Hello everyone and welcome to my newest grow log. This will be my 3rd grow, 1 outdoor harvest and 1 indoor harvest under my belt. Both were run with organic super soils. I plan on using 4 30 gallon smart pots, buried into the ground. I'm running 2 different soil mixes as a test to see what I like more so far. My first batch will be 60 gallons of Batch 64 coco, Peat Moss, Compost both worm and horse, Perlite. To this I'm amending Bone, Blood, Kelp Meals, Espoma bio tone, Espoma plant tone, Greensand, Agricultural limestone, and Rock Dust. The soil mix I have been using is the same mix just happy frog potting soil substituted for coco. All amendments are from Espoma, compost is sourced locally! No critters to worry about here so blood and bone meal isn't a problem for me to use. I have 2 of the 4 plants in solo cups getting ready to transplant them to 1 gal containers. I have to get 2 more clones but I plan on them beening the same strain to help with control of the tests. More updates to come next week when I order everything and start mixing up batches of soil! Stay tuned!

Ended up with 2 SUPER healthy GDP clones, and I'm currently sprouting 6 Riserva Privada Mammoth seeds. Decided to scale back to 20 gallons a 4 plants outdoor, Also decided I'm not going to be using any pots, just digging 20 gallon pits and putting 4 posts around the corners of my plants, this way if we get hail I can just run out and throw a tarp over my babies. Super excited to get this going! Stay tuned for more I'll add pictures of my growing space tomorrow! For now heres the strain details on RPs Mammoth and a picture of my GDP in bud and the clones vegging away in my closet! GDP NUGS Far shot! Clones for outside, Already almost an inch thick at the stem base! Strain: Mammoth (SnoCap x LA Confidential) Recommended experience level: Beginner Friendly Female: SnoCap About the mother: Overview: In a word, Monstrous! If you're looking to pull down nuggets the size of your calf and as dense as a rock… look no further. The frosty snowcapped nuggets are pineapple shaped and sized. The highest flower to leaf ratio of any strain we've come across, this one will also delight you come trimming time. Yield: highest 650-1350g / 1000W Flowering time: 70 days Growth stature: Tall Vigorous growth throughout both vegetative and flowering cycle. Does not like to be trained laterally, so put her in early or make sure to hack her back quite a bit before flowering if you have height restrictions. Nugget type and density: Think about the biggest nuggets you've ever seen… then think bigger… then think even bigger. The density of these nuggets is the thing of legend as well, nearly twice the weight of a comparably sized nugget from just about any other strain. Unique strain traits and oddities of mother: Rock hard softball sized nuggets Monster yields 3 bags happy frog 43 g coco 57.5 g compost/ewc 40 g pertile 22 g peat 13 c blood 18 c bone 8 c kelp 35 c lime 10 c espoma plant 10 c espoma bio 10 c epsom salts 34 c Rock Dust
This is the final mix I'll be using I add 3 cups of pre mixed bone,blood,kelp, and alfalfa meals, Espoma Plant Tone. Then I add 1 cup agricultural lime and 4 cups rock dust to each cubic foot of mix. Will be about 25 gallons a plant! I'm going to use large tomato cages to help with tying down my plant, depending on how big they get I'll also go get netting if needed. Looking to have everything ready and cooked by mothers day! 45 gallons happy 30 gallons peat 15 gallon batch 64 15 gallons compost/EWC .5 cu Lava rock pertile as needed
Beans are popping had success on all the seeds, Going to be planting them either tomorrow or the next day. Still waiting on earthworm castings rock dust and kelp meal to arrive at my house. Going to be picking up a square yard of compost when they arrive and then mixing everything up. Going to just use a huge tarp on my back porch and mix all my soil and aeration to cook until mothers day.
