im sure the pics are fine brother he may just be implying your neighbors could see the whole crop

Ya thats what i thought. U see the tree with thin limbs against fence. 20 ft limbs easily bendable.Im goin to fan that tree out and hopefully block the view. We will see how that works

Goin to get soil in next couple days. Planting clones in dixi cups to get good roots before planting may 1st

If your plan was to put clone plants outside on May 1st you are a good month early. Id put out clone plants June first, harden them off in the sun/shade for 4-5 days then plug them. If you have supplemental lights outside thats a different story

3/4 happy hippie mix

1/4 compost

Finally .most the hard labor is done lol:plant grow::plant grow::plant grow:

What compost did you use? I tried the happy hippie mix last year and didn't like it but I know I didn't add the right things, just a bunch of gypsum and some bone meal I think. I have soil test results from spectrum and Logan labs for the happy hippie mix if you are interested let me know. Good luck , looks good so far but I hope that's a good neighbor in the pics cuz they are really close. Good way to break the ice too I guess .

Fresh black compost from local supplier.nice and steamy stuff. I used last year with native soil and plants loved it.

I did add about 10 percent of the soil in the holes is native dirt full of worms.

Just gotta make friends with the neighbors lol

your soil looks pretty compact.

The second pic looks pretty bad, looks like you are growing in clay or something

You put them in the ground too soon,
based on the hours of sunlight you have at your latitude in early May..

If you put more supplemental lights out there, I sure hope you have tolerant neighbors...
They're damn sure gonna know what's going on in your yard...

Those supplemental lights are also gonna tip off any rippers who happen to notice them...

Good luck!

I put them in this early so they get a nice root system. They are coming out of bud already. But growth is definitely slowed from the little baby flowers some plants put out. Others are growing great

Yes nieghbors will definitely know what going on.... But this is the spot i have to work with ...u kno i cant wait to have no neighbors that would be awesome.

Turns out i dont need to add more lights plants goin back into veg already since i adeed couple more hours of light. Im at like 20/4 hours of darkness...i will slowy bring down later as days get longer

Thanks for reply man grow on and have a good one

Time to be nice and friendly to the neighbors. It's hard to complain about someone who lends you tools and feeds your dog when you are gone. lol
