This is the 1908 Connolly this plant has world record genetics. The weather has been hot and humid for a couple weeks now and it looks like it’s supposed to continue as far as I can see. When things get so hot and so humid everything ramps up, especially diseases! Disease is there lurking,crouching waiting to pounce and take you down. Weeds are growing ridiculously fast, bugs are hatching fast, everything is sped up. Basically you just have to buckle down and hope to hang on. Handle each crisis as it comes and hopefully you have something to show for it at the end of the year. I feel for the growers down south who deal with this for months on end. . It’s not really the heat, it’s the humidity that I feel really gets you. You can put shade netting up for heat, you can put misters up for heat. What are you gonna do to take the humidity out of the air? There’s nothing.
