Its been a crazy year so far, yall havent heard from me in a few months but i have been busy... I Just got some property in gold country, 10 sunny acres with a 3br house and a 30x30ft garage.

My plan for this summer is 36 plants in 200gallon smartpots, plus a few smaller ones.

here's the rundown so far:

6 Cheesequake
12 Cherry Pie
6 Williams Wonder
6 Platinum Bubba


I still have 6 pots to fill, so i am trying to decide on one or two more strains. possibilities include GS Cookies, Fire OG, SFV OG, or Jack.

So stay tuned , i'll be here all spring summer and fall. Love sharing ideas , pictures, and words of encouragement.!!

Peace

Welcome to the foothills! Once you're out here it is very difficult to leave... It is hard to find a more beautiful place to live in Cali for the price :)

Megayields, good to see you my friend, glad everything is going well for you and yours. lets meet soon and get a coffee or a beer

Veg N Out, glad to have you here. I think i will follow your advice and put a couple blue dreams outside just for the hell of it.

OldProLG, my house on 10 acres has market value around 140k i think for the whole property. in the yosemite / gold country region of cali. good luck out there in florida!

Welcome to the foothills! Once you're out here it is very difficult to leave... It is hard to find a more beautiful place to live in Cali for the price :)

it is indeed beautiful out in the foothills, very different from Santa cruz and the bay area where i've been for the last 8 years. I love it. We heard our neighbors shooting guns all day today and it sounded like freedom!



Spent the last 4 days clearing the hillside. got a nice plot of land cleared out and started leveling spots for the 200gal smart pots. I got poison oak all over my arms and my belly. lots of fun!!!

pro tip: wipe your skin off with rubbing alcohol within 30 minutes of contact to prevent most of the poison oak rash.

:dance013::dance013::dance013:


I also visited a neighbor's farm where they are running 198 plants in 300gal smart pots. the whole property secured with barb wire, cameras, dogs, the works.. cool to see what is possible after a couple years in the hills.

here's some pics of the hillside grow spot, and some nature.

Man...I give you props for doing all that hard work, by hand.
I feel your pain....
Your location is a great choice area, I spent many years out there, guerrilla growing.

If you need help with them holes, My brother has a mini excavator, that I'm sure he could do for a nominal fee.

PM me if your interested.

Cheers

hey homie thanks for the offer! means a lot to me the community vibe here. but I am not actually digging holes, just leveling out small parts of the hillside to fit our big pots on. the pictures i just posted should show what i mean.
