Golden Arms look sweet. You got one man or two people doing it?

It get's lonely in the hills that's for sure! Ya gotta get out and stretch your legs.

Ya'll have ATV's to rage trails with? Ain't nothin like rollin' a couple of hog legs and blastin through some trails. Head in the sky.

Hey bro. Two guys on the golden arms. It's like nuthin.

I ride dirt bikes but the helpers aren't the type. We'd be down in the ER. Lol.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

Was planning on 60ish, but I guess we'll play it by ear. The guys on the hill will love that. Lol.

damn looking quite greasy for 40 days….i'd almost want to snip a few branches for a fresh frozen hash run…the early girls make the golden stuff.

you better save me some of that!! need to taste some open sun GG4 very curious to the flavor profile compared to indoor…


btw heard you yanked all your full season? too much water usage or they didn't acclimate? sucks I'm the lone ranger up here now with the full seasons everyone has moved onto dep..
 
I'm starting to feel the same, big plants huge stems look nice but you miss out on a crucial market period. With proper staging and high numbers it seems as though you can achieve similar yields, higher quality, and more revenue.

Loving dep beds, 5 x 18 x 1 or 2 for monsters. 3 fit perfect with 2 nice asiles in a 20 foot wide gh which is about as wide as you wanna go without a golden arm.

Keep on crushing it fisher.

I'm getting to the point I no longer want to dep, at least if it's manual, auto is another story but I've been doing it for a few years now and am over it. With so many people switching because they used to get such high tickets the market is becoming saturated year round and the extra costs and effort out weigh the reward. Full sun limited effort gardens from here on out unless I can get someone with big paper to give me a million dollar loan for a 20k sqft auto dep with 200 gavitas blazing lol.

Yep. It's too fuggin hot to give those the water they need..my well is limited it what it produces and I just want all on deck for my bloomers. Also, I'm going to re-load all the 100's here and move the pots from the 30x60' onto the trenches where the sun is better. I think it will all work out for the best. Was kinda looking forward to the variety out there. Oh well.

This guy gets it. I just wish I could do what ya'll do with the numbers over there. Thanks brotha.

z-ro, depping makes for more work, for sure..especially with a re-load. Many positives for me, I'll probably keep workin it for a bit. I could see wanting to take a break after a few seasons.

The 10 day is all over 100. Not totally ideal for finishing out a light dep.These larger pots do better to insulate than what I've used in year's past though..30/50/65 gallon. Still giving them a mid-afternoon drink.

Brazil/Columbia should be a great match..I'm trying to plan my day around it..lol.

yea this next week is going to suck, does it hit 100s up at your 6k elevation spot? how do you keep things cool in the GH during these heat waves….i can barely stand in my garden right now without burning up, my work hours are 6-9am then i can't even go back outside there until 6-9pm…

Shcrews- thanks..I've had successful runs in the spring and summer, have never fully committed to a winter run, but if serious and intend to produce in the winter around here you would need fixtures and furnaces and tons of power. Don't think I'm too eager to start all that.

215- that spot isn't at 6k it's like 2700'. Always at least 10 degrees cooler than here though. It's really nice up there right now. I took down the endwall plastic on the 30x60 and it really helps the airflow. Last year I ran evaporative coolers during the afternoon on hot days..I think it's time to get those out.

Hey fisher15 looking very nice i have a question have you noticed that some strains look better light dep compared to indoor while others are almost the opposite have you noticed such relationships ?

Also if you can recommend any strain that you can get from seed that you found to be very effective in greenhouse - light dep setup

last are pepol not using automated shading systems ?

DK- Summertime flowers always turn out nice. Very weighty and frosty, as the sunlight is so intense. Indoor always looks a little different, but I think these light dep flowers will be very competitive.

I don't want to recommend any strain in particular, but shorter growing varieties and flowering times can be a plus in dep setups.

Auto deps are becoming more popular, for sure. But they don't give those away.
