We are hurting for snow down here in taos man, gonna be hard on the alfapha farmers and hay farmers cause the acequias wont be flowing very high. I have irrigation on my property but I use just hand watering from a well cause its more efficient.

When do you usually start your light dep? What do you use to line your greenhouse? Heater?

This is my first ever lightdep i fig'd april 1 was good. Hoophouse will be one layer of 6mil clear plastic and shadecover will be 2x cheap brown tarps. No heater i'll leave shadecover on @ night til temps raise. When its warm enough the clear plastic will come off and i'll only cover few hours each evening til "civil twilight".

Nice list man! Should be lots of different flavors to choose from at the end of the season. I'm going to run all the bro OG crosses too. Maybe we can have a friendly competition of some kind?

I don't do sammiches for dudes with pasty taints - I mean, a guy's gotta draw the line SOMEWHERE, eh?

The selections for this year's outdoor, those are going to be from seed or cuts?

If seed, do you have 'em growed up & sexed prior to putting 'em out, or do you put 'em all out and just remain on dude-alert?

A bit jealous on the OD-ability, but I suppose rather than be hatefully jealous, I'll just be happy for you instead.. :cathug:

Let me know the strain and when the start date will be. Pushes me to take care of things a little better. So I think win or lose either way we will both be winners at the end. How about if I lose I send you some brats and cheese?

I had some real nice results so far from the point break #2 x Bro OG . And whenever your ready to throw them in the water let me know and I'll get soaking them.

Do you have some gorilla spots? Do you reuse all your indoor soil in your outdoor beds? And if so do you reamend with anything?

I have been adding to my gorilla spot for years with EWC, bone meal and cow shit. But I feel like its missing something. They explode in June early July but seems they just start coasting at the end of the year.

hey guy!

Maybe try amending the soil with some Indonesian guano this year? It seems to work for me as a source of P better than bone..? Also, I find it helpful to top dress with the same guano every couple weeks during flower - about 1 TBSP per gallon/container space. (Adjust as permissable in your situation, of course)

As far as guerrilla i gots few spots... right next to canal in 10ft willows they really bang out there. didn't run em last season bc my ext vaca.. this year i'd love to n prob will have to so i'm on my med plant numbers..

i run new soil outdoors bc every year my numbers double lol. indo 50/50 recycle till in.. no ammendments just perlite n sphagnum. I'll bottom dress ewc n dry mollassy during transplant. when flowers are abundant i pour a puddle of icky mollassy near driphead and sprinkle it with volcano guano. my version of time release nutes. wicked smart not wicked hard .. i'll employ a foliar regime but have yet to decide on juan..

Nice! I dig the whole-hay-bale on top of the bed. Easy! I stapled a tarp over the beds last year, but that was a major pain in the ass in the spring - lots of staples to yank (and find).

Also diggin' the cocoon look! :respect:

Not gonna get clear plastic this spring I'll just move them out/in errday til they get too big then i'll put em in ground and lightdep tarp em every eve..

What are you going to use for the light dep tarp? Anything fancified/special-like made?

This reminds me.. I've been threatening to buy a cheap greenhouse for the past few years, just for right-handed flowers and veggies, .. But then when I think about it, I wonder.. Is it really gonna allow me do to do much more, or do I just like the idea?

I'm fingerin' it'll be too damned hot to use in the thick of summer, .. So I presume I could use it to jumpstart in spring, and extend (in containers) in the fall..? Hmm.
