Hello everyone who stops by. I don't know what other growers in ND. are up to but this is what's going on in my part of the world.
This is a list of the genetics I'm running this year. It is sativa dominant with two pure Indica gems.

The seed breeders I used are ( Ace seeds, CannaBioGen, Original Delicatessen and Bohdi Seeds). Many of the genetics are testers in case you don't see them on the Ace website. The genetics quality is fantastic and the service is as good as it gets in the industry. The pictures you see are the plants you get. ( when grown properly)

ANGOLA X KALI CHINA, ZAMALDELICA X KALI CHINA, ORIENT EXPRESS X NEPJAM, ZIPOLITE OAXACAN, ACAPULCO GOLD, DESTROYER, PURPLE MALAWI, PEYOTE PURPLE, PURPLE MEXICAN, GUAWI, GOLDEN TIGER, NEW MALAWI KILLER, PINK HAIR MALAWI X MAPETTIT, LILLY X MAPETTIT, MICHOACAN CREAM, QUEEN MOTHER, CHINA YUNNAN, NEPJAM X KALI CHINA,
All plants are in at least 35 gallon root pouch grow bags. Some are in 45 gallon root pouch grow bags. There is one 40 gallon black plastic grow pot.
The plants are in a greenhouse without a blackout system. There will only be one grow per year. Most growers already know what indoor facilities will provide for production and quality. Greenhouse growing of cannabis has never been done in ND for a large scale operation. This is only a test facility to build upon. Peace

First off, Where are the CBD strains? They are being perfected right now in Spain. They will be available to ND. patients next year. These CBD strains are vastly better than what will be offered by the new grow facilities. That have been crippled by our legislators. $100,000 license fee limits ND. patients to the fastest flowering Ruderalis crosses. Yes there will be many Indica offerings as well. That will consist of two or three strains crossed multiple times, then sold as the latest greatest thing to ever be smoked. (It's a lie)


100% organically grown in soil medical cannabis. Beautifully fed with sunshine. You don't need hype to feel better you need quality. Peace

There are several more plants to share with you. That will have to be another time. I need to check on the girls one more time today. It has been 110 degrees in the greenhouse. They are going through some water as of late. I hope you all have a great rest of the week. Thank you for stopping by to see what one grower in ND is up to. Peace

Nice, living the dream farmerlion.

Packerfan79, Thank you for stopping by. I would be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying the grow. I'm still butt hurt over the Steelers loss in our last Super Bowl loss to the Pack. Looking forward to the rematch. Have a great and safe weekend. Peace

Whatever you are doing, it is working. Plants look very healthy and vigorous. Care to share a little information about the organic amendments you are using in your soil?

Lol, I like The variety is nice. Steelers are a good, old fashion smash mouth football team. I like that lol. Definitely a good match up.

Sforza, Not a problem my friend. I keep things very simple so it's hard to screw things up. I used Pro Mix peat moss 35-40%, Natures choice bag soil with worm castings. I bought both these Items at Walmart. The Peat moss was $17.00 a large bag and the Natures Choice was $9.89 for the 56L bag. At Planet Natural in Bozeman Mont.(Great place to shop online). I bought 30# bags of worm castings. 2ea. I mixed in 5 pounds roughly of worm castings with each grow bag. I'm using 35 - 45 gallon (Root Pouch) bags. I also use 1lb. of chicken poop and 2 lbs. of sheep manure per pot.(Walmart, Home Depot, Menards). I have found you lose a little more moisture through the sides of the bags compared to grow tubs. Next season I will put 10#'s of worm castings in to offset additional moisture loss. With a heavy sativa genetics lineup. I don't add extra nitrogen. I let the plants pull what they need out of the castings. I mixed the three soil bases in a large calving tub and then filled the bags until full. I lightly compressed the soil as I filled. When all bags were filled in position inside greenhouse. I covered the top of the soil with more worm castings. This get flushed down into the soil with each watering. I have done two feedings so far. I have used Alaskan Brands fish emulsion called MoreBloom for a few years now. There is only P and K in it no N. With the long flowering sativa's if you use Supplemental fertilizers. It is real easy for your soils to get out of control by the end of flowering. Ph's can climb very quickly. Flowering isn't the time to be flushing your soil. Over watering stresses your plants and slows production. That is compounded by salts, chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, ect. I don't use any of them ever. Back to Planet Natural, I buy Lady Bugs 2,000 for $14.00 They do a great job on aphids and other little pests. I leave every spider I find in the greenhouse unharmed. I bought a cheap Rapitester for checking soil moisture down 6". While watering one plant I have the tester in another. It will read 1-4 1 being dry 4 being wet. I know you only asked for amendments Sforza. This all works hand in hand. At 4 I do nothing, let it use what it has. At 1 & 2 I water and then come back to that plant and give it a little more until it reads 3. I don't try and water them to a 4. I do have some soil mixes that hold water better than others. My two Indica plants are in a 30 to 35% Peat moss compared to the Satinas at 40%. I can't stress enough water quality. Get a pool test kit from Walmart (again) It will give you your Ph, alkalinity, free chlorine, hardness, and two other readings I can't remember off the top of my head. From acidic to alkaline is your Ph reading. Your Ph and your alkalinity of your water are two different animals. It's fairly complex to explain the difference. I suggest you Google it. It will help your future grows immensely. 90% of this is preparation before you germinate your first seeds. Then it becomes simple. Check the soil moisture and water accordingly. I don't feed plants until the 7th to 8th nodes of growth. I feed again when the plants are forming the 12th node of growth. One cup of More Bloom in 5 gallons of water. My flowering will start August 23rd. Natural light cycle. No blackout system in this greenhouse. Indoors I started the flowering earlier. June 7th to 10th. Harvest 1st week of October some strains. End of the month for others. During flowering I use 1/4 cup of More Bloom per 5 gallons with every watering. (for Indica plants.) Sativas 1/8 cup works well.
Sforza, It's not my intension to tell you how to grow. My goal isn't to offend you or anyone else who reads this. I don't claim to know it all and I certainly don't think everybody else is clueless. This works very well. I hope it helps you and others with their growing. Have a great weekend . Peace
