Welcome to my new grow, guys
It's been a while since I posted an official journal here, but hopefully this one will make up for all these shadow years
This grow will be an outdoor guerilla grow, 100% organic in terms of soil and in terms of fertilizers as well. It will be done in northern Italy, around 45°N. For Americans (yeah, you are definitely a majority here), the climate here is somehow akin to Northern California or Southern Oregon (more or less) with very long season (I could keep growing until December if I wanted to).
In a nutshell, spring is rainy, but warm, summer is very hot and humid, and autumn starts usually in the second half of October with heavy showers and sudden rise in humidity, but we get first snow around December/January. And temperatures start going down around late November, which gives me an opportunity to grow almost any strain I want, providing it's not susceptible for mould.
This grow will be done in two spots/patches. Last year I did a test run with one of these to clear it for further growing and I was successful - both plants were harvested by the end of October - so I'm gonna use it again with 10 plants this time. Let's call it The Shady Spot as it's hidden in the forest and it doesn't get maximum sun exposure, but has enough light for the plants to grow. Another spot has never been tested, but has plenty of light as it's on southeastern slope (my area is quite hilly) and here I'm gonna put 4 plants (starting small with a new spot is what I prefer). Let's call it the The Sunny Spot.
Soil I have here is brownish loam with plenty of minerals. It's more on the clay side with just a little bit of sand, but with decent amount of organic matter in the upper layer. The Shady Spot has been cleaned up with shears last season, fertilized with wood ash in February, and then dug up well with a shovel as there were plenty of blackberry roots (some as thick as 3"), and then cut again with wood ash and wood chips. The Sunny Spot has been cut with garden compost, biochar and bamboo leaves (silica). Both will be amended again in two-three weeks with crushed sandstone, powdered egg shells, worm castings and blood meal.
Seeds were bought from Herbie's Seeds (one of great sponsors of this forum) and will be germinated in 5-6 days as I'm currently waiting for the new moon. If you like what you're reading, check the post below to find out what strains I'm gonna grow...
