Growing to latitude 43

Hey guys I'm getting ready for the new season.
Latitude 43
This guerrilla it has a sandy soil and I've added 30% horse/cow manure, 10% perlite, 10% coco, 20% organic compost (home made), neem flour 5%, algae flour 5%, wood ash 15% (oak), 5% zeolite.
The holes have capacity from 50 to 200+ lt of composting, I've prepared 10 holes and I would use these seeds listed below.
I hope the weather will be good to me cuz, often, rains are manageress giving way to botrytis and others deseases.
If You guys have a solution (preferably Bio) for these problems I'm ready to listen Yours solutions.



Here there're the seeds that I will use with some clones from a bonsai mother.



Some example.

Thanks to all for watching and comments we see soon

hello lalchimista, its some good amendment you have done, about the botrytis, as it comes in mild environment humid and not enough aerated, preventively plantations must be well aerated and a fongicide can be used, Bordeaux mixture is an organic (bio) treatment who is often used in agriculture but not to spray on the buds for sure. plants grown south in full sun in aerated place will have less chance to have botrytis than plants grown north close to trees for example. Growing the right strain in the right environment is one of the key too so if your environment is very humid, strains who support humidity well must be grown. good luck and stay safe.

Hey Gizmo!! Where's Dark Raver?? hahah sorry brotha
Well, thank you very much for suggesting that solution, I've studied the Bordeaux mixture it's amazing!!
The Bordeaux mixture is a mixture of copper sulfate CuSO4 (acid pH) and lime (alkaline neutralizing substance) reacting between then give rise to more compounds!!!
I "can't" wait I want to try it!!! hahaha
Thanks for the advice for choosing the right strain, I know this thing but I've some gifted seeds and I'm curious to see what comes out :biggrin:
I'm actually trying to carry on a Mexi x Thai strain, pure landraces and I would to impollinate with an other pheno, my eye fell to J@ck h€rrer reg. Sensi
sup€r skùnk reg Sensi
or blu€ b€rry reg Dutch
Now I'm a bit confused, I saw the last dutch genetics are loosing quality.
I'll wait an CA reg gen or others landraces and I will try to cross with my Mexicool genetics and then stabilize to 43° latitude parameters.
I think that in this way I've more chances to have a good harvest, cuz plants will be ?accustomed? (right word?) to stricter parameters.
If U have some idea for a nice genetics or grow system , tell me well.
see ya

Look's like you have an excellent start there lalchimista. The big ones look nice and healthy.

I noticed you use peat pellets to start clones and seeds. How do you find they work for you?
I had terrible germination rates when I tried them for seeds. Do you know if yours are made of peat moss or coco?
Looking forward to watching your season.
Best of luck and may all your Buds be Huge.

Peace GG

I'm not who you asked but I use peat pellets a lot for seeds and clones. They are made from peat. I get about 100% clone rate by just using a humidity dome and a rooting hormone.

For seeds I germinate my seeds by either leaving them in a cup of water for a day or two or use the wet paper towel method and as soon as a root pokes out I put the seed in the peat pellets. I keep a tray filled with something like and inch of loose peat or perlite and keep the peat pellets in there with the peat/perlite just slightly covering the bottom little bit of the peat pellets to keep the moisture level from changing too fast and it gives the roots somewhere to grow when they start popping out. After they get a set of leaves I put them where ever they need to go. I get about 95% of germinated seeds to survive.
