I'm starting this journal to share my efforts to grow high quality bud on a fairly low budget (at least at this time). This years harvest will be miniscule compared to last years, but at least it's cheaper than buying my smoke and I love growing weed, so. It also gets me out of the burb I moved to this past winter and back to nature. I took some pictures of my outdoor plants today, as well as a couple nature pics of the spot in the woods I was at. After I watered the plants I sat in the shade and had a bong. It's a good feeling to sit in the middle of nowhere (or something like that) in the woods and smoke up. I come from a small town where it's easy to find places like this. The plants are tiny because we had 3-4 weeks of rainy weather at the start of summer rather than the scorching 30 degree heat that usually starts about 3 days before June 1st. (I just moved back here, but have previously lived in this city for a decade.) Hopefully with the top dressing I gave them before I watered they will perk up more and gain a bit more in size. They are each growing in a small amount of promix surrounding the coco fibre pots with triple mix and EWC sitting on top of the soil surface (in an attempt to add fertility to the soil as I would like to use this same plot for years to come). I will post what strains the different pictures are in my next post, the list is on my other phone and I'm too lazy to go and grab it right now. Sent from my SM-A205G using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I just created this account, and I don't think I have permission to post the rest of the pictures yet. We'll see in a couple days and after I've posted a bit more. Sent from my SM-A205G using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Oh okay, so it's not just me. Pretty much all the soil on the hillside the plants are on is that gray clay, so I'm planning to dig actual holes for plants to grow in post-harvest and fill them with a mix of promix, peat moss, maybe 10-15% triple mix, EWC, (leaves?), soil amendments, and whatever other nutritional organic matter I can find. I know the fresh foliage or organic matter won't be completely composted by the time I start growing in these holes next season, but I'm hoping to 1: improve and enrich the soil surrounding the plant sites, and 2: create a slurry of sorts of organic matter that will bring life to my pot plants as well as teeming with biological life for many years to come.

Woops, I am back on my other account now. Forgot I was back on the other phone. Sent from my SM-A037W using Grasscity Forum mobile app
I haven't tested it. I guess we'll see how well the plants do. I only added the quality soil as a filling around the coco fibre pots when I transplanted, so the roots will be trying to push their way through it by now. Sent from my SM-A037W using Grasscity Forum mobile app
