Lol it's 1 pm homie, were you waiting for it to get nice and hot out before you started working? I did that all last year, this year I'm getting my ass up early, finishing work early, and jumping in the river in the heat of the day!

Ok I didn't realize it was half the amendments, so I'll just stick with the tried and true. Strange yours was more expensive. So did you order 12 yd lava rock, 12 peat, 12 compost, because that's only 36 yds, maybe not quite 37 with amendments. I need to bump it up to 40.

Read moar. This link was on page 1 like I said.

Im not in a hurry for anything anymore.

 

[_tessarecting]

Only thing it needs are a couple zippers, perhaps some ammendments, and we're good to go.

 

[Shcrews]

you got room for 200 plants in there?

i still need to get my hoop up

 

[_tessarecting]

Nope. 20' fits about 100 comfortably like this. You could do more if you raised and packed the aisle but then its a bitch to water. I'd go for 40 at least maybe 44 for clearance if I were you. 4' spacing on the hoops work well.

Im missing one pallet still though and have 4 where there could be 12. I could calculate max numbers tomorrow if needed unless someone else knows.

Right now I got 75 pots in there but there's still room. For the bodhis.

Buddy...don't do it to us.

We can't take it again. Build that fuckin GH! You had guys wanting to drive out to your pad last year and build the damn thing for you they were so frustrated you didn't have one.

I've never seen people get so mentally involved in a project thats not even theirs. Lol.

Just don't call Tess to build one!! We all know how that would go.

Couldn't resist dawgy

Lol, I so wish I got to share the one I built last year by the book of that university manual. I was too paranoid. Didnt save pics. I was thinking the same thing though that is too funny I remember that "I will send you a carport and plastic, all you have to do is pick it up!" We got your back on this Shcrews!

TEss bro...thanks for the heads up on Rare Earth......I'm going through a seperation and keeping on target while not BEING a target until I get out of here is ...well you know.

Look I'M going full ghetto cheap on my 1st crop if I even find the site suitable...can I get by with just using Cootsz from Rare Earth with good results?

I'm going to guess that's a yes on that...I'm not going to try and "dial it in" 1st round too much....I only need 4 yards I think...(plant count is only 24 where I'm going and I'm not trying to kill it...................yet)

 

[_tessarecting]

Im pretty sure Shcrews did that right? Im really stoned right now and cant remember. (Please forgive me if I told a fib)

Ideally you want to at least spend 20 bux on a test...but I know...ideali$m goes out the window

.can I get by with just using Cootsz from Rare Earth with good results?

the "cootz mix" from rare earth is a lab-tested, balanced soil. you should be good to go.

if you are getting your own custom version of coots mix like i did, you will save some money but it wont be perfect

Early work ftw!

 

[jbarsk8]

Early work ftw!

Early as in early season as well as early morning before that sun gets hot

Thank's Schrew's...hows those old wings? Love your thread man, us 831 boy's gotta represent...

Today was cool. I ammended the pots with ag lime and gypsum. Im starting to feel like an organic farmer. I wasnt able to source the micronutrients in time but plan to for the mounds. It cost 2$ I feel borderline retarded for tripping on the cost. The guy at the shop offered glacial rock dust or azomite but I didnt know how much would balance it so I passed.

Then I hauled like 80 gallons of water up the hill to water, transplant, and label the bodhis. I need to get a longer hose---that was a bitch---but it feels good to be busting my ass too!

Tomorrow I'm going to dump a tsunami of pfr-97 on them.

What else is there to update...hmmm...nothing really. I havent eaten acid in 4 months since a snow storm and am going to eat 200 micrograms later. About damn time! Start the season off on the right foot here!

 

[jbarsk8]

Stay safe toNight, enjoy those vibes!!

 

[Shcrews]

sounds like my kind of night. the stars will be cool, i dont think the moon is out

good job getting your soil amended. you're ahead of me for sure

 

[Chunkypigs]

azomite is one of my favorite amendments, go for it!

enjoy your trip, this is a fun listen that we used to like back in the day while tripping…

Don't crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers.

damn homie, 200 mics a few too many or are you grounded safe and sound?

 

[_tessarecting]

Haha... I'm definitely not waiting 4 months to do that again!

The babies are loving the cootz, even after just 2 days I see a noticeable improvement. Here they are loving their ghetto life:

I don't see any signs of bms or russets but I dont care. The greenhouse is going to get hit every 2 days for at least 8 days with pfr-97. Spraying at night gives the perfect opportunity for it to work right. They're getting between 9-10 hours of light right now from about 8 to 6.

I got a 150' hose, which makes my life 150x easier.

Here is the candyland, week 8, going to chop 4/14 or before:
