The only weather that concerns me is the fall weather that claimed all my AMS to mold last season.
This summer has been hot and dry, but my watering has kept up. I wish I had realized this early spring in the NE sooner, or else my clones would have been bigger and better spaced. If anything the good weather surprised me so much I planted too close together. Just means more plants to work with. whaaaaaaa

weather minus the rain so far! 
Into a more normal summer program, up to two days ago. Persistent Marine Layer until 11am or so. Some mornings misty.. DOH>..!
Light Dep almost finished, heater in there at night to keep humidity lower... Pretty soggy ceiling to the hoophouse each morning...
Calyxes exploding now, amazingly free of problems. Beautiful purpling on the Grape Romulans, and a touch on the Chiesels and Blue Cheeses.. Chiesels exhibiting lovely red/yellow leaves to finish.. Gonna make some fine Full-melt..!
All great even with the nightly condensation, Powdery Mildew was kept at bay rather well with Safer Garden Fungicide 25ml/g + Coco-wet.. Every 9-10 days, up til week 5 and even then only on the leaves...
Only issue is that the 4 Dang Casey Jones that are 2 weeks behind the rest are gonna have to go out into regular sun to finish. Will be 14 hours of sun by then.. Hmmm, how's that gonna work >? We'll see.. I am hoping they will finish normally.
Enuf "Pulling Plastic" for now.. I need that hoophouse space anyways.
Now we have a few days of sun all day again. Nice.
Full season Greenie mostly all are in "Transition" phase. Well into their "Stretch."
Aug and Sept weather is a crapshoot so close to the Pacific. Regular Marine Layer more common of late... But I shall persevere.
Next Year, I promise myself that I will be at least 4 miles inland.

It's been a hideous and discouraging season here. Have been hit with a considerable drought, had more less 100 degree temps throughout most of June and July. I started with 90 and am down to 18. Of those 18, only 4 have actually grown. I've carried so many buckets of water this year, I'm considering power lifting as my new hobby.
For others experiencing the same thing...I'll vouch for a strain called ''Blue Venom.'' It has been a beast and seems unaffected by heat or drought. I can't say enough good things about how resilient it is.

every year is a good year thanks to reading Julian's OD thread.
$50 in water crystals is all it takes to take rainfall and heat out of the equation.
no problems in the northeast, even with record temps.
its all about getting a nice, deep hole, so you dont rely on rain for the plants water

i hand-watered 85 1/4pounders a few years ago. 10 gallon grow bags in the forest. never again. now i just use a Stihl auger with a 8" bit and drill as deep as the auger will let me. backfill about 1/3 and throw in all organic soil mix. i check the plants once a week, and they are growing beautifully.......

try sticky rat traps for coons or any small animal, will not kill, but they will lose some fur or skin getting them off. ps. they are very smart, will not come back

We're fuckin dying here man. Its always so damn hot. 104 today with rel. humidity at 70% and you cant hardly breath. Just walking out the door and to the car and your shirt is soaked and your underwear wet.
And its been like this for what seems 2months with little rain. We had a cold streak last week: It stayed in the mid 90's with 60% humidty. It felt like spring. There's a hot ass wind that goes with it that blows all the time, even at night when the temps dip to a chilling 80.
My plants are watered well but in the heat of the day they droop and the leaves seem to just hang. Not just the cannabis, tomato's and the flowers in the yard droop and seem to be suffering from the heat. The sycamore trees have shed their leaves as if it were fall. I need to rake my fukin yard!!!!
If you know any rain dances or have a special connection with any diety's, please get to dancing.

I have lots of family in San Diego, beautiful area. Not sure I would say it is the BEST for growing, but way up there for sure.

It's been very dry with temps above 100 many times. Wild fires got all my plants except for one. Thanks to the fire plow. It also missed one of my plots by 20 or 30 feet, but the heat from the fire still killed them. I am in the south and we don't have wildfires till this year!
^^^ That sucks Farmer jones, My thoughts go out to the fire victims everywhere. Really smokey in Upper Norcal and folks outside of Redding are being evacuated and stuff is burning for sure. Sad.NS
Yea one of my cousins cant get to there 99 plant crop to water because the area is shut down that sucks they had a lot invested and were doin it right this year. Personally i woulda just hiked the 20 miles instead regardless. No person is stopping me from gettin on my property without some cuffs and a carbine. A slight glimpse of the Kimber always helps 
Any Nor Cal ( Butte, Sutter, Yuba, Colusa) guys got the scoop on the rain this year? Will all this heat and a nice growing year allow a nice full harvest or do you think we are going to be repaid in the flowering season since we had such a nice veg (hope not lol)
