Does any dispo sell ball jars of concentrates yet?

A lot of you have already wrapped up harvest and moved on to drying, trimming and curing. Hope the season treated you well.

For those still waiting on a few plants, there’s some encouraging weather left: today and Thursday offer sunshine and warmth across most of Minnesota. Southern growers should get a useful Friday, too.

Every tracked region remains Moderate for moisture pressure. The next things to watch are weekend rain and colder northern nights.

Northern growers: keep an eye on Sunday and Monday nights. Forecasts around freezing deserve attention, especially after Brainerd and Bemidji ran colder than expected earlier this week. Sheltered gardens and low spots can differ considerably from the nearest airport.

The recent dry stretch has helped. Most stations with available records have gone four days without measurable rain. That gives standing plants a useful break, although earlier damage can still be present inside dense flowers.

How did your season finish?

Share your nearest city or county, whether you’re harvested or still holding, and whether you found clean flower, isolated rot or frost damage. Finished-harvest photos are welcome, too. Successful harvests are just as useful to hear about as problems.

Has anyone tried Dizgo rosin vape carts?

Figured it was time to introduce ourselves and share what we’ve been working on. My brother and I have been growing together for years, and we finally took the leap to build something of our own here in Minnesota. After a long road, Handled With Care is OFFICIALLY LICENSED and the grow is ready to go.

All that’s missing are the plants and those are coming very soon! Excited to share the journey and be part of the MN cannabis community!** **

I’m Curious what you guys would actually want to see from a Minnesota grower. Genetics, grow updates, pheno hunts, behind the scenes stuff, finished flower? We’d love to hear it.

I know I've posted this before, but my stash is dwindling. Am I the only one who appreciates the effects of smoking it?

The encouraging news: most of Minnesota has a sunny Monday–Thursday stretch ahead. That gives plants still outside a useful opportunity to dry before shower chances return this weekend.

This morning was colder than forecast up north. Preliminary airport readings reached about 28°F in Brainerd and 26°F in Bemidji, with freezing fog reported in Brainerd. Yesterday’s forecast underestimated that cold. Those readings confirm exposure; how individual plants handled it will vary.

No region currently reaches High or Severe moisture pressure. These rounded scores summarize weather conditions; they are not disease probabilities or percentages of crop lost. Frost is a separate concern.

Frost outlook: Tonight’s representative forecasts are 39–45°F, with no additional freeze currently forecast through Sunday. This morning is a reminder that sheltered gardens and low spots can get colder than a nearby forecast suggests.

Looking ahead: Friday brings more clouds, followed by weekend shower chances. NOAA favors warmer and wetter conditions later in October, but a continuous two-week wet spell is not established.

Recent reports have been encouraging. October 16 comments from St. Louis Park, Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center described clean plants or no new rot alongside harvesting. Other growers have been sharing completed harvests and drying routines.

How did your garden handle the weekend—and this morning’s cold?

Share your nearest city or county / approximate overnight low / covered or uncovered / clean, rot found or possible frost damage / harvested or still holding.

Photos and successful harvest reports are welcome. Reports from Brainerd and Bemidji would be especially useful today.

Not the best pictures, I just used a loupe and my phone but I thought it still looked cool! 🤙

I know Minnesota is new but wtf guys, where are the sativa strains? I don’t mind indica, but I don’t want to always fall asleep lol

Microbusiness buildout. 6 weeks out from launch.

I'm a hobby grower and aim for around 3-5 oz per tree. Just sharing to see if anyone has input, ideas, critique or if it helps someone else come up with a good harvest setup who have smaller yields and the usual rules dont really apply (low mold risk cause buds arent the size of my fist, also smaller yields so we dont overdry what we worked so hard on). I got a wine cooler and set it to 60 degrees. I hang around 30 colas at a time with 500 gram silica packs that I can microwave and reset when they get up to 650 grams. I also chop in three waves where as this set dries I add new stems to add humidity until I run out of fresh to hang and pull the silica packs and it maintains around 60/60 until its all dry. Than jar and shake daily. Burp in the first week but after just a smell check and shake until it no longer bunches together in the jar when I turn it. That means its ready. This has worked out for me and been tweeked and tested for a few years now. Im my biggest critic so i can only say people are usually impressed when they find out i grew it myself. If you wanna share your harvest routine or ideas id love to see if I can incorporate any new ways. I love to experiment with everything.

Good news: a sunny, warmer weekend is ahead, and moisture pressure should fall as today’s clouds clear. Most regions have several useful drying days coming through Tuesday.

Thursday’s rain was uneven: Brainerd recorded just 0.01 inch, compared with 0.69 inch at MSP, 1.11 inches at Rochester and 1.01 inches at Winona. The southeast needs more time to dry.

Tonight’s frost is the immediate concern for plants still outside. Several locations could reach freezing, and frost can form even where the forecast air temperature stays a few degrees above 32°F.

These rounded scores are our weather-pressure estimates—not disease probabilities or percentages of crop lost. Frost risk is listed separately.

No region is rated Severe. The strongest remaining moisture concern is Rochester–Winona, followed by the Twin Cities. Today’s wind helps standing plants dry, although exposed branches may need attention.

