I don't miss outdoor growing for those same reasons, so much work involved and then lost so many plants over the summer

Amen penny. It is so much work to gear up for outdoor. My spring is going to be so busy that I'm starting outdoor season tomorrow. If my partner is free anyway. I have hopes of cutting a new trail to one of my mountains where the big beaver dam is. Probably a good half mile of cutting. And then I have some big trees to drop all around in my current spots. I plan on bucking up trees this year and using them as outdoor pots to flower in. I'm going to just stack logs 3 high and 36" long into a big square. Fill the centers with dirt. Raised beds work the best anyway so I'm doing raised beds made with super soil. I'm making super soil by the dump truck load this year. Got about 5 tons of manure composting already and easily 60 tons of top soil stripped from a few years ago. I gotta go get a couple tons of chicken shit and a pallet of Pete moss. Then some amendments.

Inside my raised beds I'm going to use the hugelkultr method of old rotten fungus logs in the center bottom of the hole. It will act like a sponge and any droughts we get this year won't bother them at all. Roots will stay moist and eliminate any yellowing.
Dry outdoor plants = mold problems
The plants dry up and you get yellowing leaves that die and either stay hanging on the plant or fall off and land on lower branches. Once cold weather and dew hits these leaves get moist and pretty much instantly start to mold. One leaf can mold on a lower branch and spread all the way up.
No yellow leaves = no mold in the fall

But yeah lots of work for outdoor. Then the constant cloning and transplanting all spring and winter. Eeeeek it's scary because I'm lazy lol but I def plan on doing 300 plants this year which will make it rewarding come October.
 
We always dug pits spaced out along a ridge top. They might find a plant here and there but rarely found entire pit sites. Lots of work hauling soil and supplies in.

Yeah I grew on top of the mountain last year. Never doing that again. Too hard getting up there with water and everything. Never again lol now I'm driving to them or I'm not putting them out lol

hey friends!
How do you all like the new buckets!!!!!?????

I'm going to give my plants member names from here on out. My current 3 favorites.

Keep an eye out to see if you pop up on the next batch!!!
 
Hey Roost! Sorry I'm late, busy day here. Sorry to hear work sucked but when that check comes in you'll have forgotten all about that ;). I was thinking about stacking your veg tent while I was reading of your woes but then you mentioned it! I wonder if you could just side mount two four-bulb T8 fixtures on end for even coverage, and they draw hardly any amps. If you get the wide kind they should spread the love around to keep the clones growing. 4' bulbs might cover 3 shelves depending on how tall everything is getting.

Hope your Saturday night went well and try to stay calm while the world of birthing roils the waters around you. You be the tent pole everyone else can hang from :thumb:
 
Keep paying it forward Roost. Spread the love :circle-of-love:
 
Sweet! That horned one is cray :).

The gorilla bomb smells like no other my friend.
It's a sad time for this strain. We have decided to cut her out of our genetic line up. The smell is second to none. I mean none. It smells like sweet berries and freshly cut cedar. But unfortunately she's a real stretcher during flower and she lacks the ability to grow a hearty stalk. Great bud to smoke and appreciate but not really a strain for the serious cultivator st heart.
It is a sad farewell to the gorilla bomb but definitely a beautiful last hoorah! She has been scrogging for quite some time now. I have filled the scrog net twice and then hacked the branches right off to the lower growth and let them fill back up. She's been topped a good 100 times I'd say lol I continue to cut her back and scrog her daily. Once my flower room is empty I'll stick little pino in there and give her and dabs and penny some real power lights and veg for another week and that's when I'll stop cutting tops on all of these plants and let them explode. The gorilla is just waiting and waiting for all the stress to stop. She's building a massive root system compared to what's on the top side and once I stop beating her up she's going to be the biggest in the tent. I had to build a little bit bigger scrog for her because I knew the 20" scrogs wouldn't be able to contain her.

She's going to be the biggest of the bunch pino!!! And it's bomb smoke! My favorite
