This mild winter is killing me I wanna start an early spring mini but I have a feeling it is going to be one of those years where we don't get the bad weather till mid January through March. This thread has been a real inspiration. I find myself rereading it constantly lol some parts I have read 3-4 times. Too bad I ordered water crystals for almost double the price they were in the link way above lol didn't come across that till a couple days too late....such is life I guess no biggie. need to order more anyway.
It's cool how one can take tons of info and protocal here and apply it to his/her situation and current operation. I mean I am seeing possibilities that before I couldn't realize. Everything is falling into place nicely as far as prep/timing for this next season.
Julian, you start your Moms in January and chopem up maybe mid April I'm assuming with a plant date of round May first. I have a 4' x 2' flourescent fixture and a 4' x 15inch one also. How much room do your moms usually take up per plant? I have very limited indoor experience. never ran anything inside that long...just 2-3 weeks under fluros and out they went. I'm going to stagger my planting and I'm thinking 1 sq. foot per mom is this unreasonable? I'd like to pull about 50 off each minimum. should I just wait till Feb. to start my moms? definitely don't wanna waste anytime as I am as anxious as a virgin on prom night for this coming season. I know there will be a big learning curve as this is my first real commercial attempt.
I'm trying to do this to get into a small service based business like talked about before and just make something with this on the side for gravy and personal. I've had alot of success with predator urine wich I havn't seen mentioned yet. You buy a bottle of it(in my case I chose coyote and wolf. Also panther and mountain lion available) and you squirt a lil bit in a tiny bottle that has a hole and a cotton swab in it. You hang one or too around your plants and anything like deer or rabbits are not coming anywhere near it. they last about a month and after the first month veg the are usually in the clear as far as small anmals and deer eating them. only problem for me was it attracted ****in bear lol walked right through my plot crushing my biggest o.g. kush x blueberry bush. made a nice path right through. i saw a bear...good sized cub (while driving nearby) so that confirmed my suspicions. Now it's also scary as **** thinking you cold get mauled in the woods but you have to realize they are equally afraid of you and have such acute senses they are always long gone before you hit the scene.
