i feel you bro. my plants got nothing all season. just water, and they look great. If we can step it up a notch next year then we will, but i am stoked on the results of the minimal approach, better than i expected. For now it's all about genetics, plus good soil and lots of it.

It's been an amazing season at the Summer Camp. All the kids are getting ready to go home!! Everything was fed on Biological Advantage and grown in either 3rd year NorCal Blend and one garden on 1st year Nor Cal..
Farmers Dream , Bomb Threat Bubba Kush x Heart Attack Kush , This is my dream plant. I found this from three random seeds. So awesome. This plant was grown in first year EWSF Nor Cal Blend soil...
West Coast D.O.G This is my staple strain. Been growing her since 2006 and I don't plan on quitting.
A New arrival at the Summer Camp, Cherry Pie. Great stuff. Love the smell and the output , really easy to grow when she's healthy. Crossed the Chemdog 4 BC3 male I gifted to South Fork Seeds over it as well as Bomb Threat Bubba Kush x Chemdog 4 BC3 to find something that is a little better structured. My only complaint is how the Cherry Pie grows...She gets her frame from the Urkle.

Hey guys- I will say that I spent last year going completely minimal. My soil recipe and water only. I killed it on yield and it was nice to get a "baseline" on where I stand with minimal input. I was nicely surprised actually. OK here it comes.....BUT! this year I went "all in" on aggressive foliars, really light nutrient root drenches, and consistent feeding of complex and simple sugars. Huge difference all around on bud-set, vigor, trichome production and terpene expression. That said, I just think driving plants the size we are all going for requires some extra input to achieve the quality we strive for....I now know that the extra work is worth it because I've done both. Hope this helps somebody...

I believe it. That dream looks huge even in a pic...in real life I bet she scares you in 600's. Haha. Good job dude. Seen some blue dream beasts but those nugs are well past plump compared to the usual elongated sativa type nugs. Does she still smell, look, and taste like bd? Whats she crossed with?
Thanks!

Yes, we all know how good that EWSF NorCal blend is. For those who are unaware how awesome it is, check out the Logan Labs Soil Sample Below. Calcium at 21.26%, Potassium at 67.80% and Magnesium at 9.48%, and not enough Nitrogen to grow a blade of grass. Awesome, I must admit. I thought in all your earlier posts you stated you were using the standard AEA products, not Biological Advantage. Hmmmm, time to get my glasses fixed.
Yep the pictures were rendered in Photoshop by epic orchard ! LOL , is it possible that the plants pictured could be grown with the biological advantage program and the rest with the normal AEA/et al soup normally used on everything else ? LOL man , you're funny,

First harvest of the year! Actually I accidentally busted this nug off with the ladder. Coming down the home stretch! Hope everyone's gardens are kicking ass!!
VERY NICE! You trim wet rootwise? I would think that makes you the minority on that, this year I am dry trimming for the first time. Mentally I have already committed.

Always interested in the back and forth between the wet and dry trim schools of thought.
we are doing a dry trim this year. chop the plants and big-leaf them wet, then hang dry, then into rubbermaid tubs until the trimmers get to it. The main reason is a lighter, less stressful (but longer) workload, but I also think the smoke is a little bit better when you do it dry.
what is everyone using for hang drying these days? We are probably going to put up rows of nylon trellis netting, 2' spacing on the rows, that should allow for proper airflow. Also any thoughts on selection/placement/use of fans, dehueys and heaters?

dang Rootwise- Get those bros some Chikamasa's or Fiskars lol. Also, Do you trim up everything again once its broken down off the big stems?
I used those clothes hangers years ago, last time ill ever use em. Too much of a hassle for me. I like large rooms with lengthy drying lines, stacked (so youd be looking at three lines in front of you, one at about ten ft, one at about 6 ft, and one at about 4 ft), so you can make walls of arm legth cuts hanging everywhere. Add a couple large dry-ez and hella fans, a few mr heaters and boom. 7 days later you fil up your rubbermaids, which are the perfect length for your arm length branch cuts, and take em to the cleaners... imho

Your talking about the remesh right? Using the cages as a hanger. I was on a crew that did that a couple years ago on a patch that had some overflow from the dry barn. It worked well

I'm hanging trellis netting. A lot of square footage vs single lines. One drying rack for smalls. I think I might start up tomorrow. I would like to do dry, but I am a little overwhelmed with storing it dry. One man show
