As the Title says really,

 

Seasonal tips, heads ups, and stuff to make growing easier

 

 

Here's my two for the month

 

• Budrot is a coming

 

End of August through October is when the spores are in the air, humidity and temps a starting to fluctuate and bud rot starts to strike.

Outdoors, just keep attending your plants, shaking them down, and pulling away any dead/dying/fallen leafs, opening the plants up if possible to max the airflow.

Indoors, make sure your fans/extraction are up to the job, consider installing heaters to even out the temp and condensation spikes, or install de-humidifiers to keep the humidity low and keep a very close eye on those phattening buds, if you spot the dreaded browny grey mush, cut it out fast.

 

• Get them in for Christmas 

 

It might be four months away but that is a full seed-2-weed grow cycle. IF you want decent, dried and cured, supplies for Christmas, the next 4 weeks are when you want to get things moving. Auto flowering strains will extend that growing window, but only by a few weeks and should ideally be in and underway by the end of September.

 

 

Feel free to add with you own timely and apt words of green wisdom

Here's another one for ya

 

Everyone raves about duck tape and gorrilla tape and agreed, it's good stuff...but, it's not lightproof and it dries out when used in grooms so is there a better alternative?

 

Yes, and its called Metal Tape (no not that TDK M90 one with Iron Maiden on it ) or sometimes called Silver Foil Tape, or Thermafoil)

 

It's about the same price as Branded Duck/Gorrilla tape, but easier to use, easier to cut, completely moldable, waterproof, heatproof (long term), reflective and sticky as a sticky thing. Ideal for fixing tent holes/rips, putting up your mylar/black and white, sealing ducting, joining ducting and a hundred and one other uses. Get it in the Insulation section of your local Wickes/BnQ/Builders Supply. The last lot I got was 4.99 for a 45m roll.
