Afternoon my fellow growers and tokers.

A little about myself...

I'm an outdoor/soil hobbiest that lives in a northern climate. When winter shows her chilling face I retreat to the Dungeon for the LED's. My garden soil (amended native) follows me down there.

Outdoors I typically grow 2 large photos and three autos. Indoors I grow one photo at a time.

I've been in the closet since the late 80's, but since my state legalized homegrow a few years ago it's time to shine! No more carbon filters or small plants behind the corn. Time to stink up the neighborhood with some trees.

I look forward to seeing what you guys and gals are up to and sharing some of my journey.

Green love

those are some nice flowers

we grow outdoors at 37 degrees latitude

I am thinking you are farther north and probably need something that finishes before Oct 1?…

I'm @43 degrees and can make it until the end of October most years. My plants endure some light frost and snow on occasion and it's always a gamble those last couple of weeks. I'd estimate 5 out of 6 years I get a lightly ambered finish.

Indicas and indica dominant hybrids certainly are my friends here and sativas are grown only in the dungeon.

This year I actually took some damage from an unusual week of 90f in late flower. I lost about 30% of the harvest to budrot on the tall one, including my main cola.

After years of growing outdoors up here I anticipate loosing 30% to br, pm, and rust. This leaves more then enough, as I only grow for my wife, self, and a few other family members.

I'm a firm believer that planting directly in the ground vs a pot gives me the extra protection I need to make it through the cold snaps.

Cheers
