Outdoor 2019 mid Michigan Growtogrow outside

I'm thinking I could fill a cistern easily this spring. Hoping like crazy the weather doesn't keep this up all summer or we'll have nothing but powdery mildew issues. argh
I know. So much rain.
Great looking plants. We had an enormous amount of rain this spring in Texas, and literally the faucet just shut off like it usually does in June. I would not be surprised if we don't get another drop until September.

We average 49" a year and get 95% of it from late September to May. It's a pain in the ass, but at least it's predictable.

Plants outside in April get good temps but will drown. Plants out in Summer have to have water every day to combat 60+ days over 100 deg. Weather in the Arklatex is like southeast Asia and about as overgrown.
I use to live in Texas Austin and Lockhart area. McKinney falls state park out side Austin. I know when it dose rain it can rain like hell in Texas.

So I broke down and got some organic tea and foliar sprays.

I got a 6 pound bag of Boogie Brew Heavy Harvest. To use as a tea and a foliar spray. To start conditioning my soil.
I'm realy excited about using this product. I've read so much about it and seen YouTube videos about it. I think it's going to really help me out with my organic growing and the direction I'm trying to direct myself towards 100% organic outside.

I also was turned on to a product called Optic foliar spray. I order the Optic foliar ATAK concentrate.
Robbie714 turned me on to this product. So after reading about it and watching some vids on it. I thought it mite be something that I can use in my continuing Endeavors to become more organic. [emoji482]

I can't believe I'm looking at more rain in my forecast[emoji52][emoji54][emoji379]Today's sunny and 63° right now supposed to be until noon. The the 6 day forecast has 1-day of sun and the rest is rain. The 12 day forecast shows 3 days total of maybe sun and all the rest are rain with 1 day with the temperature down in the low 60s upper 50s...[emoji13][emoji53] really ...What TF kind of cruel trick is Mother Nature playing on us?? damn just can't catch a break this year. [emoji52]
My crop is half the size it would be if we had decent temperatures and sun. Ugh[emoji295][emoji295][emoji295][emoji295]Think [emoji274]
 
It's been totally crappy I'm hoping it straightens out soon. My autoflowers are taking it worse than my photo plants for sure.
 
I know I know I keep saying I'm starting the light depth...
I just want these plants to be bigger before I start tarping.
Without the sun and warmer temps... just everything is growing so slow.
It just got to 60°a few minutes ago. It's almost night fall. Forecast the next 3 day's rain n thunderstorm[emoji52]
The food farmer around here are in a jam for real. Crops in late and the sun comes out and drys the soil so hard that the seeds can not get throu[emoji52]

Bad year for all of us[emoji120][emoji111]

Pics are today in between hard rains while it was just sprinkling

Plants are looking good for such shitty weather mate :thumbsup:. Not to rub it in or anything but it's 25c days and nothing but sunshine in the great southern land(not bad for winter):haha:.....hoping you can catch a break and get a good bit of sun and warmth before flowering bud!! :cheers:
 
GTG, mate the girls are looking great, i was looking back a few pages and saw your night tarp you have much like my set up for the girls. I am trying some dinafem seeds for grow 3, i see you have some. Its very dry here, but that's about this time of year, without much rain, but May was something here, seems you had a bad May also.
 
This weather is just wrong on so many levels. It hailed this afternoon, and hasn't really stopped raining all day. I actually fired up the woodstove this afternoon just to get dry and warm. Nothing going right in the gardening this year. You're right, half the fields around here haven't even been planted yet. I was thinking it's a three-hay type summer but even if they cut it they're never going to get it dry. I'm seriously worried about powdery mildew at this point. eeeeeeesh
