Out of 41 days since the tunnel went up it has rained 34 of them.
The plants are thriving, even with clouds the 20+ hours of daylight feed the plants adequately. Last summer's weather was quite similar and the harvest was zero with many plants not reaching a foot tall. Marijuana does not grow well when waterlogged. The first two photos are of an auto Euforia. The indoor record is 49" with 107 grams of dry bud. Last year's outdoor was just over a foot high with no buds large enough to fill a bowl. This year's looks to at least match the indoor. I have past experience with the Euforia so it acts as my control. And having it in the tomato cage gives perspective on growth. So far I am a happy gardener. |

this is an interesting grow to me because of your location and good photos.
i would try to keep the hoop tarps on whenever you know it's going to rain....wonder if that would make a difference? |

The hoop tunnel is all auto flowers, too weak to hold up a tarp system.
Not to waste the midnight sun I do have a 7' by 7' shed with a roll up tarp. It has three plants this year and they began life inside last February/March then moved to the shed in May. Very low budget, the plants are manually pushed in and out of the shed and the tarp is rolled up by hand and tied there. The results are OK, during rainstorms the plants are pushed 3/4 back into the shed. This is interior Alaska, within 100 miles of the Arctic Circle and not suitable for outdoor cultivation of marijuana plants. |

I'm into the conduit! I use conduit for everything! My greenhouses are made of top rail though bent with jig. We get some crazy wind and i wouldn't trust connectors with tek screws in the center. I think I'm going to put conduit rows inside my greenhouse though.

Independence Day was all foggy and wet just like the rest of the summer.
A shot of the shed plants. They are budding fairly well, even the one (foreground) with the huge leaf mass from the 24/0 Far Red, although bud rot is starting to show in the centers. The two rear plants (closeup of bud) have less dense buds and have no sign of bud rot. Far Red is used outside in the shed for a half hour overlap with putting down the tarp. It is not absolutely light tight and the Far Red seems to help with bud density. Although with so many variables it is hard to say for sure but 26 watts of LED costs nothing to use. The Super Autos in the tunnel are showing about two white pistol hairs per top cola at 62 days. The race against cold weather is going to be a close finish. The season is over at the end of August. Am really counting on a 110 day harvest with these plants. So far they are larger than any other of the autos I have tried, which is about 15 strains. Auto Euforia from Dutch Passion is a close second in size to these from Flash Seeds. Two seeds gave me runts. The last two photos are of 62 day old plants put in containers the same day as the others. These two never broke four inches tall and are putting a bud on top about the size and shape of Clover. Odd result. |

that "runt' is the smallest finished plant i have ever seen. Either way keep up the good work. When does the growing season end up where you're at?
