get ready for big!Looking at gtg's outdoor setup I'm thinking of repurposing my old chicken and pheasant pens. Eight feet tall, surrounded on all sides and top by flight netting. Shouldn't read these great posts, gets me thinking, and that's dangerous.
I took the UV clear cover off 4 days ago. So their exposed to the elements now. I would have to realize severe weather was coming to have time enough to put the damn thing back up cuz it would take me a little bit to get that one up and tied down.
But when I start doing the blackout tarp that will be ready available for cover in about 12 minuts. It's kind of easy now that I've ran it a good many time in the past.
But you wait... I'm going to get this set up yet... Going to get the auto tarping motors thats $210 and the timer it's pretty easy to make yourself. But to buy it it's about 300 bucks. But when I set up next year I'll have it automated tarping I am not going to be married to it next year it's just going to be easy...but right now I got to go out there every day and pull that tarp up and take the tarp downbut this whole injury thing has hose'd me and everything I wanted to do this year. but next year I'm going to do it to it...I want to buy this shit this fall and then have it ready to go next spring.
Then it'll be easy Street. Then all I'll have to do is just make sure it all works and feed maintain the plants

I've got excellent weather now. Aug is the wettest month, pm can cover the brush and the sedges in the yard. And of course bud rot is ever present in the fall. My best strategies so far have been to allow lots of room between maturing plants, defol and keep bottom of plants wide open. Easy to visually inspect, catch the bad guys as soon as they rear their ugly heads.
your green view puta smile on meWell the girls loved the sun yesterday.
But this morning right back to the same old shit weather.
Thunder storm and rainBlaa Blaa Blaa. Well at lest it's warm and not cold
Plan on starting the tarping Sunday. But the weather may hold it up a day or two??
Sunny picsthink good weather
auto tarping, way cool. I always compare the night tarp to milking, 2 times a day you have got to be on time! Now you'll have a milking machineI took the UV clear cover off 4 days ago.

when ya think about, plants mature in moon light, real bright on full moonYeah fade just take it easy man That light pole looks like it's quite a ways away.... it looks like you're going to be all right. I don't think you're going to have too much to worry about it takes quite a few light looms to bother a plant. But some people think it's just a pin light...but really it's not... I've never had that kind of problem in my experience anyways not that I can blame it on anything but stupid mistakes like my timer went out one time and it was out for quite a few days before I realized it and those lights were on full power... not just a little teeny weeny star light off in the distance. And I got all kinds of seeds out of that bags and bags of them. And you know the weeds not bad after you get seeds in it there's always some old-timer don't mind buying that kind weed LoL. Their used to getting some seeds in their weed anybody over 45 LOL
dang!I can't believe I'm looking at more rain in my forecastToday'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...really ...What TF kind of cruel trick is Mother Nature playing on us?? damn just can't catch a break this year.
My crop is half the size it would be if we had decent temperatures and sun. UghThink
