Dirt/soil/sand

Dirt/soil/sand

Has NOTHING to do with>>>Acclimation..

Its the weather,moon phases ect...Soil just determins "how" well that particular plant grows..Believe this: I can plant A plant outdoors end of feb and have full mature buds/seeds by mays end..Plant those SAME seeds on the mays first quarter moon out in natural environment..Thus starting A very "long" process Known as stabilization/acclimation...Its "that" part ole dude knows his shizt:biggrin:

Understanding mother nature is the real key for a true GG'er..
Having A plan/dream is what its all about..Winter solstice is upon us so from there its go time yall!! :biggrin:..We gaining a lil DL every day after that...And NO matter the >>BS yall hear Plant according to old farmers almanac. Read carefully about root bearing veggies as to those ground bearing ones:biggrin:.

Dirt: Good looking rich dark or reddish.Grab a handful and smell..You get the kind of oder reminds you of penuts>>GOOD.Surrounding plants,Elderberry{favorite}rag weed,poke salad,persimmon tree..All NATURAL..." I grow in this all the time..Every plant

soil: A medium put together by "man"/ and just another word for "dirt"

Sand: Always has to be amended by #2..However sand very good for "wick" system bc of water issues..cant go long without water,as they would with dirt..

There is the breakdown..Full knowledge and true understaning along with 35 + years of mother nature and same plan from 78 aint changed one bit>>Just the genetics sped "past" me lol. This is not a easy thing>>I can speed it up by double outdoor grow>>Which most if/any have that option.Min of 2 years to get "what" I'm looking for..Muscle buds real pretty,and tastes yummy and stoney as hell,for abit..Its in da>>>"LEGS"

Wardawg gonna kick me off fl thread if I ramble on too much!! LOl
Happy growing ALL:huggg:..No matter ones gig Its the love of the herb..Peace!!! <ws>

Im far enough inland that when i dig deep enough i hit the groundwater, which of course raises and lowers with rainfall but some nylon samsonbraid line running deep and coiled at the bottom of the hole will wick up the water and that taproot just sips away as needed.
Some places especially vlose to oceans and bays the grounwater is brackish meaning saltwater content which is bad.

Well finally got something up on the ceiling to hang the lights from. Sorry for how dark the pictures are. Other wall not up yet so no reflection from walls and only one 600w running at 50% vegging the clones.

So much more room to work now, both in the flower room and the new veg area. Next to finish the wall that's going to divide the room then I'll mount the other 2 lights.

Hope everyone had a safe and merry Christmas.

Got the wall finished and door installed for the new grow room. Got 2 of the 3 lights up. Still need to put up third light and reflective walls. Room is coming together. Last picture will be the new veg area once I finish fixing the floor

If you have mature and a lil size to them they will be fine.
Even a small freeze wont kill them..Hard freeze will..Hey,attleast you have smoke!! Another lil tip is leave a bottom branch with growth and hit with a high nitrogen and more often than not they revert to vegg.
Have nothing to lose..Come back about june and see/or look in amazement>>Sometimes:biggrin:

Waiting on the "SNOOK"!!! They get up these creeks and when we have freeze like this hard one comming they go belly up..Hell I am NOT gonna let all them snook go to waist!!! Get yall's knickers warm:)..Got VERY cold weather on the way..

This weather good for,,,Relaxing and burning by a fire,,Or if your a hunter>>In the woods!!Me? Im going for oysters and snook!! and smoking swampkronik:dance013:
Happy New Years ALL!! May all have A blessed one!!
Peace!! <ws>

Make sure your plants are watered before a cold night and wrap the pots if in pots. I have plants out still going strong

Damn jealous! Wish the oyster beds here weren’t so fucked! Hoping to get back home soon. There is a place near my house where the tarpon go to spawn... fresh water spills into the mangroves. I take an ultralight setup then go get the smallest panfish softbaits I can find. I take my lil brother to catch the tiny tarpon and call it ‘crazyfish’ fishing. I’ve commercial/pleasure fished for almost 20 years and fishing those tiny tarpon is by far the most fun I have fishing

Being within the dripline of a tree like a live oak has kept my outdoor plants alive during really cold snaps. Ive had plants survive 30 degree nights before because the trees created a slightly warmer microclimate.

Oh yeah be careful wolfshadow my uncle got arrested filling his jon boat with snook after the really hard freeze in the late 80s. FWC can be real assholes. 2 of my uncles have only been arrested once in their lives and it was FWC that got them.
