Right on man.I'm jealous. Looks good for native. I'm in heavy clay. It's a damn pain to dig. I can probably bake pottery with it. Such a pleasant plot to dig
why don't you try to work it structure instead. river sand vegetal soil etc..
are you really happy just amending it ?

Yeah crown rot root rot is a soil born fungus mainly effect the lower stem just below the soil line . I've seen it happen when water pools up around the trunk. Creates a anaerobic environment. I've seen them die from this outdoors in July and august. Looking healthy one day and dead a few days later.
In your picture most of the plants are mounded up a little a foot or two in diameter around the plant witch is good. The one on the bottom right looks like one that could have problems. I would dig the outer edge down a little to pull the water away a little.
Your garden looks great and you probably won't have any problems. Just something to watch out for.
I think it is better to plant the plant a little high (shallow hole) rather than pile dirt up against the stem.
Just my opinions. I could be wrong. Keep up the good work everything looks healthy.

Manivelle, yep I hear you. I'm really not an expert on the whole organic soil or what not. I try and tell my partners what I read and they are clueless or don't care to do the research themselves. My partners being my stepdad and his gardener who convinced him last season to pull a bunch of my starts out thinking they were hermaphroditism plants or some shit. I knew for a fact they weren't!!! I told him to build the hoop house bigger than the boxes and he doesn't listen and the plants hit the tarp in the morning and get burnt. He thinks it's caterpillars lol. He learned and now the second box run of light dep is built a little better lol. So we differ on a whole lot of techniques but the reality is it is his property and I should be lucky I have somewhere to grow.

Here is a picture you guys tell me? Burnt from tarp or caterpillar?
New light dep just started on Monday. Built better but still should be bigger?

Not sure what tarp burn looks like but it definitely doesn't look like caterpillar damage, and I've seen plenty of that.

Yep it only happens to the buds touching the tarp facing the east side of the box. No sign of caterpillars and every morning when I pull the tarp I feel the heat wave come out from under it. It's like an oven under there man.
Picture taken this morning.

Planting plants, yeah that's his pool center right. It is nice to take a dip when it gets hot in the yard for sure! I don't know if you can see but he has another yard just behind the pool that's huge! Been trying to get him to knock his back wall in the garden and extend it out to the other yard. I'll take more pics later to show what I mean. Lot of work but perhaps next season we'll get to it.
Check out the stalk on this Pakistan Chitral Kush! Purple as can be!
Bizarre all ready showing some purple as well.

OD, yeah a handful started to go into flower but I think these hot, sunny days are finally kick starting them back. I hit them with aloe Vera juice, pro-silica, and Epsom salt foliar on Sunday and they seem to be happy. I got the same feeling. Just a preview of what's to come!
Noonin N, No fans. It needs them but my partner is cheap!!! It seems real hot and humid each morning when I pull especially on the side of the yard where the sun hits the tarp. This is our first time trying light depping but we have much to learn. Just having fun with it really. He tarps at 8 at night and it pull at 8 in the morning! It gets in the way of me getting to my job on time so I am looking for a better schedule for us. I'm not very knowledgeable on the concept so I've been trying to research the topic. Could we tarp at say 5p.m. And pull when the sun goes down? Anybody with dep experience please chime to in?
I also have a question on supporting these bitches. Last year my stepdad threw cages around everything kinda late into flower. They weren't very effective so now my stepdad doesn't wanna do cages! I try to explain his mistake and that if we were to cage them early on in veg it give the plants time to grow through the cage and will be easier to train to shape it however we wish. Instead of trying to force thick flowering buds through the cage while the middle of the plant had no support! Also his cages were more like rectangular holes. I want to get the big square fencing so we can easier get our hands into the middle of the plants to clean out the crappy growth. So I'll most likely fork out the money to get the cages hah! Fuck him. I figure I vegged all these bitches in a tiny closet in my condo and he has half his garage that he could have used but doesn't wanna pay for electricity? If it wasn't for me and me taking clones of shit from last season he'd be forking out tons of money for crap clones from doctors order at the last minute. He'd throw them outside like he did last year without any hardening off. Most wouldn't make it lol! He makes me laugh I swear!

Shit we still have 4 3 ft female seed plants with no spot yet and I'm trying to talk him into busting out my 200 gal smarties!!! Just to do some experiments with differences in yield. But I'm sure that won't happen!

Also Hemphrey B, didn't mean to skip your post I wanted to ask how late in the season could the cover crop be planted? I tried to do the cover crop last season when I was vegging in my closet. I used Crimson clover seeds and I'm a believer that the stuff kept my topsoil lost for words lifted? I mean the clover was lifting up clumps of soil a top of it.
i just planted a cover crop a week ago and checked it yesterday and found it sprouting nicely... ill update after i check in a few days... best time to plant is 20 days ago.. 2nd best time is NOW!
