Strains will be

1# cotton candy clone
2# GG4 clone
3# cherry pie clone from selected seed
4# sour dissel clone from selected seed dating back to early 2000 personal stock.

back up strains will be (blueberry Indica x ? ) From early 2000 bagseed and a pure red string Thai stick seeds from 1970s bag seed.

Will be starting strains inside (march) and veging for 1 to 2 months and put out side in 30 gallon containers in a glass green house for the first month out side. then transpanted to 300 to 500 gallon organic soilless/soil filled potters for each plant .placed in a open areawith full sun all day (should be april -may by this point ). Then by september i will build another green house around plants to allow a full season finish .

Not sure on green house dimensions yet but i am sure it will be heated this year . my plan is to use a donated used gas fire place for heat and possibly co2 .

Decided to start a few blueberry x ? Seeds aswell for a back up should the sour d or the cherry pie seeds not work out. seeds are from early 2000 and came out of some blueberry indica bag weed from the oregon coast.

Decided to start a few 1970s red string Thai stick seeds for the hell of it. Viability is not the best (about 10% )but maybe do a big Thai tree lol.

Looking like a nice plan, great genetics choices also.
70's red string Thai stick sounds great. Can't wait to see this season.

For old seeds like the 70s Thai i force open seed pods for better germantion.

For old seeds like the 70s Thai i force open seed pods for better germantion.

With seeds older then 10 years old or seeds that have high value i first lightly sand edhes of seeds with a nail file . then soak for a few days in water .after that i pull seeds out of water . then apply presure with twizers to sides of seed shell to lightly open it enough to get a small knife in between shell opening and force open exposing seedling . then place exposed seedlings in a damp/wet paper towel in a zip lock bag and place bag in a warm dark place 70 to 75 degress till i see obvious . soon as i see a good half inch of growth seedlings then in to 4 inch potters.this technique has much higher germantion rate that is needed for old seeds.

I'm subbed for the Thai Stick tree!

No guarantees on thai tree but i do guarantee that if any of the seeds take i will do an open pollination (yes i would make them aviable by a donation to ic)and run a clone or 2 indoor.my out door garden is just a oregon rec garden and i am limited to 4 plants so the thai my not make the cut .i am not sure i can pass up doing the tree time will tell

Looking for input on my on the cheap horse manure plan ?

Looking for input on my on the cheap horse manure plan ?

I am pretty much broke for soil funds for this years out door so i was thinking of making a horse manure/native soil mix to use . i am trying to use ingredients that i all ready have .any input would be appreciated.

Native soil is the common eastern oregon sandy look.

horse manure is from a compost pile of 1 through 5 year old manure that is broke down nicely . horse's were feed alfalfa mainly but pile contains some hay from stall floors (15% or so). I can dig and only use 5 or so year old manure or only use 1 year old manure or both?

My thoughts so far are to mix

1 part native soil
1/2 part sunshine peatmoss.
1 part horse manure compost
1/3-1/2 part custom soil amendment ?

Custom soil amemdment recipe

2.5 cups grden lime ( buffer / cal-mag )
5 cups kelp meal ( 1-0.1-2 )
5 cups gandular humic acid ( no npk value )
5 cups neam seed meal ( 6-1-2 / pest detorant)
5 cups alfalfa meal ( 2.5-0.5-2.5 /growth hormone )
5 cups high phosphorus bat guano ( 0-7-0 )
1 medium bag/ part fine organic Diatomaceous earth ( calcium/ silicon / pest detorant/low k stabalizer )
1 bag/part .5 cu ft worm castings ( nitrogen/potash)
1 bag/part .5 cu ft ancient forest ( humus )
1 bag/part .5 cu ft mushroom compost ( beneficial fungi )
1/3 of a 5 gallon bucket chicken manure high in calcium (from my laying chickens ) also cotanins about 10% pine/ceder beding and about 10% fire place ash. ( npk diversity )

The final soil mix will be watered with high brix molasses and allowed to sit for at least 45 days .