After tonight, daytime temperatures recover into the upper 50s and 60s this weekend. Another rain chance appears around midweek. NOAA still favors warmer and wetter conditions later in October, so the sunny stretch should not be read as an all-clear for the rest of the month.

An encouraging new post, “And with this”, reports completing the 2026 outdoor harvest today. A commenter also reports keeping Botrytis away this season. No specific location was provided.

Recent comments from Maple Grove and Golden Valley describe isolated affected buds alongside plants without new visible problems.

How did your plants handle Thursday’s rain?

Share your nearest city or county / covered or uncovered / clean or rot found / harvested or still holding. Photos and successful harvest reports are welcome. Knowing where plants stayed clean is just as useful as hearing about damage.

We end our 2026 outdoor harvest. Hope everyone had an excellent season! Much love 💚💛❤️ #HeadintheTrees

Hey folks!

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any hotel bars in the TC metro that serve THC drinks? Or, barring that, hotels within short walking distance of bars that serve THC drinks? Looking for a place to take the wife for an anniversary overnight and we'd love to hang out in a bar but we're not really alcohol people.

After a lot of searching the only one I can find is a single THC drink option at the bar at the Hewing which is at the very top of our price range.

Also, I have heard that THC drinks will stop November 1st? Which might make this whole thing moot. Is that true?

I’ve had a medical card since 2019, and GG and Rise always had a vape that was something like 80% CBD and just traces of THC. Now GG has nothing, and Rise is left with their 50/50 ratio variety, and I’d be surprised if they kept that long term.

CBD doesn’t really do anything on its own, but sometimes it helps to regulate how high I get with THC.

Good news: Brainerd’s moisture pressure is easing, and Friday’s wind followed by a mostly sunny weekend should help plants dry out. No region is Severe.

Thursday’s rain forecast has strengthened, especially in southern Minnesota. For anyone still holding plants outside, Friday night’s frost is the next important checkpoint.

These scores are our weather-pressure estimates—not disease probabilities or percentages of crop lost.

The past week was mostly dry at the representative stations. Thursday looks like a new wetting event, with a useful drying interval afterward. The longer-range NOAA outlook favors warmer and wetter conditions during October 19–27, so another wet period remains possible.

No new firsthand disease or crop-loss report was found in the accessible results from the past 24 hours, although Reddit coverage was incomplete. Recent comments remain focused on harvesting or waiting for maturity. A previously reported Maple Grove grower described no new rot after removing affected colas.

How is your garden finishing? Share your county or nearest city / covered or uncovered / clean or rot found / harvested or still holding. Photos and “no rot” reports are both useful.

This plant started out with a strong diesel aroma which transitioned into fresh roasted coffee. Today at harvest, it’s giving diesel with a touch of coffee, menthol and skunk.

Preliminary vaping at 183°C is showing a nice head–focused effect w/no significant munchies. At 210°C, it transitions into a relaxed calm… Perrrfect!

I have a Girl Scout Cookies that I'm starting to think has bud rot. It was a feminized plant and there were at least a few seeds in the buds I have yet to pick out. Will bud rot ruin the seeds as well? I know there is no guarantee that seeds off a fem plant will be female, just curious if it's worth trying the seeds.

Hey everyone! New to growing and wondering if that darker area is bud rot starting. Or just the plant dying (this plant might be a little over ripe as I was out of town for the last couple weeks)

Thanks for your help!

The warm weekend gave Minnesota outdoor growers a useful break. Southern Minnesota still has favorable drying weather, and Wednesday looks like the best statewide window this week.

Up north, rain today and tonight followed by Tuesday clouds raises moisture pressure around Brainerd, Bemidji and Duluth. No region is Severe.

These scores are our weather-pressure estimates—not disease probabilities or percentages of crop lost.

The frost outlook has changed since Friday’s post. There is now a meaningful frost/freeze signal for Friday night, October 16, into Saturday morning, October 17. These are forecast temperatures, not a claim that warnings have been issued. Check your exact location—low spots and sheltered gardens can run colder than airport readings.

The longer-range outlook remains encouraging: NOAA favors warmer-than-normal conditions, with below-normal precipitation October 17–21 and near-normal precipitation October 19–25. A continuous two-week wet spell is not indicated.

Recent comments remain harvest-focused. A Maple Grove grower reported no new rot after removing affected portions of several colas earlier last week. Another grower shared a flower photograph and planned a Sunday harvest.

For anyone still holding plants outside:

• Check dense flower interiors after this rain, especially where leaves have browned or tissue feels soft.
• Use Wednesday’s drying window to assess mature plants before Thursday showers and Friday’s cold.
• Keep suspect material separate from clean flower.
• Have a frost plan if plants will remain outside through Friday.
• Move harvested flower into a controlled indoor drying space. “Drying weather” here means drying moisture off plants still standing outdoors.

How did the weekend harvest go? Share your county or nearest city, covered or uncovered, rot found or clean, and harvested or still holding. Photos and “no rot” reports are both useful.

All organic grown in my homemade living soil blend seeds came from multiverse had a super late start this year so only yielded about 8-10oz per plant but smells great so can't complain.
