Why be impressed with paranoia and self importance?
the farm i visited is run by close friends, they are not paranoid, just ran into some trouble with local Hells Angels prospects a couple years back, had to defend their property, and the very next year up went the fences and cameras.

11 pallets and you decided to amend it? Thats alot of mixing! I try to leave the soil science to the professionals that provide the base mix, my back prefers it that way!

I love the permanence of the pots and flats you dug, swing by our thread and see how we went about working on a hillside... less work and way less impact on slope itself

Can't wait to see how your new digs shapes up! Hillside is looking great

thanks, i didn't really want to amend the vermifire but my partner insisted. oh well, it only took a day of mixing with 4 people.

I checked out your grow, looks cool!

Hope all is well, & that FIRE is Far from your Farm..Peace

thanks, the fire is actually very close to us but no worries, and i believe it is being contained.

sweet start you have there! best wishes for monster trees.
thanks homey!

Most of our plants are a bit smaller, one to two feet tall.

do you guys think these plants look alright for this part of the season? should they be bigger? (strains in the pictures are GSC, Headband.)

the reason i'm asking is because my friend down the road has monster bushy 7-footers already outside, and He offered to give me some of his monsters but i feel they may be too big already.

on the other hand i feel some of my girls may still be too small for my needs. i would like to get at least 3lbs per plant.

any thoughts? let me know if better pics are needed

Veg N Out

As long as your plants are healthy and stay healthy you can easily get 3 to 5 lbs with stuff like blue dream

Any details on your watering setup?

You have epic space on that hillside, No worry of anything casting shadows anywhere!


Cant wait to see how things shape up over there!

Hey whaats up ICMag

Please pardon my absence, I just got back to the 831, have no internet yet in gold country so updates here are sporadic.

If y'all have been following along you will remember i have a friend who is growing a couple hundred monsters and offered me a few. They have been vegged in 30gallon pots since march i believe.

Well i took 5 of them. 4 blue dream and 1 Platinum Bubba. they are all 7+ft tall. Here they are in the 200gal pots. They look like they might be more comfortable in Mendo420's 800gallon smartpots !! We still have to get them caged up with concrete remesh, they're leanin. I wonder how big they'll be in the fall.

everything else is coming along nicely. Some of the seed plants turned out to be male, so i pulled them and replaced them with some GSC clones that i had vegging in 2gal pots of coco for my indoor rooms.

so the final headcount (i think) for the 200gallon pots is:

**clones**
(2) Cherry pie
(1) Animal cookies
(10) Girl Scout Cookies
(4) Blue Dream
(1) Platinum Bubba
(4) Cheesequake

***seeds**

(1) Tahoe OG x Cherry Pie
(10) Pure Kush x Northern Lights
(7) Headband x Northern Lights

GSC

Girl Scout Cookies. These clones replaced our males. They came from 2gallon pots of coco in flood tables that we were vegging for indoors.

some of these went out last week, some went out a couple days ago. kind of a late start but they look very healthy. The ones that have been outside for 1 week longer are almost twice as big as the ones vegging under a 1000W.

Pure Kush x Northern Lights

Pure Kush x Northern Lights

my friend did a room full of Pure Kush and Headband a couple years back, turns out there was a Northern Lights male in there and he didn't see until it was too late.

so now he has thousands of PKxNL and HBxNL seeds. we got ours popped in april but they just went outside a couple weeks ago.

heres a happy PKxNL. the headbandxNL's look similar so just use your imagination

For relaxation in gold country I like to spend time at the river, but last weekend we made the short drive to Yosemite. All my life i've lived in Cali and never been there before.
