Damn Conrad! You're going to love that Bubba Hash. Yours is starting to look a lot like mine did. I hear ya on the branching. I'm topping the shit out of the clone hoping for better yield.

It's a very nice plant and topping could definitely help with these shortcomings. I'm gonna go full season with rest of the beans next year if smoke is any good. Meanwhile I tried to germinate BlueBerry and White Widow freebies from Seedsman, but these are bum seeds. WW grew very slowly and was too delicate to survive. BB was fine until first rain after which she withered completely and second WW had problems breaking the ground. Waste of time. I've put Amnesia OG in the ground and started soaking Dutch Kush.

We have been under flood warnings all spring and summer. The river I drove by today was over it's banks at least flood stage +3'. Together with an early spring, my roma tomato are huge this year - 10cm / 4" before the first one started to show color. This is my first year here - so maybe this is all normal.

im glad somebody is getting tomatoes it's not just affecting the maters my bell peppers are not enjoying all this heat there not doing well either,but i have two kinds of watermelons going and they are loving all this heat they like it there's 8 on one and 6 on the other i usually get 2-3, so thats how it is with this climate change some plants and animal species some are going to thrive while others are are not. i have seen those chocolate habeneros i have thought about growing them what are they like i have grown the red or orange ones i make a habenero jelly thats really good with cream cheese on a cracker,i grew a ghost pepper last year just to see if i could it got 4 peppers on it they are narly scary looking you dont use much of it there HOT,well you have a good day!

Here the opposite is true, water levels in the rivers have dropped down to unprecedented level and only coming fall/winter may put it in order.

Tomatoes or at least Italian varieties are well accustomed to heat, most of the hybrids actually won't grow well with temps below 80F providing they get occasional showers. Most of the spicy peppers I grew here turned out fine and spicy. I grew jalapenos that I still have in the freezer, I also grew Cerasella di Calabria and common red peperoncino and they all came out great.

A morning shot of a UltraDog grown outdoors in a 2L hempy pot (drain-to-waste passive hydro) as she moves into mid-bloom. She's on an Osmocote+ and plain/rain water diet.

A touch of heat damage and a bit of a lean she got during a wind storm.... but I sure am diggin her.
Outdoor plants are rare for me, and it's been extra fun doing a hydro outdoor.

Hey man, very pretty! I didn't stop there, but we made sure to see Mono Lake, which is relatively near. I really liked this part of Cali, quite rural and very peaceful

Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

Oh yeah but if you bring down temp indoor to mid 60s, then you have a hell lotta fun trying to catch up when walking outside. I think it was mostly how it was used. We use fans at home when shit gets scorching, but still you cannot use them 24 hrs a day if you wanna keep your health. I actually got bronchitis out of it, just not used to I guess. It's a problem of office workers in Italy though, people blasted by concentrated hot air when they finish their 8 hrs Never been to Oregon, but it looks amazing in some places... hmm in Mediterranean temps do not differ a lot day to night during summer, which hit me in Cali where we went through November evenings in SF Otherwise very nice city although some parts have been polished in a rather tacky way. I'd like another run at it though from SF northbound to southern Oregon. My wife almost pulled me into trip to Florida, but I wasn't convinced... maybe NY is a better idea for the next trip. We'll see

Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

Start in Or, swing down to Cali and hit SF. Head East to Salt Lake City... your jaw will drop. Continue East to Denver and enjoy. Then head SouthEast and hit NOLA... plan to spend a day or three and don't eat for a week before you get here. Then continue East and hang out on the Florida panhandle and play in the sugar sand and the bath water. Continue a bit north and do some history in Atlanta. Head up to DC and do some Smithsonians. Continue to NY and again stuff your faces. Maybe continue up to Boston... they have really good food too. Work like a dog for the rest of your life to pay for such a tour.

