2014 Light Dep Project

What kind of smells you getting from those girls?
Allergies are destroying my sense of smell right now, but #1 is like overripe fruit, #2 is my favorite, sour/spicy..complex. #3 isn't too far off from BD. I'll get back with a better report when they're dry.

whats the difference youre seeing in the spring runs in those greenies vs summer? I had a few winter outdoor crops in so cal but they were nowhere near as dense as the summer batches. Im just saying, because those bd x 5gs look very bomb for something grown with less sun.
I ran the original seeds over the winter in the clearspan. Had a lot of sunny days but the winter angle/intensity put out almost more leaf than bud. And I had thousands on movers going. Probably won't try that again. I was still able to get an idea of the plants though..along with the BDx5G's, there were a couple females of Top Dawg Seeds' Tres Sister. One I liked, kept, and just planted in my trenches this morning for the full term.

The spring runs do pretty well up here. Last year was my first attempt and was impressed enough to try it again. The flowers are really close to the quality we see in the summer runs. I would do more spring crops, but to harvest in May, it takes up space a summer dep would need to be vegging in.

How much longer till you pull tarps on that GGs and such?
What do you usually pull per plant in the 100 gals?
Still shooting for early June flip..they're cruising. I've never ran 100's in dep, or full season for that matter. Some friends have been pulling tarp on them for a few years and see 2-3.

We might try to pull out the pallets soon. The ground is warming up and the plants are starting to suck water. The wells are good but not great..a little more retention from them being on the ground wouldn't hurt.

have u tried sourcing local honey for your allergies? i have been looking at properties with a friend who has some of the worst hay fever reactions i have ever seen... i was amazed when two teaspoons of very local honey made all symptoms disappear IMMEDIATELY... hacking, wheezing, stopped up sinuses.

I had heard about the honey/allergies thing before but thought it was like a general prophylaxis... something u take a dose of daily and have a generally higher allergen tolerance... again, I was blown away by the immediate effects this guy experienced. I am a total holistic/homeopath skeptic but I done seen it with mine own eyes...

Nomaad- I've heard of the local honey trick before, but guess I also thought it was something to take in advance of allergy season. Your report sounds promising! I'm keeping an eye out. Might hit up the farmers market.

DHF- cool seein you around..stay tuned!

Prop..thank you man. I'm eager to try some of those BDx5G's again. Think they'll be way more legit than what we saw in the winter.

Flipped a few houses at the one place..so day 2. The clearspan is getting it tomorrow I think. I picked up four pairs of Golden Arms to help pull tarp on the 20x96s. They have a website, check it out. I'm thinking it will work out well for these cold frames. Here's a quick pic from the other spot at day 2 of bloom. That romex is coming down.

Looking stellar!

What is your preferred method of ventilation when the tarp is on?

if I were set up like this, my preferred method of ventilation would be blowing myself.

fisher's is discussed a few pages back.

How many times a week are you watering these ladies? How much water per 96 footer? How many times have you bottle fed?

My 24x96 will be here on Thursday as well as a truck of Vermifire.

(50) 100 Gallon Smarties. Thanks for the inspiration.

My greenhouse is going to be very similar to yours, just a hair wider.

Have you used the golden arms yet? I am thinking of getting a friend of mine to fab some up.

I am in a totally different climate. 9000' in the Rockies. Thanks for the inspiration brotha.

Fuckin beautiful plants man!

Still deciding on exact setup for the under-tarp inline fans. I wouldn't mind running just one exhaust fan with passive intakes, if I could get away with it. Otherwise, an active intake and exhaust for each hoop.

Turbo- Sounds way cool..stoked for you bro! Been putting about 5 gallons through them daily for the past week. Should increase going into bloom. That Gorilla Glue likes to be wet. No feeds in veg, they don't need it with this soil. I may spray Calcium 25 tonight..

We're setting up the Golden Arms this week. harvestexcel.com

BF- The 101 North and Betsy are rockin. A touch lanky as the blackout tarp is robbing of some morning light. Good looking plants though. May send those into bloom tonight. Good call on those ports! So easy. 101N, left. Betsy, right.
