â?¹â??â?¹â??â?¹â??Nasty East Coast Weatherâ?¹â??â?¹â??â?¹â??

Any one else finding this weather crazy? A few of the bushes branches' got water logged but able to tie 'em back. Peace in the East


:wtf:

Hopefully the next 6wks will have less rain, lower humidity. Other wise we'll all have moldy rotten buds. Ugh!

Agreed, this is what I woke up to this

All good,



Peace

totally agree, the weather here in the far east coast of canada is crazy, rain rain rain, no place to dry that isnt damp damp damp any ideas people

Pretty ladies! You need some dryer weather quick! I live in Md. near the head of the chesapeake bay. Even when it's not raining, the humidity is high enough to cause mold growth. I understand it's been the same for the entire eastern seaboard. Durning the first round of constant rain, even my tomatoes turned yellow & died from over watering. They were in the ground. I had 14 ladies in 3 gallon nursery pots, lots of loose organics & sand in my growing mix, well drained & doing great (still in veg.) but they were stolen about 5or6 wks ago. Thats the 6th yr in a row, so I guess the mold will be someone else's problem. After a rain, go out & gently shake off as much water as you can. If you still end up getting mold/fungus, you may have to treat with a fungicide. I don't advocate smoking these chemicals, so if you're forced to use them, rinse them well just before harvest (hopefully on a dry sunny day if we ever have one), shake off the water & harvest once dry. I love growing outdoors organically, but on the east coast, we are a slave to the weather. It can be so different from one summer to the next it's almost like moving to a different state. I can't wait till it's legal & I can grow in a greenhouse!

I guess everyone on the east coast will have to create indoor drying space. I live alone, so I can wreck my house to creat space if I see fit, no one around to bitch about clothes line stretched across a room with buds hanging from it. It's been WAY too hot to run a heater & fan in the drying room, so you'll almost certainly need a/c to keep humidity down, but even with a/c, you'll still need an oscillating fan. Round about 20/25 yrs ago, it was so humid one fall that even this failed for me. I started to see mold on a few buds dispite my efforts. In a panic attack, I threw out the molded buds & dried the rest in the microwave. DO NOT OVER DRY if you get stuck with this as your only option, they will burn up. I dried in small batches & it took me over 15 hrs. It was a big harvest. I found this do-able in 1/8 (wet wt), 1 min at a time, on several sheets of paper towel to absorb moisture as they sweat, turn over, go another min. Keep going in 1 min increments untill dry. I guess this does degrade some thc, but it was still kick ass, & ANYTHING beats loosing your whole harvest to mold & fungus. I mean go this far with so much, then loose the buds in the drying process!?!? Anybody with a similar experience to share? How about a better way to deal with such an emergency. I'm all ears.(eyes?)

Air conditioning
