So... here we go again. One complete trip around the sun... and it almost time to put em in the ground again.
I'll get right to it. I'm going to be running an intensive grow this year with up to 99 plants... not sure if that many will fit into all the nooks and crannies of the 1/3 acre or so that I grow in.
There will be about 20 or 22 in 200 gallon smartpots (there were 18 of these last year) and most of them will be Blue Dream and possibly, Pineapple Cough... I am not going for 15 pound monsters this year because I simply don't have the room for it in my garden. I also feel like I would not be able to grow the same kind of quality with that kind of yield. If I do a second garden this year I will make room for a couple of Godzillas in 400 gallon pots. I am hoping to pull down a respectable 5lbs per plant in the 200's this year.
This year's Black Box is going to be jam packed with lots of sourD, OG Kush, J1, a Bubba Kush I call "Bubbz", Clueberry, a bit of Deep Purple, Some Purple Trainwreck, some pre98 Bubba, and there will probably be a few more additions... I'm even hoping to trade some big plants over the next few weeks. I'll be doing 18 in 65 gallon pots and then filling in the all the extra space with pots of all sizes... its going to be a complete sea of green. I'll probably run a total of about 65 plants in the black box.
In the Greenhouse, I am going to be running 9 Collins Cough (13 week finisher in standard greenhouse runs) with the top off the greenhouse. When the autumn weather starts to set in, I'll zip the greenie back up and finish them off till around xmas in the warm and cozy dome.
The Black box will be down by July 15th this year... at that time, I will refill the black box hoop houses with another round of 65 plants that have already been vegged to fill 10 gallon pots... I'll probably pot em up to 20's and let em flower with the big ones under the sun.
Right now, I have the first 99 vegging in the dome. This is a pic from my GH thread, but its really the only logical starting point for this thread...
I also have been very generously given some seeds that I will be running... C99 F2's from dutchgrown and Blue Driesel from Unknown Prophet. This will be my first time messing with seeds... hope I don't accidentally pollinate my whole garden.
I also have a new camera with a macro lens that I will be learning how to use as the season progresses.
Anyhow... welcome to my next adventure. Hope its as much fun as last year.
