I can’t believe the cucumbers are still going so strong lmao. What a blessing.

    • Comrade you do not want that lol

      The plant has rot and I grabbed a branch to see if it’s worth harvesting and trying to salvage some of it. Jury is still out (it’s getting a nice little bath rn) but I’m not hopeful.

        Mine get some mold in october if I don’t harvest them in time. Is there anything natural to do to treat it?

        By mid october my spot is down to like 2 hours of sun so it’s not a big loss. I got plenty last year, I am high as fuck right now, and drunk but that’s another story.

        • I haven’t really looked into it. We have had record rain and it seems some strains are more susceptible than others.

          It’s a fungus, but I don’t know if it’s something that sticks around and I should rotate but I don’t think I had a plant there last year but I honestly can’t remember 😭

            I think soapy water is supposed to help actually. You might want to look it up, and I wouldn’t want to spray my buds with dish soap, but it might be better than nothing. Definitely better than spraying with fungicide, which will be very much worse for your health than soap.

            But I bet some plant oils, like essential oils, help also. Peppermint oil is magic for instance, it probably helps for this too.

    Can I ask what lattitude you are at that you have buds that developed yet? I am at 45 in a continental climate, and mine just started to bud out maybe a week or two back.

        I got some kind of purple superstrain hybrid made for outdoors, from seed this year from seedlings I bought last year. Late start, we had hard freezes well into may this year. Mine went uncovered late may I think, started pretty late, forget exactly but about when you did.

            Nice, I would share a picture but don’t because of security concerns, not sure about metadata, and I never got a program to remove it. My biggest is at least 10 if not 12 feet, but less bushy than last years big one. Last year of my 8 surviving from 20 seedlings, all but 3 were male. But my biggest was a female, I got at least a pound if not two from her alone.

            This year I have only spotted one barely hermathrodite plant. Guess I will move that one at some point, not enough flowers to worry about it maybe though idk.

            But of the 3 years I’ve ran plants up here, they’ve all budded the same time. But the auto flower is quite different, and made for quick flowerings.
