Any suggestions for prototype 2 and 3 are welcome.
Location is small creek bordering National park. Water level seasonal fluctuation 10 -15 cm.
In creek stream and all around are fields of very aggressive reeds overgrowing any plant (reason why could not use bottom off ). I drilled lots of small holes, diameter 5mm and placed burlap as water wick.
Security and sunshine potential of site are excellent. Going to make 5 prototypes of creek perpetums.
I think that lots of perlite + those hydro clay balls that hold water mixed into a good soil mix will do the job with minimum care. I think it's risky to grow so close to water.
Weather is tricky, volcanos erupt, earthquakes, remember the floods last year?
Maybe you should dig some extra holes somewhere not so close to a creek?
Just my
boz
Nice going with the swamp tube there cro_guerilla...I also think that mix is solid but i would wait more than 10 days before i plant in just over 14 is what i would be thinking because of the fresh sardines & mackerel....Can't wait to see how it turns out for ya...
green o matic start to flowering, smell as old hash:
hymalaya is over 50 cmm, no odour
deer, rabbit topped girls survive:
hg has three branches
hope this stressed gom will be male

not yet watering or fertilizing at all - reservoir at bottom is full of water, so next visit will be for 4-5 weeks, hopefully with some harvest report (Backcounty irrigation rules)
This is oldest and most secure spot until this spring, as one Brit came very close with brand new ugly house (app. 50m) to our olives garden.
As young pour babies need total peace we put just half of Amsterdam shopping - another half will wait results of creek/swamp grow and negotiating with new neighbor.
Our spot is now in visual scope of richie novou.
Decide to put half of sativas babies in pots behind olivas as we do know nothing about new neighbors and what future brings (last year reserve is strong smoke).
May bee fine cockney Londoners want to watering sometimes?
Missed, season 2010 - harvest report:
- spots at river bank and adriatic island harvested by others (hunters, tourists or...)
- swamp site was amazing - but more in quantity than quality (enough for two years)
--
So, this year will growing only in swamp with different approach.
Old perpetum tubes but very easy and using Darvins rules.
Sowed directly in soil, now, it is third round.
Weather is nice here and hope will be happy story.
Strains are mostly native domaćica (island vis origin) and some grains from 2010 harvest.
Hey cro guerilla
Wish you best of luck with this project!
I hope your spots will make their jobs for you and for yours!
I see a lot of water down... don't you afraid about it? Sometimes summer brings some rains... here in my country. Maybe Croatia is different... yes it is but in swamps...
Need some advice for next seed round.
Want to buy some sativa strains in Slo or Austria and will listen advice of experience brothers growers.
Which one is optimum for this climate and need a low maintaince in swamp growing?
Pls., strain not must be feminised, consider price/value (as global crisis hit my pocket a lot).
Links to growers shops in Central/East Europe are welcome.
Thx zielonylasss, my polish brother.
This link is helpfull and promising, also I found to know reading Polish. Dziękuję!
There are lots of water as it swamp area. No need watering at all and relative good soil mean no needs for fertilisers (on small islands only - on other places are swamp tubes with domestic compost, fertiliser and mackerle at bottom). Ideal place for lazy medical grower.
Water level are practically same all year round - it mean, only come in preflower and harvest time.
Inovation for this year is that I mixed grains of nettles with sativas:
my Ma's side comes from Croatia and Pa's from Slovenia......farmers to the Pajaro Valley-Santa Cruz county, Cali... ...over hundred yr's ago......so it's in the blood........and krk ....you the card huh.......lol.....
Thx. for posting Mtn. Nectar,
we are same genetic mixture!
Mean, my partner is from Slovenia. We live in Zagreb with two kids (happy non-marriage ). Tried some spots in Slo but in Cro is much better climate for medical ganja...
Poz iz slo!
Amm i ran Durban Poison,Easy Sativa 2/3 years ago. No major problems regarding mold or pests, even after heavy rain few weeks before the chop. Finished in late September.
