well it seems like i just left the 2007 grow thread ,, and here we are again already ..
so now i am in full prep mode for the next grow ,, things are going to be a bit different this time ..
firstly , finally i am on my own , yahoooooooooo . no more parteners to hold me back ....
i know in order to do a good grow ,, i will have to drag a lot more fertalizer out there than the previous 2 grows ... around 5-600 kg of chicken manure will be carried out there over the next few weeks , both raw dried stuff from the chicken farm , and pelletised stuff with additives (seaweed , blood and bone etc )
its hard work ,but a good crop of cannabis doesnt come easy , the more u put in the more u will get out , there is no doubt about it ...
i have begun to dig over the first area already , this time i am digging trenches instead of singular holes , a trench is easier to feed , can hold more plants and will make use of the soil that has not been tilled for a few years ..
in order to keep the plants sheltered and more watered when they are young ,, i dig out around shovel depth and mound up beside the trench , then add ferts , and dig into the depth of a shovel again ... this seems to be crucial in order to keep the water up to them during the dry season ...
after the ferts are dug in , i add leaf mulch to the top and will leave for around 6 weeks before planting ...
when i plant ,, ill dig a bit of perlite in aswell , and cover the top layer with a generous layer of newspaper , which will also help keep the moisture in ..
im hoping all this prep pays off given how hard it is on the old body , hehe...
one of the nicer plants from last season , nice juicy fruit flavour ...
