Hey guys,
So for my first outdoor this year, I think I've done fairly well. Have 5 large plants that are much bigger than expected and are mostly in check. Should be a few 3-4 pounders and maybe a few 2 pounders. One plant (originally most vigorous) is now suffering from what I believe to be severe nitrogen lockout (I fed PLENTY of nitrogen and the whole plant's pretty much yellow, and barely even budding).
The problem is that my plants aren't far along into flower. Most of my plants look like they'll need at least another 8-10 weeks to finish (with the exception of the bottoms on some of the shaded plants, should have colas coming down in 3-4 weeks).
Looking at pictures of everybody else's runs, my plants seem far behind. While people already have stacked colas, the majority of my large plants are just barely stacking their budsites.
The area I'm at right now(Sacramento, daytime highs of 85-90 with night time lows of 50-55) doesn't get it's first frost until December, so on that end I should be fine. However, I'm really worried about October and November rains. Also, the garden gets quite a heavy dew every morning (hasn't started yet, I'd say towards late October you get the dew).
I really want my plants to finish! I dont want to cut down premature buds by the POUND.
What do you people do to keep plants from molding from rain/dew?
My idea is to build a huge frame, drop a tarp over it, seal it somewhat, and run a $100 dehumidifier in it through the nights that it rains or when it starts to dew heavily.
Another idea would be to just drop a tarp over the top. I have a 12" inline fan that I could probably run from the window of the house to the garden (it's maybe 10ft away) at night time to try to keep the humidity lower when there's rain and dew.
