2026 outdoor grow

Been cool and cloudy last few days.:sun_behind_cloud::high_voltage::umbrella_with_rain_drops: Stormy right now.
The girls have their rain hats on, except for the Ghost :ghost:, she too tall now.

Monday, the 8th of June.
Still raining, gloomy, flash flood warnings, more rain all week.
Beginning to think this years “big outdoor grow” is going to be a lackluster year..
Going to start to focus on the grow room. Need to get it ready, and soon!
I would like to have it up and running by next month.
We’ll see​:speak_no_evil_monkey::hear_no_evil_monkey::see_no_evil_monkey:. Got lots to do.
Put a heavy coat of sealer on the floor last night.
Need to rebuild the back wall, run some more electrical stuff, plumbing, drains, ughh

That was one of my main reasons for running indoor and outdoor grows simultaneously.

Yeah man, thinking after we get this all back together and working, the outdoor plants will be a novelty item, instead of a dependent.

Rain rain and more rain :umbrella_with_rain_drops::umbrella_with_rain_drops::umbrella_with_rain_drops:,
Then, it just kinda stopped, again :roll_eyes::sun_behind_cloud::rainbow:.
So we got about 4 hours of good sun today and the movie stars showed up :star_struck::star_struck::herb:

They’re doing okay :ok_hand:, something has been nibbling on a couple of the leaves. Gave them a mist of the bug stuff. Will keep an eye out, I didn’t :see_no_evil_monkey: see anything on it. So it must be some sort of flying thing.

The autos have been beaten up pretty good :confused::confused: still alive :astonished_face:
And all looking like they may just do something.:lying_face:. The grape ape that started so strong is struggling big time.
She took the worst of the punishment. So I’m not surprised.
The girl scouts have organized and are currently in the lead​:people_with_bunny_ears::people_with_bunny_ears:, but the new threat seems to be the banana Purple Punch :oncoming_fist:, from out of nowhere, is suddenly a contender.

We’ll check back after 2 days without rain, and see if we can see any measurable growth. :see_no_evil_monkey::hear_no_evil_monkey::speak_no_evil_monkey::pine_decoration::pine_decoration::pine_decoration:

After the rain, the sun comes out again, I hope that happens for both of you. Things aren’t looking good on our end, either

Gained a little bit today.
Added 3 of the 4 electric outlet boxes in the grow room, the 4 goes on the back wall which will be installed in,:thinking::thinking::thinking:,:thinking::thinking::person_shrugging:later.
The main circuit box is mounted and the main power is connected.:high_voltage::high_voltage::high_voltage::light_bulb:.
Just need to run the wire, connect it, and throw the switch :radio_button:

Wednesday the 10th already, into the 2nd week of June.
The photos had decent mix of sun and clouds, about the same today. Only a small chance of rain early tomorrow and sun rest of the day :sun_with_face::sun_with_face::grinning_face:
The girls are responding well and if we can just get a few weeks, will be getting somewhere :+1:

The pestilence has been identified as the Japanese beatle, nasty lil suckers, haven’t noticed anything new, but I misted them again with bug b gone anyway, just as a warning.
The Autos :roll_eyes::roll_eyes::thinking::face_with_raised_eyebrow:
They sucking. Plain and simple.
Through a series of unfortunate events and horrible weather, we missed the crucial veg stage of growth.
Severely hindered, some barely holding on, they still trying.
The girl scout cookies and banana Purple Punch have a chance to make an oz if nothing else happens to them. The grape ape and northern lights are pretty much done.
Once we get the grow room back together, we’ll have new girls going in no time.:+1:

Made some progress on the electric supply. Got the original 2 lines hooked back up, so there’s power in the grow room again!! With the power off, it’s very dark, and hot as hot gets, my temp reader said 102
Yes that’s right, the entire grow room was running of two lines.
That’s a few two many things to be plugged into just 2 outlets.
So in addition to the original 2, we will be adding 2 more. Help better spread out the load.


And finally, the sweet corn is growing great :+1:

It’s always a shame when autos start flowering too early due to external factors​:upside_down_face:

One of the down side to autos.
That veg week is crucial, and we missed it. We’ve got enough summer left to restart them. Be finishing in September. It should work out on the calendar. Gonna wait and watch them over this next week, make a decision just as soon as I get some seeds out​:thinking::thinking::smiling_face_with_sunglasses::grin:
Down, but never out​:+1::speak_no_evil_monkey::hear_no_evil_monkey::see_no_evil_monkey:

Flash update
Auto destruction has been initiated!!
Due to the foreseeable auto failure, it’s time to reload :clockwise_vertical_arrows:
After careful consideration, it was determined to re-start the autos.


Last minute change on the Northern lights, swapped out for zittles.
Into the can they go

Heating pad running at 90.
I’ll bet anyone out there they’ll be ready to plant in 24 hours.:+1::winking_face_with_tongue:
It’s 11 cst, will see tomorrow at noon :twelve_o_clock:
