Well, the suns shining bright and the lady bugs are out in numbers, so it seems like it's time for this years grow journal. I'll be keeping things a little bit smaller this season, so as not to attract unwanted attention. Last year we had 3 knuckle headed teenagers with a riffle steel half of our crop. SMH... We've added a lot of extra security this season, including new security cameras and our now 7 month old German Shepherd, Diesel. The grow will be using all organic super soil in raised beds. Organic pest control. Pretty much the same recipes and format I used last season. I'll post the recipe in my next comment. The plants will all be fem seeds from attitude. I couldn't miss that birthday promo. Here's my line up. Stacked Kush Sour Kush 818 Headband Blue OG Black Sugar Rose Flowerbomb Kush So far I've only cracked the Sour Kush and Stacked Kush. My order from attitude just came with the rest. I hope everyone enjoys the grow!
My super soil recipes for small and large batches. I used per plant (approximately 6x8x3 of previously amended soil) 1 bag bumper crop compost 1 bag worm castings 1/2 bag chicken manure 5 lbs kelp 5 lbs alfalfa 3 lbs guano 3 lbs rock phosphate 4 lbs bone meal 1 cup blood meal 10 cups rock dust 4 cups green sand 4 cups lime 3 cups oyster shell 2 cups azomite 1/2 cup humic acid For Smaller Batches 2 cubic ft organic soil 5 lbs worm castings 5 lbs compost 1/2 lb kelp 1/2 lb alfalfa 1/2 lb steamed bone meal 1/4 lb blood meal 10 ounces high p bat guano 6 ounces rock phosphate 2 cups rock dust 1/2 lime 1/2 cup azomite 1/2 cup green sand 1/2 cup oyster shell 1 tablespoon humic acid
Should up that rock dust to 2 to 4 cups percubic foot dolomite limenot neccessary but i usually do half andhalf with the oyster shell to get good mag in there. Recipes look pretty good though.
Oh and i hope you invested in a weapon of your own for your protection aswell. Sent from my EVO using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Hey buddy, thanks for stopping by the new thread! I have lime and oyster shell in the recipe already. I could always add more rock dust next time I turn my soil. Although my base soil has a good amount of native soil with natural mineral content, plus lots of rock dust from last season. I don't think it's lacking at all. If I was mixing my soil from scratch I would probably add more. But I'm working with some pretty lush dirt ATM.
I'm glad you like the title hahahaha. I couldnt resist once I thought of it. We just inherited some weaponry for a relative that had to go into a care home. But I'm hoping not to ever need it. Violent crimes are rare in my little town. The punk kids that ripped me last season were from out of town, and are still going through the court systems now. Idiots. Guns or not, we aren't push overs.
true that my bad was thinking fresh soilmix and yeah being in ground probably have plenty minerals down there. Aww yeah should be a sexy dirt this year. Even better than last. The beauty of super soil. Ages like fine wine.
neither are we thats why we survived 2 years at theoldplace eventhough it was always open to the world. 24/7 watch for 2 years at a time was interesting to say the least. Its called dedication. not many could have done what I did was a tough situation so Impretty proud ofmyself.
No doubt. Growing can be hard work! I've been enjoying getting out in the sun and mixing my soil. It's the most physical labor I've done since having the baby. I need it. I've got all my amendments added and half the soil mixed so far. This years challenge will be keeping the pup out of the plants.
Hey girl! Welcome to the grow. I'm aiming for short/wide plants with lots of tops this season. What's your game plan? Got anything started yet?
I've popped some beans( literally put them in cups yesterday)not sure what's all going where yet but I popped Purpd Lemon skunk Cheesequake Wappa Green crack Black sugar rose Critical kush Cotton candy Ice Bubba kush Purple widow x crazy train Then I picked up some xxx and platinum bubba clones the other day just a couple so I can bush them out then chop em up for babies.... Im going to do 3 plants in that plot that had 6 last year. 1 plant in the raised bed where those bag seed plants were. Plus a few 65 gal and 45 gal smarties. That's the plan atm anyways haha
Sounds like a good plan. More space per plant always pays off. Let me know which bubba you like best. Thats a strain I'd love to grow again in the future.
Bubba Kush 2.0 fem seed plant from HSO. Mike gifted her to me when we all met at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. She is gonnabe a beast and im gonna take cuts so if anyone wants onelet meknow.
21 % thc andhigher yielding supposedly so we will see how it does against the original i had in the past. From the looksof it should be astrongperformer.
What's the genetics? I'm sitting here enjoying a nice OG joint from last seasons stash. Half Deadhead OG and half OG18. 100% tasty.
Good to see a new thread Mjmama! luck you can start so early. Might be trying the Black Sugar Rose and Flowerbomb Kush too, don't know much about either.
It'll be nice having serval of us growing the same strain so we can compare notes. Another GC friend highly recommended the Sugar Black Rose, so I swapped it for another strain I was going to run. And the Flowerbomb Kush sounds like a winner to me. Great genetics.
