2010 Gardens

Starting my outdoor thread a bit earlier than I planned but thats ok.
I am doing multiple gardens this season, some gardens I have grown in for a few years and others are virgin spots.

I usually grow strictly in swamps, but this year I am doing some headstash garden's on bluffs that will get much more sun than my swamps. I will still be doing some swamps this year for bread and butter. I am also planning on doing a seed patch this year.

Most of the genetics I am growing are clones of Texada timewarp hybrids from the BC coast that not many people on here are familiar with. Almost all of the plants going into swamps this year will be seawarp and pinewarp. Not much else can grow in the rain and swamp humidity without moulding like crazy.

and pinewarp

Most of the swamps are dry enough by planting (last week of may) that I can plant directly into the soil like this

but I am going to try some swamp tubes in real wet swamps this year. Basing the design off some people who are using them on Texada, pretty much the swamp tube design from this link.

The bluffs I am growing on are between 200-350m above sea level so they aren't super high elevation but they do get an insane amount of light so I will be growing headstash and smaller container plants (mighty mite) in these gardens.

Im guessing about 40 or 50 mighty mite beans I started soaking last night.

In my headstash spots I will be growing pink kush which seems to be a heavy yielding bubba kush looks like Katsu but heavier and finnishes in Oct 1st at 49 degrees and a few timewarp crosses from johnnyhash which I started a week or two ago.

All the seedlings will be vegged under MH once they have 2 sets of leaves and aren't so frail. Clones are being vegged on hydro tables at the swamp partners spot, will try and get some pics once they are worth posting.

Nice, the Seawarp is a nice strain, I grew a few clones last year and was really impressed; it looked (and smoked) like alot of organic indoor I see. Do you know anything else about the strain, obviously some timewarp in there (growing up on the coast I smoked alot of that!) but what else? I'm hoping I can get a few clones of it this year too, it's one of my favorite outdoor smokes.

I got it from some people who had it before it left the gulf islands and they said it was timewarp x (dutch treat x mighty mite). I also read on here someone thought it was timewarp x sealevel.

Hello brother, I liked this topic on outdoor cultivation, more crops being a guerrilla ...
I also realized that using a good genetics, very interesting .... I will pursue that topic brother.

A big hug from a grower guerrillero the South American ...

Looks good, try to get more light on vegging if you can

I appreciate you trying to be helpful but they are under a 125 cfl in a tiny space they will be fine. I always transplant them up to the first set of leaves and the stem turns into roots by the time I pot them up again. Would you suggest I veg my seedlings under a 1000w? I have lot's of lights kicking around but it seems like overkill to veg with anything more than what I have until they are quite a bit bigger.

Uploading photos is real slow right now. I put out maybe 30-40 plants this weekend .. a bit early but I am confident that they will be ok.

These are my own take on swamptubes, I just take a 5+ gallon grow bags and stick chicken wire in em' and throw them out in the swamps. The bags have holes on the bottom and roots just grow right into the swamp. The 5 gallon usually yield between 4-8 ounces, 10 gallons 8-16 ounces. I train the bottoms branches through the sides of the chicken wire which makes big bushy plants.

For a medium I am using coco coir this year. I haven't used it outdoors before but friends have had higher yields over peat and its way easier to carry in the bush. I put lots of pelletized lime throughout the soil .. this is crucial. The coir is heavily amended with kelp and alfalfa meal .. guano in flower.

I am also doing some plants in regular grow bags without training them through the chicken wire.. we will see if they get nearly as big.

I will space them out once they get bigger but when they are babys I keep them together because I am lazy and don't want to walk into a leachy swamp when I don't have to.

looking good bro,
I just have a few questions for you, the Mighty Mite, I picked up a few hundred seeds when i was in Vancouver back in 1999, How big do they get outdoors, and do most of them auto flower? The reason I ask is, I have grown about 20 or so, and none of them auto flowered.
I planted them outdoors, in June, and by august they were 5-6 ft tall. Big airy colas, with pink/magenta pistils, just curious.
GL with your adventures.
peace
endur

Looks good! I know some swamp growers in my area but they don't get nearly as good of yields - they don't add dolomite, just top up with perlite every year - I kind of wonder if that accounts for part of the lower yields. We're in the mountains as well, nearly 3000 feet higher than you on the gulf islands so our season is a bit shorter..could have something to do with it.

Hey Endur, when I was a teenager my friends parents who lived down on an Island off the pacific coast grew fields of Mity Mite in their back yard, like three hundred out in big pots. I can't say whether they were auto-flowering at the time (this was 10 years ago, I didn't even know autos existed!).
Just like you say, I remember it looking pretty similiar, it was finished around the 1st week of september at head height, lots of purpling in the hairs and the leaves towards harvest too. We smoked pounds of that outdoor every year but I always remember it being pretty dense - who knows what kind of cut they were using though, it could have very well been a mity-mite cross for all that I know.
