plants outdoors but as said before…

                        If you can SOG the older plants and just flip the new plants early

                      • In my outdoor grow how far into flower do you need to keep them dry so they don’t get bud rot? Currently second week of flower.

                        • I had a couple autos outside at the beginning of summer. I kept them covered. Did not let anything but the soil get wet when flowering started. Humidity was 80 plus last couple of weeks. They were not dense but not too skimpy either. I had no rot. That’s just what I did. Not 💯 percent it was right to keep the leaves that dry and no foliar feeding.

                          • Keep them dry all the way through flower. Bud rot attacks at the finish line. Never spray anything on a flowering plant and keep humidity under 60% RH.
