This is my first outdoor grow ever I have built a 40x40 garden had 6 yards of compost delivered on top of 1000 lbs of cow Pro grow organic fertilizer and a nice layer of lime. I tilled it up until my whole upper body was lobstered from the sun which took about 4-5 hours. Northern lights, dream machine and the dream machine were all clones that I cut in November they were about 6-7 feet tall each when I put them in the garden at the end of may. I buried the stems up about 2-3 feet staked them up and I must say for amateur hour, they don't look half bad. I have a headband an ak-47 and a G-13 plant also that I got as clones and put them in just after I planted the big boys and my little guy.
Nice, Have fun! If you can get your hands on some mulch then you can slow the water vap. process and it stops/slows weed from growing.
yes mulch would help but ive already invested way to much into this garden ill just keep pulling the weeds myself I like being outside anyhow and feel like the more work I put into it the more I deserve whatever ol mama nat will bless me with
Looking good dude! I wish I could plant mine in the ground like that but I'm limited to 10 gallon pots this season
