Ok so here is what I have done so far.
Outdoor 2011 Grow Log
1) 3/15
a. Got 2 Mendo Purps clones and a DJ Short Blueberry clone(This was a surprise from a friend)
b. Both have been in 1 gal grow bag(coco) since 1/10 and are in need of TLC
c. Have my 12’x12’ grow area scoped and have been soaking for 2 days
d. Each of 9 plants get a 4’x4’ area
e. Holes will be dug approx. 2’6” – 3’ deep and 2’ diameter.
f. Found a bag of Miracle Grow Organic soil I plan to mix with the coco and very little native soil.
g. Native soil is mostly silt and clay
2) 3/16
a. 16oz of water each this morning
b. Noticed spider webs covering the whole BB plant and cleaned them off
c. Put a weak ass light in the bathtub with the 3 girls due to rain

4) 3/19
a. Picked up:
i. 4 bags of Black Gold – Organic Potting Soil – 2 Cu Ft each - $14 each

Any advice is welcomed with open ears/eyes.
Tomorrow should be going to Home Depot to get the:
Chicken Manure
Blood Meal
Mulch
Minimal Gardening tools
Chicken Wire/Something suitable for keeping all types of animals out(mostly cags and german shepards that we own)
Am I missing anything guys? I live far from where these supplies are sold at. I hope I do this right.
UPDATE:
5) 3/20 - Sun
a. Got the rest of the soil mixture:
i. Mulch
ii. Blood Meal
iii. Chicken Manure

6) 3/21 – Mon
a. Found old bathtub on property.
Washed it out and bleach it out because who knows what is growing on it. Made 1 batch of Don Saucy’s Super Soil(LMAO – Took a little bit of different sources and made mine to work with my environment.) With the help of a handy friend we lifted the tub onto 2 large dog kenels and propped the side without the drain as to allow drainage. I am going to do 1 of 2 things with the run off of the soil for the next 2 weeks:
i. Keep pouring it back on the soil
ii. Keep it as a concentrate for when watering the plants.
iii. Any suggestions on this? Or how wet to keep my soil for the next 2 weeks?
b. Sprinkled a little of everything from Don Saucy’s Super Soil on the top of each plant, mixed it in the top 1”-2” then gave each plant 1/2gal of water. Drink up Girls, this has been your first food since 3/14 – Mon.
7) 3/22 – Tue
a. Went and got a few of my indoor supplies from storage because the weather is supposed to be horrible and not transplant to ground friendly.
i. 150W HPS
ii. 2 fans
iii. Airpump(keep runoff from soil from going bad)
iv. Ghetto ass top feed/drip system
v. Nutrients(in-case I want a hydro plant going at all times)
vi. Oh yeah and the most important tool, what’s left from my old 3 perc bong that was only 18” tall. It was a champ.
b. Checked on the soil when I got home at 6 this evening. Wow that retains a lot of water. I’m kinda of worried it retains too much water. In 24 hours I have only got 5 gals of runoff(this could be because my helpful friend flooded it on accident???).Could this be because I have a bathtub full of soil and its only source of drainage is a 1 ½” holt at one end?
UPDATE:
8) 3/23 – Wed
a. Gave the girls a 150W HPS light for 18 hours a day since the weather is keeping them indoors for now.
9) 3/24 – Thur
a. The girls have been in a bathtub since I have had them so today I built a poor mans impromptu grow tent. Helped a lot with my low temp problems. I was running from 55-60 now I got it up to 65-70.
b. Added a fan to the mix.
c. Added a Sun System light pulley for making life a lot easier. I recommend this product.
10) 3/26 – Sat
a. The 2 Mendo Purp girls are starting to look better and showing some promising new growth.
b. BB is still looking sickly but I think I see new growth but that could just be wishful thinking.
c. A friend pointed me to a local collective that has some beautiful and healthy clones so we went to check it out. I ended up leaving with 6 total which happened to be the total I was looking for.
2 – Super Silver Haze
2 – Super Sour Diesel
2 – Blue Dream
d. I have 4” pots that I have coco in that is being pretreated with nutrients for transplanting. I will be using a GH feeding schedule until they are strong enough to be safe in the soil.
