Midwest Outdoors IV 2006 Season

If it's not to costly (depending on quantity needed) check into polymer crystals for your H2O retention. Another little trick We have tried successfully, If you are treking long distances to the grow and hauling in lots of weight is a problem, look for rotten, and I mean crumbly punky logs. Rotten enough to break apart easily with your hands. Bust it up in chunks and a touch of lime, and put in the bottom of your planting hole...It will add some micronutrients as well as help with water retention.

Thanks for all the info guys

That is an interesting idea. I do see this type logs out in the forest and never gave it a second thought. I say it is worth a try just for experience.

I will be adding some perlite to some of my holes for aeration. I planed to all along. I have been planting straight into the earth for many years with great results.

I do think however in those years when flooding is a problem perlite might save your butt. I can remember a year when the water rose close to the tops of the plants. It receded quickly and plants seemed to have weathered the storm. The leaves were all sticking up a little battered but alive. Or so I thought because when I came back they were all DOA. I dug down in the hole to find the water level was still only 1.5 feet below the surface. Maybe with a hole prepared with perlite they may have survived.

the soil at the watertable level and beneath will be saturated w/ water and won't have air. Even w/ perlite, if your dirt is beneath the water table, it will be saturated w/ water.

thats when you stick a 5 gallon bucket into the water with alot of holes and let the roots grow into the water while wicking it upwards to the rest of the root mass which means never having to water that plant again , so like the swamp idea people are talkin about around here but instead in a region of swamp or small stream its in the woods

[PureSativa420]

i dont need no water crystals as i enjoy the labor of carrying the water as its a great workout , same with digging holes i enjoy it too

 

[Guest423]

i hear ya me too, some people don't have water near by though or don't have the time to go water and they were talking about polymers so i thought that would help.

peace

 

[PureSativa420]

yea im a big guy and love to work out in anyway rahter its going to the gym, digging holes, cutting down trees, carrying water

 

[Guest423]

nice bud...what strain?

i love getting the workouts too, i go to the gym 5 nights a week, play sports, and fish/hunt, grow.....basically anything outdoors i love....i'm getting cabin fever waiting for spring and we just got dumped on with about 15-17 inches of snow the last couple days!!

peace

 

[PureSativa420]

haha you get hit with the snow and i got hit with 5 to 7 inches of rain from the thunderstorms passing thru my state

the trimmed bud on the left is a Unknown Strain but have grown it out several times as they are yeilding plants that smoke ever so good and smell really fruit like, supposed to be a Northern Lights x G13Hashplant but who knows and who cares as long as it smokes and grow well in my book , ill let you smoke some of it and then some ak and i bet youll say this is stronger then ak and better

the untrimmed plant you can see in one of the few pictures i posted before and its also unknown but grows pretty unqiue

heres a pic of the untrimmed plants dried bud, nice spear like and weighed close to 8 grams

and youve seen this picture a few times but some of the first plant that was trimmed, nice rock solid buds (still needed to trim some more but oh well personal smoke and trimmin sucks! ) and for the record again my camera blows and i need a new one but oh well you an get the general picture, im not here to impress anyone with my camera skills or plants just to share knowledge

 

[Guest423]

hey atleast u got a camera...i'm still lookin to buy and checkin my options...check the link in my sig to compare cams if your lookin to buy one soon. still looks decent though...was that outdoor then?

i hear ya...trimming is the worse part about growing period...it's fun for about 10 minutes then blows ass...especially when u get to the smaller buds.

peace

 

[PureSativa420]

yep its outdoor buds , usually grow a good handful of plants all over the place, numbers can get a bit high but its all in fun

Hello all!

All these nice pictures are getting me pumped, lol!

Last year for me was a good learning experience, but what didn't get ripped had mold on it, so meh. But that's okay, it was all good and fun.

Any ways, here are a couple pics to lighten up this boring post.

Hope to see you guys around later...........

 

[PureSativa420]

yea i had my run ins not once but twice with rippers last year, the first one was when they was small seedlings and the 2nd when they was well into budding and not even around the same area 2 diff people 2 diff times, 1 i let go and the other well if you was on OG you kno what happened to him ( kicked his ass wit a log )

 

[Captain Skunk]

Great pics PS and I love the fringe pics of the corn fields Pez.

Traveling on the road last summer through the conbelt, during the drought, I had seen several MJ plants towering over the stunted corn in the fields.

The poor growers never expected thier grows would stand out, in the middle of nowhere.

good luck this season

I was in a garden store the other day and they had a product called frost off. I should have looked at it more closley but didn't. Anyone ever hear of it or use it? It may help prolong a season by a few valuable weeks.

 

[PureSativa420]

Flavour Flav!

sorry guyute i havnt seen or heard about that product but might be worth looking into and try it out and let us kno what its all about

ello again captain thanks for stopping by the home of us Midwestern growers hope to see you around more often as your in the Midwest too and are fully welcomed to converse with us if you want
