[MileHighFarming]

Ok, so this is my first time posting on this board. Been growing for about 7 years the last 4 outdoors ONLY. I guess I finally decided to post Because I'm tired of having noone to show my pics to, or talk about the grow. I have a 10 X 22 garden in my backyard and currently about 18 plants or so. Some of my plants have some pretty weird growth patterns but many of these plants were mothers that were 6+ months old when planted. The garden was dug down 3 ft and amended with:
50lbs limestone(25 powdered & 25 Peletized)
30lbs of Jobes organic Blend w/Biozome(2 bags each of veg,bloom and palm)
4 Cu Ft Perlite
6 3cu ft compressed bales of peat
4 bags of sheap n peat
4 bags of mushroom compost
4 bags of ECKO clay buster compost
10lbs of humic acid peletized
1LB of Extreme blend (Kelp,Humic,Fulvic and Amino blend)
8lbs Kelp Meal
10lbs Alfalfa Meal
1 Bale alfalfa hay
All above mixed with original dirt from hole and backfilled.

Strains are:
Quantum Kush
White Rhino
303 Kush
Deathstar
TrainWreck
Kali Kush
Northern Lites #5
Blue Skunk
Jared Pickins ( High CBD Locally Developed)
1 Unknown Kush (V shaped plant in pot)
and a few of y own concotions
white widow X Lemon haze
Lemon haze X Alien Inferno
unfortunately I missed a Sour Diesel Male this year that was in the middle, didnt get him until he'd spread his seed. So that what all the beans are from.

I Grow em big and usually put them out the first week of June, this year I had them try to bud early on me but all re-vegged so I'm hoping for the best. Last years was about 8 1/2 lbs from a spot about 3/4 this size. Hope to update regularly so on to the show Oh yeh first set of pics taken August 28th will get first September set in the next day or two...

P.S. Also have a 12ft WW X SH I forgot to take pics of...

So I wtered in some ferts nd planted 75 stakes, 300 zip ties and a roll of string and everything is set for windy September.

For ferts I used some General Organics Cal Mag, Banana/Squash/Mango/Papaya Fermented Extract, Molasses and some Lacto Serum.

Looks like i should have a few of the pots ready to harvest in a week or two . Ill update some pics tomorrow was a little too dark by the time I finished tonight...

Thanks for the visit Swamp Thang. Been a little worried about the seeding but last year it seeded too and was still stronger than what I get at the dispensary

looking good
if you are fermenting fruits already for fertilizer but buying calmag consider fermenting some oystershells for your calcium source, or eggshells.

"windy sept" is so apt... i think it blows hard by me in july & august, but things aren't getting heavy then, just stretching out

Thanks for the suggestion, I was going to ferment the calmag too just ran out of time this year.September definitely worst here, problem is all summer I get winds from the South then in Septwmber they switch and start coming from the North and its a big empty field for about a mile behind me

Quick question for the eggshells or oyster shells do you ferment them like fruits or do they have a different method?

treat them like fruit, maybe supplement a lil more molasses

thre is a technique using acetic acid (vinegar) to extract calcium and some phosphorus to make calphos from toasted eggshells (half brown half white... half toasted)

i made one using freshwater clam shells toasted and soaked in lacto ferment style; worked out well imo
