Yep, the time's coming for an outdoor adventure. Early spring here, the snow's just managed to melt. I'm starting a bit earlier than last year, that will test my seedling's ability to sustain ground frosts, that may be happening in the couse of a month's time.
For those who don't know me, here I am chilling with a bunch of nice gals:
This is not going to be a guerilla grow, backpacking in the woods, looking for remote places, these days are no more for me. Large private property well hidden from curious looks, fences, some nice dogs around, you know what I mean.
But it's far away from my living place, so I will be able to inspect it once at a week at most.
As usual, I will go old style and try to keep as organic as possible. The seeds will go directly in soil, they themselves will decide when to start looking at the world around. No fancy germination, clones, starting indoors early and transferring out.
The seeds are not coming from any seedbank, my season is short and the weather is continental. My deadline is end Sept-early Oct, and no cryin' and prayin' is going to change the fact. So I believe that seeds from grower friends located roughly around my lattitude is a safest bet for maturing on time.
So big big thanks to Philosophal Stone, Green Ambasador, Sukalo, Esben and Hot Cargo.
Buds from your seeds are going to make a lot of people happy, seeds from your plants are going to make even more people happy next year. Hopefully I will keep some males, pollenate some ladies, make some crosses. We tend to forget to spread the seed.
I think I'm going to like the diversity. Ten different strains are going to be planted. It's going to be fun documenting each one of them.
In my area there's no good soil to speak of. Only sand, and lots of it. I'm forced to make my "pots" in the ground. I dig up holes ten of them, kneedeep, line them with plastic, and pour mid-grade commercial soil into them, soil is amended with some dolomite lime and processed cow dung.
All that has been accomplished yesterday. I'm still beat, but it was great exercise with fresh air and lots of sun.
Supplies, waiting to be mixed and carried over to the holes, 800 liters, my back's still aching after this!
A typical hole, not very wide but deep, holding about 70liters of soil:
Part of the work finished, holes filled, watered, waiting for me to come in a couple of days to put the seeds in them:
So, lets cross our fingers, and I wish all of you sun and dirt lovers a good, sunny, successfull, ripper-free 2006 outdoor season!!!

Hey Kov Nice to see another OD thread from you. I'll be watching for sure. What's with the platic in the holes? Does the sand dry out the dirt to fast if they are touching? Have a great season !
Your passion and skill won my respect a long time ago!
