Bluebuds Adventures

[bluebuds]

hi everyone. this year im goin to log a grow to look back on. im trying some new methods (new to me) that will hopefully improve this years run. im trying the home made bottomless smartpots in hopes of getting a better than usual yeild. these "hoops" as i call them are also placed in wetter areas than i usually chose in hopes of being able to water less frequently. i have 3 hoops that each hold 2 bales of pro-mix BX which are 3.8 cubic feet a piece (approximatly 100 gallons). thats 7.6 cubic feet per hoop. . i also have 13 smaller hoops that each hold only 2 cubic feet of pro-mix pro (about 25 gallons). along with those i have around a dozen 20 gallon holes dug and filled with pro-mix pro.
Nutrients- *all organic*
-Happy frog all purpose 5-5-5

Sounds cool, have you ever grown the Jumbo Grizzly before?

I've got some crosses, from my backyard last year with Nepali Grizzly and another local strain I've been growing a few years..we'll see how they turn out. I've always been curious about the Jumbo Grizzly though..

Rugged grow site, Bluebud. I like the looks of those bottomless smartpots for the wet spots.

I'll check your grow again.

Happy Harvests!

new growth on 2 of my jumbo grizzleys. i really like the way these grow. the branches have been growing as fast as the top since they were seedlings. very vigerous plants.

also dusted some of my autos with some grizzley pollen

[GAME]

Very nice, I will be watching this grow as it progresses. Thanks for sharing !

 

[bluebuds]

thanks game. i got a total of 11 plants out today 8 unsexed northernberry, and 3 chemdog clones. also did alot of watering. which includes lugging 2 7 gallon containers full of water 200 yards of so multiple times pics in a bit, -bluebuds

5 hole spot with northernberry seedlings about 12-16 inches tall

another 3 northernberry in another spot. i got out 3 chemdog clones in their own 2 cubic foot hoops (pic of the 3 at the blowndown pine in previous pics) didnt take pics because the mosquitos were to damn thick to stop moving. ill update next week or so with new picks when im watering. i will have a total of 8 different spots and eventually close to 30 plants out. thats all ill be able to handle caring for myself -bluebuds

 

[GAME]

Yeah, I have been sick and tired of lugging water for 65 plants the past week. Been a few weeks without rain, but it looks like this will end tonight. Again, best of luck.

so i think i figured out how many gallons of soil i have in my hoops. the 3 big hoops are holding approximatly 100 gallons while the smaller ones are holding 25 gallons. my holes each hold 20 gallons and are lined with trashbags to retain some moisture. and of course they have soilmoist crystals in the bottoms. should be plenty of root space for my babies -bluebuds
