Colorado Outdoor 2: Saga continues...

[JohnnyATL]

We are hurting for snow down here in taos man, gonna be hard on the alfapha farmers and hay farmers cause the acequias wont be flowing very high. I have irrigation on my property but I use just hand watering from a well cause its more efficient.

When do you usually start your light dep? What do you use to line your greenhouse? Heater?

 

[calientecarlos]

This is my first ever lightdep i fig'd april 1 was good. Hoophouse will be one layer of 6mil clear plastic and shadecover will be 2x cheap brown tarps. No heater i'll leave shadecover on @ night til temps raise. When its warm enough the clear plastic will come off and i'll only cover few hours each evening til "civil twilight".

Nice list man! Should be lots of different flavors to choose from at the end of the season. I'm going to run all the bro OG crosses too. Maybe we can have a friendly competition of some kind?

I don't do sammiches for dudes with pasty taints - I mean, a guy's gotta draw the line SOMEWHERE, eh?

The selections for this year's outdoor, those are going to be from seed or cuts?

If seed, do you have 'em growed up & sexed prior to putting 'em out, or do you put 'em all out and just remain on dude-alert?

A bit jealous on the OD-ability, but I suppose rather than be hatefully jealous, I'll just be happy for you instead..

 

[calientecarlos]

may 1st flower room becomes veg for 4-6 weeks for seed sexxing. mid june to july 1 latest for planting in ground. seeds will be sowed in next day r so. outdoor keeps the lights on n me fed. has for few years. low overhead higher return on investment. it's a safer investment peeps are just ignant obtusely n grotesquely so. if all goes well this season will be last indoor EVER for me... goal easily obtained if i no go vacation for 4 weeks lolz.. forgot to mention i'll be runnin hoop house lightdep in next few weeks with plants currently in veg meow too. rains it pours..

 

[Guyute54]

Thx Guy!!! I'm into a growdown throwdown of some sort eh

Let me know the strain and when the start date will be. Pushes me to take care of things a little better. So I think win or lose either way we will both be winners at the end. How about if I lose I send you some brats and cheese?

 

[silver hawaiian]

Hot damn chuck, sounds tits. Are you a one-man band when it comes to the setup & maintenance? What kind of time does it take outta ya?

I'm diggin' the outdoor-crop-year-round-support-lifestyle gig, that would be tits.

 

[calientecarlos]

Guy whatever you think mang!

Silv I be the whole show myself. main reason i keep my shit simple as possible. Few hours a day few days a week til harvest.. Yeah cleanhouse all summer then travel all winter is the goal!!

 

[Guyute54]

I had some real nice results so far from the point break #2 x Bro OG . And whenever your ready to throw them in the water let me know and I'll get soaking them.

Do you have some gorilla spots? Do you reuse all your indoor soil in your outdoor beds? And if so do you reamend with anything?

I have been adding to my gorilla spot for years with EWC, bone meal and cow shit. But I feel like its missing something. They explode in June early July but seems they just start coasting at the end of the year.

hey guy!

Maybe try amending the soil with some Indonesian guano this year? It seems to work for me as a source of P better than bone..? Also, I find it helpful to top dress with the same guano every couple weeks during flower - about 1 TBSP per gallon/container space. (Adjust as permissable in your situation, of course)

 

[calientecarlos]

Guy I'm already 2 days in!! Didn't bother soaking or keg cups they get gallon pots if they're winners!!

6 of my straw cough's popped already she's a real bread winner Big Mack Attack on right was first to pop which was no surprise she's vigorous as fock.

As far as guerrilla i gots few spots... right next to canal in 10ft willows they really bang out there. didn't run em last season bc my ext vaca.. this year i'd love to n prob will have to so i'm on my med plant numbers..

i run new soil outdoors bc every year my numbers double lol. indo 50/50 recycle till in.. no ammendments just perlite n sphagnum. I'll bottom dress ewc n dry mollassy during transplant. when flowers are abundant i pour a puddle of icky mollassy near driphead and sprinkle it with volcano guano. my version of time release nutes. wicked smart not wicked hard .. i'll employ a foliar regime but have yet to decide on juan..

 

[calientecarlos]

So this is what I'm workin with here. I got 1 1/2" pvc for laterals n will drill holes n wire it together with stainless utility wire. pipe was in diff lengths but I kinda like the cocoon look..

might try lil scrog in far end

haybales have really helped the soil "cook" all winter shit is gonna bang out in therr..

 

[silver hawaiian]

Nice! I dig the whole-hay-bale on top of the bed. Easy! I stapled a tarp over the beds last year, but that was a major pain in the ass in the spring - lots of staples to yank (and find).

Also diggin' the cocoon look!

 

[calientecarlos]

Thx silv I think the coon shape will fare better in z wind too eh.. scored the bales this fall for mulch this year n had to keep deer away that was best spot. 2 birds stoned

 

[calientecarlos]

Not gonna get clear plastic this spring I'll just move them out/in errday til they get too big then i'll put em in ground and lightdep tarp em every eve..

 

[silver hawaiian]

What are you going to use for the light dep tarp? Anything fancified/special-like made?

This reminds me.. I've been threatening to buy a cheap greenhouse for the past few years, just for right-handed flowers and veggies, .. But then when I think about it, I wonder.. Is it really gonna allow me do to do much more, or do I just like the idea?

I'm fingerin' it'll be too damned hot to use in the thick of summer, .. So I presume I could use it to jumpstart in spring, and extend (in containers) in the fall..? Hmm.
