preperations is starting as the season is closing in
ive got all the seeds ready
ive also now gotten most the equipment i need
going to borrow a van from a friend cause theres no way i can put out 1200 2 liter square pots into the fields in my own car without it all being driving and less time to work
ive traded in seeds for grow gear and also been doing some ebay shopaholic and i now have most the stuff i need for an optimal grow
this includes
meters for both soil and hydro
EC, light, ph moisture etc
a shit load of square pots
lamps and bulbs in most sizes and spectrums
i was hoping i had monet for a small insulated polycarbonat greenhouse or time to make one myself with multilayer insulation of reinforced and bubble plastic but it hasnt been so
but i have a raised area 1,2 x 2,4 meters that i plan to fill button and sides with foam insulation board and cover it with reinforced plastic and get the first ones started very soon
if there should be some small periods still with frost at night ill put in a small electric heater but the plastic and the foam board insulation should be able to with stand some mild frost
germination will start very soon indoors in seed trays i bought at ebay and some smaller mini greenhouses from last year
ill post some pictures soon of the gear once i get it sorted and in one location for counting and photo session
8 fields are still my planned maximum but i have more strains and then that i wanna try out this year so i plan for at least 2 of the fields being multiple strain fields where im only using males from one strain to pollinate the others
outcome is then pure seeds from the selected strains and a cross between that strain and the others in the field
ill update with more info and pictures very soon as im working on the project most of the day to day
