Hi all,

I;m back again for another year of backyard growing in the bay area. Got a new location and abit more room than last year (link to last years grow in my sig)... I really did oull this one out of my ass, i didnt even know this place was an option until THREE WEEKS AGO, and since the spot i was at last year fell through, i made this happen ASAP... Luckily i still had all the starts and just brought everything over to the new spot (soil and all) and set up shop... i kinda like doing a hit and run.. one year grow in a suburban backyard then move locations the next year, seems alot safer that way..

I'll be updating this initial page of the next couple days to make it pretty with pics/soil recipe/liquid nute recipe/pest IPM program,, ect..

so stay tuned....

Here's a shot of the 2016 garden from 5/29, got all the fencing up, plants transplanted into 65 gallon smart pots.. ill be doing x10 65 gal smart pots and a few 45's and 30's...






so far the strains ill be growing full term are....

Clones:
x6 Cookie Frost (Platinium GSC x Thin Mint GSC) BEST YIELDING OUTDOOR COOKIE PHENO IVE FOUND.. (ill make a post of last years cookie frost later, its a special lady)
x1 Do-si-dos (GSC x Face Off OG)
x1 Black Lime Reserve (Black lime x Chemdawg special reserve)
x1 Royal Truth (Royal kush x The truth)

untested seed phenos:
x1 Stink Bomb (Pittsburg catpiss x Face off og) Will be doing a bunch of crosses with this strain so stay tuned
x1 Sour Sunset (Aj's Sour D x Sunset Sherbet) This is a SUPER vigorous strain, all the starts are consistently taller and more developed then the other 4 strains i have growing with it...

Soil MIX is a mix of 3 yds of recycled soil from last grow and then 1.5-2yds of fresh coots mix (with less gypsum and added CaCo3), i can tell the soil from last year is just getting better and better, all the humus and castings top dresses last year and really charging this soil and making it awesome! Re-ammended with 1/2 recommended dosage of coots mix with some alfalfa and bio-live mixed in.. with some fresh SF nematodes sprayed in for good measure with EM1...

Now lets see some pics of this BADASS cookie frost from last year so you guys see why i filled half the garden with her, and still am wondering if i should put more out :P....

And as always i pray everyday to the ganja gods that they will let me have a safe and successful harvest this season, and i wish the best of luck to all you as well!!! Stay safe and happy folks!

Ok now lets check out COOKIE FROST.. (Platinum GSC x Thin Mint GSC)... a super vigerous, sativa leaning, gsc pheno that yields like a beast, and works GREAT outdoors, super thin leaves for ease of trimming and help with mold/bug prevention.. and looks like some FIRE indoor..

got 2.5 pounds off a 45 gallon pot last year... and i had to keep it under 6'... now lets see how i do in multiple 65's with no height restrictions!!!

Thanks guys, glad to see some familiar faces around, best of luck on ur guys outdoors grows this year as well..

Hopefully this is my last year doing this small backyard grow, working with a loan officer and realtor to get my credit established before I can get some acreage.. Hopefully next years grow will be the real show :-)

I agree, nothing better than farming on your own patch of dirt, we've had our 15 acres for a while now so it is starting to look pretty good with a bit of elbow grease.
