Greetings from Michigan

[Althegardener2]

Greetings, I'm a professional horticulturalist, Master Gardener and certified nurseryman. Haven't grown cannabis since I had one bonsai'd in the late 70s. About ready to harvest my first crop of auto Amnesia, started some Dark Devils and Sour lowryders yesterday for indoors and got some free seeds with my last order that were photos so reluctantly they are going out in the old chicken pen (Bruce Banner). Also started Tajikistani hash and really hoping to pull clones off those into perpetuity.
Hoping to group up with any other Michigan growers and very much into the learning every detail phase. Never tried to grow a semi-tropical annual in the house so we'll see how things work out. But the Amnesia is about two weeks from coming down so I'm happy. Going as organic as possible, composting anyway for the gardens so using that and Neptune's Tom/Veg and then Rose/Bloom, and bought my only supplement, Cal-Mag, as I'm growing under a cheapo LED.

Awesome site.
Al

[TurboBucket]

Wow master Gardener and professional horticulturist. These pesky weeds should be no problem for you, care to show off your results?

Welcome from Central MI by the way

 

[MochaBud]

to Al...I'm a professional stoner (retired) and would be glad to help you test your product for the excellence we here at 420 strive to achieve ...

Just really started flowering beginning of this week. Being sativa dominant they did get tall, but I fimmed them at about four weeks so I kept them down to manageable

level since they are sitting on a desk in my bedroom. lol

 

[Althegardener2]

Hey there central MI! And sure I'll share, once I get the hang of this. Next crop will all be LST'd, and I'm hoping to do that with the Banner as honestly I didn't order those seeds and didn't really want a 12 foot tall monster so I'll be doing some hefty pruning and bending. I'm digging into any outdoor photo grow forum areas since I've only been studying the autos up til now. But hey you know, free seeds....

 

[WilliamJBud]

Welcome These girls will be planted in central Michigan on Friday. Good luck. This is my first outdoor grow

 

[Althegardener2]

Awesome. With this weather I don't even have all of my tomato plants in the ground yet, lol. This will be my first outdoor grow, too (except that one time in North Carolina but that's another story). I'll have to follow your adventures since we're suffering under the same lousy spring.

 

[WilliamJBud]

Sounds good.

 

[StoneOtter]

Hey Al, welcome. Lots of fun and informative folk her. Sounds like a good time to me. Glad to hear from you.

You might want to check out and maybe add to the thread for Michigan growers found on the 420 msg board. It is titled Michigan Growers Unite and the link is:

Have a great but rainy day.

 

[Althegardener2]

Rain/mud/mud/mud............I'll do that thanks, once I scrape my boots off...

 

[SmokingWings]

Mud? In my corner of the state it is not mud, just wet sticky clay. Sticks to the bottom of the shoes and to any garden tools. One good thing is that we have not had much in the way of blazing hot days with the humidity higher than the temps.

 

[Orlando Scout]

Welcome from Northern Mi!!
Im running my first outdoor batch this year as well.

 

[WilliamJBud]

Looking really nice and healthy. Keep up the good work
