Camo Pots w/Mj-Mama

Hi, I'm MjMama and I LOVE growing marijuana outdoors here in beautiful Northern California. I'll be growing in-ground in a raised flower bed as well as in camo pots (a product I'm very loyal to). Camo pots are a type of aeration container that allows more air flow to the roots of the plant, stimulating more root growth--therefore producing healthier plants and bigger buds. These containers also help avoid root rot and root bound plants because of the air trimming of the roots that happens naturally as they grow to the edge of the container.

This season I'll be using masters pride soil. For nutrients I'll be sticking with the Fox Farms line again. Grow Big for veg and Tiger Bloom for flower. I'll also use molasses every other watering throughout the entire grow.

I'm starting the season by putting out 3 clones I've been vegging under a T5 over the winter. 1 Purple Urkle ,1 Green Crack, and 1 unknown strain. Because of the short days right now they should flower just like they would in the fall and finish by late April/early May when I will put out more clones that i have vegging. This way I can get two full outdoor harvests in one year. I've done this the past two years.

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading and enjoy the journal. I update often and post lots of pics so stay tuned. These are the first pics of this years garden.

 

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to this season myself.

 

It was my top priority to get a good start to this season. It got really cold last night so I wrapped blankets around the plants. The tomato cages work perfectly to drape them over. I'm about to go unwrap them now that the suns coming up.

 

LOL I'm not always clever either. Just glad to have your company for the grow. The only problem with growing urkle is the yield. It grows SO slow!

Thanks! I'm thrilled to be getting started.

 

Here's a few pics of how I had the plants covered last night. Tomorrow should be the last night of weather in the 30's for a while.

 

Thanks guys! I'll try to make it an exciting journal for you. I can't get the iPhone app to post pics again. I was going to post some pics of the tree we're cutting down to give more light to the garden. This tree is huge. It towers over my 3 story house.

 

This is the pic I wanted to show you guys. This tree blocks a ton of light to my garden, so the hubby and I have been cutting it down. No lifts or chainsaws. Just good old fashioned labor, lol. He climbs up, cuts limbs, then I trim them and put them in the waste bin. It's hard work but it will be SO worth it to get more light to my ladies. It's hard to see him all the way up there. He looks like a speck!

 

I know! He's crazy the way he climbs. I've seem his shimmy up a FAT redwood faster than a cat. I'm not sure how the hell he does it.
