MI 4,000sq ft outdoor grow SHO

[turbo14]

Is there a farm and ranch store around? Horse fencing works awesome on 100s. You could do all plants in an hour.

I think I'm too late for it. I should have did that almost as soon as they went in, I think now it'd be a little hard to add it to the holes. Next year I'm definitely rocking the remesh, little bigger squares but same idea. Maybe I'll stop at the concrete place tomorrow on the way and see about a few rolls. The only cheap stuff is the 2x4 squares here

Anyone got a Twister T4? Looking at buying one rather quickly, just want some feedback other than their promo videos

 

[MIway]

I've got a twister T2 for lowers and backup. Don't send those beautiful tops though a twister. Find some quality trimmers. I've got a crew of 7-8 that can do 50-60 units every 2 days. Dry trim. It can be done.

I'll have 6 people in including myself, I think, as long as they pull their own. Thinking of slamming a little pole building together this week for trim and dry. Starting to get close on a few, the majority will be ready mid October I'm guessing

Are you planning on wet trimming the hanging? or Dry trim? Dry trimming FTW.

Is this big leaf, debone, and trim? If so I'm impressed 8 a day apiece is amazing.

That is not big leafed, but dried as whole plant.

Each person usually does 4-5 per day. Usually finish up around halfway through the 3rd day. I should have said 3 days total

Was planning wet trim dry on racks. I'm not a big fan of dry trimming, frankly I hate it and seems a lot more damaging to the T than wet and slower more meticulous work. Maybe I'm wrong thoug because I always wet trim. We have mold problems here in the fall, humid cool days and nits (frost advisory tonight).

I wish I was working to get more pics up, they're mostly 6.5 foot with a half dozen or so hitting 7-8 feet and a single 9.5 footer (minus 20" for container height). I was worried these 100 gal bags wouldn't support the plant mass for multi pounders but it looks like I'll be wrong. The stem systems are massive and I get a ton of airflow without any hard winds blowing through by being 20" above ground. They get a breeze but definitely not any wind.

Mites are hitting a few plants hard even after a 7500 ladybug release. They're getting washed sometime this week.

Overall things are going well, camper is parked and sleepless nights are only a few days away.

Been a few days boys... Girls are looking stellar and I'm starting to pack up for an extended vacation in the camper. Deer season is a week away too, So I'll at least have something to kill some time.

Found white mold on a single branch and black mold affecting 3 small buds on a different plant. The weather has been humid and cold so that explains it. Trying actionovate? To prevent spread and starting to hit a few of the girls with avalanche and Mendocino honey. Lots of colors starting to show with last weeks cold, this week is gorgeous thus far.

I'm on edge and things were almost going too well to not have any problems this time of year.

Good luck hunting. I'm counting down the days. Problem is I have a huge build going on harvest coming up and deer season kicking off. Time to figure out the priorities lol

Are you brewing any compost teas? If you're going to spray activonate then add it a fungal dominant (no molasses) compost tea.
Fish hydroslate, humics, and kelp. You're not lookin to make a beneficial bacteria tea, but a fungal dominant tea. One that attacks disease and pathogens.

The fungal strain in activonate will populate and work a ton better if you brew it for 24 hours.

I have found that this works the best if using activonate. Good luck bud!

subbed fa sho!

Hey turbo, really nice info. Are you able to point me in the right direction as far as a recipe for a beneficial bacterial tea? Im assuming the Fish hydroslate, humics, and kelp with the activonate is a fungal dominant tea.

Do you mind elaborating on the two types further?

 

[LyryC]

yo sho you got some great help in here!

Will give it a try, this morning we had fog so humidity was high last night and I should see some signs of new botrytis. Heading there now, will snap some pics too.

Thanks Turbo

 

[catalyte]

i mean to mention: with Botrytis sterilize the scissors you touch it with between uses as not to spread any .
