WTF....Is ANYONE on the mid-atlantic getting a decent harvest this year?

[warthog]

It was a bad blight year here for tomatoes. The indica's I had out and the Female Seeds Purple Maroc got hit pretty hard by blight.

damn really? my PM's were very resistant to all diseases.. and it barely got mould.. no mildew. great fruity indica smoke too..and a heavy yield. just curious when did yours finish? ive seen some late september finishers which is bizzare considering mine finished in august

things arent going so well here on the west coast either....alot of folks i know are chopping early due to pest or weather problems. theres also rain on the forecast in mendo and humbolt next week and i know alot of guys are gonna be chopping mid october strains very soon........

I have noticed prices in the midwest, as high as they usually are, aren't receiving the massive outdoor flood, yet, that is usually expected at this time. Prices seem to be creeping upwards, which is fine by me, but I would love to get some quality over flow that ends up making its way out east. Very little if anything can compare to yields of the outdoor even if half of it is molding out. Once the sensible farmers out here realize how much can be made it'll be curtains for the indoor industry, no one can compete with thousands of acres, per farmer, per year.

ya, seems to be happening to all of us. i usually bag about 5-10 lbs every fall, even with fucking rippers and shit. last year they found my main spot, 20 1/2pounders, and proceeded to relieve me of all the tops, 10-20 baseball-bat sized colas per plant. i still pulled in 4 lb from what they left me, they must have got 7-8 lbs off me. i will not be using that spot again.

planted light this year, had a few setbacks early on in the season, but i still should pull in 2-3 lbs. i wasnt trying to hard this year, was still pissed about getting jacked last season.

i will be hitting it hard next spring, will have the space to veg out 80 or so plants indoors to 2-3 ft before putting them outside on june 1st.

I'm in the north east & my SD went to shit, but the bubba kush is going strong with NO mold at all..we are due for a drying trend in a few days, so hang tight if you can...peace

Damm

Damm

Are greenhouses having the same trouble or are they not used . I feel for you guys . And to think i was complaining about having to shake my plants today the first light rain of the season . Good luck and hash and all that bad .

 

[mrheadie]

whast up guys. just thought i'd chime in for the ec. i didnt do anything myself do to a spring surgerey, but did give a buddy 10 clones to put out. those got chopped by the farmer brushing a field he's hasnt worked in over 10 years, but thats our luck. i also have been giving cuts of every strain i've had/gotten over the last few years to a buddy and he normally just runs the blue haze i got about 10 years ago. he called me this weekend to come check on a few (or so i thought a few) and the blue hazes were done, and the couple other moms he has out need 3 weeks or so (put all the strains i gave him last year out; nebula, skunk1, cali kush, barneys lsd, biesel, master kush). i told him the bh were done and he then proceeds to tell me theirs another 55 clones! wtf, wasnt plannign on trimming all weekend, but they take care of me well. their were quite a few with blight and some rot and mould, but they should do ok. still allot of fanning to do and i'm sure their will be more rot and mould, but not to bad considering the weather this season.

 

[NickMode]

My plots got hammered by all the rain and everything. one plot of 10 plants got c ompletely destroyed by floods and mold. My other plot is doing ok. There is some mold, but i havent checked on this in almost 2 weeks. We'll see how they are looking. This season i will be happy to get a few ounces. I normally would harvest 2 lb's

 

[star crash]

anything that makes it thru and finish's this season should & will be run next year

I just lifted this from accuweather this morning ... good news

"Despite the latest round of rain, a major pattern change is on the way next week.

The stubborn low will shift into Nova Scotia by next Wednesday as an expansive high pressure system settles into the region in wake of the storm.

The high pressure system will bring widespread sunshine for the latter half of next week. Early indications point to dry weather that could last into the middle of October for many across the Northeast.

"Beautiful fall weather will rule the Northeast by next weekend," said Senior Meteorologist Rob Miller."

well, this is coming a little late for me, and many others also i am sure.

Had 2-3 plants left that I was hoping would make it till the end of october, than we had yet more rain this past week most of it in the form of torrential downpours.

friday I went to check on my remaining plants and this latest round of rain coupled with blight pretty much decimated them. all the fan leaves were stripped off leaving moldy immature buds.

All told I started with 10-12 plants. Best case scenario i told myself 5-6 pounds, worst case 2-3 pounds. At the start of this season I never would have guessed I would have ended up with 3 ounces of immature buds and a shit ton of material to make into hash....

Gotta look on the bright side though, my spot is still intact which means I can use it next year, and I will have a shit ton of hash and oil which will pay for the soil, nutes and other things I had to buy this year in addition to a larger set of bubble bags.

What areas of the country are affected by blight?

 

[NickMode]

haha damn im in the same boat bro...luckily i grow a decent amount of sativas that people say i cant finish here but always do...so i still have some with 5+ weeks to go that arent affected at all by mold and are choogling right along (chimeras highland mex. x blueberry FTW yea yeaaaa)...all i gotta worry about is snow but i think i got this...heres hoping the rain stops for everyone

 

[AGrow]

Boulder, Colorado here. My plants are pest and mold free, a few of them reaching 8 feet in height with an estimated 3 lbs each. They are still about 2-3 weeks from finishing. The only thing I've suffered from this year is that they did flower late (some more than others), and there was a pretty bad car accident right behind my fence bringing police within feet of my grow op. Amazingly, they seemed to have been preoccupied. I'll show the accident in a thread as soon as I know I'm safe

The blight didn't do much harm to my sativas. I had a couple of indicas lose all their fan leaves and spotted the pin leaves on the buds.

 

[DuskrayTroubador]

Is the whole country affected by blight? Or is it only a middle states thing?

Lets take it to the limit bros...
