:dance013: :party: :dance013:

Unfortunatly the month of july never happened and we've been getting fog until between up until almost 2pm some days. If I was growing more inland and had full irrigation set up these plants would be 2 times the size. Hopefully coastal fall doesn't behave like coastal summer. After 3 long weeks of no updates I finally have 5 minutes to put up an update. These pictures are a bit shitty and does not do justice to this small grow but for now it will do for now. Anyone good with a camera>?

This is the AK clone girl grown into the seedling blueberry!~
just a few weeks ago there was a walking path between them.





Just to show you the great heights I go to for these pictures. Me at the top of an electric pole strapped in! Black berry kush in the background.



GIANT Monster AK 47. (this plant has 5 - 6' sides plus the top canopy. I'm in this picture somewhere.

It's been a long month with many trials and tribulations overcome. The plants are looking very nice finally starting to kick it into gear when the universe presents us with a new challenge;i say ADD ORGANIC MATERIAL!!! only a day or so of unbearable heat and unfortunatly it killed off a great deal of clone stock i was planning on using... now I need new genetics!!! Other then that a mild summer slowly moving into fall. The show has begun!

I put a layer of dry food down under a nice mound of mushroom compost... FRESH WITH MYCELIUM and PRIMORDIA!


Then a nice layer of Chipped wood (deciduous hardwood)


Give it a good watering or tea and let the microbes and fungi go to town... they will reward you more times then i can count in so many ways! HOORAY FOR FUNGUS biological people and plant food!


one for my belly... and one for the girls bellies!



NYCD - Any body know where I can get a legit cut of this on the west coast? Not sure if 'll be able to reveg this one.





ak -47 clone



More pictures of the big girls tomorrow.

Nice. The biggest yielding garden I know of from '09 used nothing but oakleaf/horseshit compost mixed with topsoil in huge holes. Way to roll it out on the cheap!

This thread represents a great counterpoint to the big plant/big budget threads... a lot of folks need to see that it can be done BIG without many thousands of investment in bagged or trucked-in soil.

nomaad: this was exactly my intention I wanted to show everyeone that everything you need to do anything is right in your backard or neck of the woods. We need to start thinking and acting locally. Rather then getting soil shipped from Eugene or even south carolina for that matter. I'm not how an organic weed farmer can honestly call any of the items they grow "organic" when you dont take into consideration the effort and other biproducts of the industry. So... Oak leaves grape duff mushroom compost and country palm mulch is good enough for me.

EXACTLY MY POINT! There is no point to make the grow store owners rich! I mean they do have their place. to sell to lazy or uneducated people.

I had a nearby rancher beg me to continue to take 18 month old horse compost off of his land after I shovelled 10 truckloads. I couldn't take it any more, as i was wrecked that week from all the shovelling and had enough for all my holes and my vegetables.

I did wonder why this guy had a problem GETTING RID OF IT FOR FREE!

I mean really... no one wants it? I thought, "whats this world coming to that no one will take free horse shit!" hahaha

Thank you ghettochild for not accepting the widely accepted paradigm.

I was able to grow some large ones with no money spent until flower on only locally available materials. money spent on flowering in minimal, and i hope to have more of my own compost next year for home created compost tea. This year i used my whole pile in the holes.

keep setting a good example ghettochild!

Thanks everyone for the support...

I was almost ready to give up ICmag after seeing the careless and deceiving paradigm in action.
I.E. - soil choices, definitions of "organic", land management practices, and downright awareness. I am by no means 100 percent liberated of this behavior but in just one year I have made leaps and bounds past my previous interpretation of horticultural/enviromental behavior. (scary how impressionable people are)
> there are tons of growers here with the means to do things right for the land, themselves, and the people they provide medicine for. Smaller batches with a good biological diversity of plants and organisms will always be superior to "commercial organic monoculture" of anything. We need to start giving back to the land or their will be nothing left for us to take.