Well, I hate to ruin your perspective, but in western Oregon this week its gonna be in the 100s. In eastern Oregon its in the 100s in summer very often. Not quite SoCal heat, where I ran the A/C from March to October, but still hot. In May it was so wet here we thought that it would rain all summer. The Colombia River was flooding and so were a lot of rivers here. But that did not last. No rain here since mid June now. River levels are back to normal. Te snowpack has all melted. Also we have lots of ICE STORMS in the winter here, and this past year it SNOWED A LOT in the state. Like most of January and February. Eugene is still recovering from a huge ice storm this year which took out the power grid there, and 3 years ago in Eugene it got down to -10 F. So you have to deal with a lot of weather extremes here. And "all the hellish greenery," as Ken Kesey put it.

Also water is not that cheap or always available here in Oregon. Bull run water in the Portland metro area is INSANELY expensive. Also by Oregon law, water rights are not the same as in California. With the exception of the Portland Metro area Bull Run Watershed, in Oregon, all water belongs to the state, be it ground water, well water, river water, rain runoff, snowpack, glacier, or a lake or pond. It is yours to use only by water right or exemption. Now that said, I have all the bloody water that I need here. I can irrigate 1/2 acre of my property, I can use all the water I want in my house, and I can use up to 5,000 gallons a day for commercial use. That is from one permitted well. All I pay here is the electric bill for the well pump, which is about $10 a month, tops. So I can afford to have my bamboo and Japanese maple plant nursery here. In Portland the cost of water for a nursery would make it prohibitive. Also before I bought this property, I looked at land all around this state, and I did not find many places with good wells. Many places had low volume wells or community wells. Even in the western parts of the state. Otherwise I would have a large vineyard in southern Oregon now.

Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

In the western US, we get cooler nights at least. And the humidity is usually low. Not like Texas or Florida, where it is often times 90/90 at midnight! You are forced to run A/C all the time there, 24/7. A/C was actually responsible for the migration from the northern US to the South after it was invented. Life became tolerable. I do not have A/C here. I open the windows at night and we get down to the 50s and 60s at night, and the house gets down to the mid 60s. Then I shut all the windows in the morning and when it gets up to the mid 80s like today, it gets up to the low 70s inside. When it gets to 100s outside here, which is rare in the Cascade foothills, it gets into the low 80s inside. But it always cools off at night here, and I open the windows and run the fans, and it is very tolerable. Except if there is a wildfire nearby and there is smoke, then I suffer. In winter I heat my place with firewood in an efficient stove. I have 8 cords stacked and seasoning outside now. Western Oregon and Washington actually have some of the greatest extremes in day and night temperatures. Cooler day and night temps actually keep my MJ plants smaller here than where my brother grows the same strains of MJ in the Tualatin Valley. He gets about 50% more growth from 5 F. degrees warmer day and night temps than I get.

Re: Conradino23's Another Outdoor Grow With High Brix Soil - Air-Pots & SoCal Seed St

Drive by... Had to ask who told ya Bull Run water was costy? My water bill is only 40 a month... And man do I go thru water................. I can't even count the gallons we are going to use this week or every week for that matter... Them 100 plus days will evaporate 5-6 inches of the pool. I'll run the garden hose in the pool for close to an hour a day. I'll have to see later this week with them temps. how much it takes. Not counting the water I use on plants, lawn, and regular pool maintaince vacuming and back flushing on the back 40. It was around 35-40 bucks last time we refilled the pool. Another great thing is the water quaility. Last PPM I checked on tap was under 20. Good drinking water, but bad thing,, no calicium.. Now I'd hate to live a mile or two west of here, I'm in Gresham District, there is Portland City water.... Abit more costy there!!!! But it sure is going to be HOT..... I'll have to use survial lights in the flower room more than likely.
Hope all going well over there my friend.. Them UD's are loving life. I'm going to have to get them ready for this extra heat we got coming. It is going to get hot,, and ever since I broke my neck,, I don't do hot well.. So I'm guilty of running the A/C more than I should.. But I kind of like to be confrotable in my older age..... JK kind of.
