....................................

This year ive modified some of my previous techniques. Been prepping since early Feb. Last years sucess has motivated me in ways I never immagined. Been repping the 4 D's ..(desire, direction, determination, and discipline)harder than ever. It feels good, and has set me up for a season to remember.

So far ive had the bulk of my plants out since mid May. Using the same plots, but both have been heavily modified since last season. Running my star strains from last fall, and quite afew new ones..

GHS. Fem
Himalaya Gold
Lemon Skunk
Big Bang
Trainwreck
A.M.S
All the above in bulk, some testers and personal smoke. Will get to those later in the thread.

Me and Mrs. Pine decided to get to work early in the season digging a irrigation pond. Took us 2 months to build a pool 20' across and 4 feet deep. We used the stream bed to fill up sandbaggs to dam up the spring. Now we have ~3000 gal on hand,, spring fed. Im using my wx-10 to get enough pressure in the lines so both of us can handwater seperate parts of the garden at the same time..Building a "igloo" out of sandbaggs aroung the pump dampens the sound all the way down to nothing 200yds away. This patch has taken an enormous amount of work, and it holds the most plants. ~500 assorted GHS fems. All high matenance, in my traditional bottomless buckets. The patch is nestled among oak and tall pines, offering me more cover than ive ever worked with, along with a rich forrest loam, packed with earthworms and soft black gold. Some of the best native ive ever seen. Im very blessed to be able to work this spot. If it does good, it should make for some very interesting pictures. So far there have been minimal losses at that patch, with the average plant size approaching 2'. Will be arriving up there tomorrow at dawn. Pictures to follow in the evening....

Yes, yes I am - another fan from Volumes I and II. I've been standing/eating/sleeping in line with all of the other Star Wars/Fast Pine fanboys and fangirls for awhile and have now been rewarded with some serious trays of genetically-gifted and lovely ladies.

I'm looking forward not only to viewing some wicked pictures, but reading all about this grow especially because you've learned much and radically prepared for this season. Best of luck to you and your wife - may this be your most bountiful season yet!

[Guest]

Hey FP. Im still tellin people about that high dollar fancy smancy manicure machine!!!

The early pics look promising! Stake the HG because her infrastructure cant support her bud weight. At 10 weeks its nice smoke.

Id wish you luck but growers with skills don't need as much luck...

On second thought, good luck.


Ps. How'd the affie #1 come out?

 

[hamstring]

V3 baby!! Cant wait to see this one brother. Stay safe and grow big.

Mrs FP sounds like a hard worker too digging a holding pond with you damnnnn! Can't get Mrs hamstring to mow the f****ing lawn.hehehe
PEACE

Update..High altitude plot..

Update..High altitude plot..

During the spring runoff I had to hike in a portable bridge in order to safely cross the raging stream. I had to slide treys of seedlings, mucho supplies, and a coupple deep cycle batteries across that bouncy ass ladder. It was the only way to access the plot, and I would be over amonth behind schedule if I wasnt able to cross the stream an get workin early. I tried to wade across it a coupple times only to get washed into the boulders below......Luckly, spring turkey season coincided with the runnoff, so if any hunters wanted to cross the stream to the plot, they would likely get washed away. From the stream bed its a grueling hike up the other side of the valley, through very thick brush. I used a modified shoe rack to hike 2 nursery treys up at a time. I love this patch, it is the best site ive ever used in countless ways. If played right, it can surely be a gold mine.....

So far everything is going very well. Couldnt ask for more. Previous years dont hold a candle to the potential this one holds. This is my first year using feminized seeds, and im starting to really love em. (Thx monty)

Visited last night, and got caught in a thunderstorm. Was raining hard enough to excuse me an the Mrs from a watering session that usualy takes ~5hours. We are hand watering ~500 plants(at this patch), and its only gonna take longer as they get bigger(6-8'). Toards the end of the year, well have to water on our knees, crawling through the tunell spaces around the base of the plants. My area has been getting more rain than usual which has been a blessing in more ways than one..Deer, fires, etc..

Lastnights pics are fuckin horrible, and not to worry, I will normally be getting daytime flicks this year, so these should be some of the only night shots yall will have to bear with.

Have a good weekend fellas,,,,,,Im goin fishin.

(Introductions on the other patch to come soon)
