Another Warrior game tonight, I will be watching fo sho. I heard Curry isn't going to play in the Olympics. Can't say I blame him. Rio is a dump, with corrupt politicians and did I mention the Zika epicenter?
I will try to get an update in soon, been super busy. Just pulled down my main deps, and replanted. I also have been doing a fair amount of taxable construction jobs. Bought another 8 yards worth of material so I can fill up one more 800 gallon pot, and top off my beds that just got harvested.
This week it hit 100 on the property, so the real heat has begun. Water is being used up at a rate of 25 gallons a day, per plant. Crazy!

Also, the 88 cherries sure turned out great. Very special plant.

I have a c10 (electrical license), 15+ years in the trades. First half I was a ground up residential carpenter. We did a lot of kitchens, bathrooms, additions. Never build a home from scratch. The last half of my career I worked in commercial carpentry and electrical. So, pretty much I have seen it all. Little industrial work as well.
I was going to get a GC bizz going here in the mountains, but the canna game has been too good to me. Was thinking of just buying and selling houses instead. At my own pace kind of thing. That kind of biz is harder up here though. That is how I made most of my money in the bay, flipping houses.

Dang it's been a busy couple of weeks. Work projects, canna garden, breeding projects. It's been crazy. I got some AOG pollen from my male, also have a bunch of c-99 males, SSDD males, and 88 Cherries male. Should be fun painting plants come August.
The work, it never ends. You have some lovely mates mate. This should be a good year for you from the looks and sound of it.
Keep on keepin on Foothill.

Just want to thank everybody for their interest so far. I wish many blessing to ICmag, and the people here who have shared and contributed to the community. Without any of the above, I wouldn't be were I am today.
I want to thank the armed forces that protect our freedom of a democratic republic so over time we have been able to over throw cannabis prohibition. I thank the political warriors that made this happen. From Steven DeAngelo, Jack Herrer, Kyle Kushman, SamTSM, Ganja Rebel, Gypsy and countless other we will never know their names.
I would personally like to thank God/mother nature/budda/science or whatever diety one might believe in for the creation of this beautiful planet, the rolling hills I call home, my water source, and my beautiful family. Even when life seems tough, when people die, or you go broke, try to think of all the things you can control, and all the beauty in the world. Sometimes just the right mindset can deliver you from evil.
Back to the garden:
Things are going great. Every plant is out producing where I was last year. My soil seems to be on point, my new soil seems extremely nice for veg so far, and my fertilizer regimen has been paying dividends.
An area that could be improved next year was my first round of light dep.......pathetic yield, but the quality is nice.
So, I took a picture or two of what I think is my largest plant, my AOG in my outdoor 1000. 7'6'' already from the base of the plant, not the bottom of the smart pot.
Don't cha hate when your plants outgrow your dep hoop?
Still can't shake that case of the worms

Last year my furthest along plants on 6/26
This year 6/12
And I just replanted my deps. Plants were pretty root bound, so they are hurting a little. Lets see if they green up over the next couple weeks. Hope to have this harvested by Sept 7ish.

Your outdoor plants look outstanding!
The indoor full season are going to be a jungle this year, the plant in the big growbag in the center looks like it may be reaching your roof vent.
Great start this season.

Thanks my man! The cover crop is from build a soil, and they list the seeds as:
Flax - Carter
Clover - Yellow Sweet
Clover - White Dutch
Clover - Medium Red
Clover - Crimson
Lentils - Indainhead
Millet - White Proso
Vetch - Hairy
Vetch - Common
Cowpeas - Iron and Clay
Buckwheat - Mancan
Pea - Forage
Been loving it so far, but now it's getting fairly out of control. Some pots are 2ft+ tall. I might trim it down, or just let it ride.
Thanks, I feel like I have been having an outstanding start as well. One of the best of my career, I think. That plant is a SunShineDayDream, and I can't wait to see if she can reach that 17' tall ridge vent.

Nice cover crop mix, I use to try seeding my beds in the fall and never had luck just letting fall rain do the work, i wonder if it's too late or should just go rice straw. White clover really took off in one of my hoops and it really cools off things. I remember the first time I added rice straw mulch to the beds and the ambient temperature drop was so noticeable.
