I'd grow satsuma soul train and dream beaver
kind peoples santa cruz
Probably will pop seeds early April. No clones this year. I still have a mother of that monster Ancient though.
No i havent ran those ones yet. I loved Solo's Stash, Pura Vida might be similar.
those ones are definitely making the cut. Satsuma is my favorite of those three, but i want to grow them all. I hear Soul Train is a big producer.
Trainwreck, Afgooey, and Blockhead blended should be a gigantic producer outdoor!!
Out of that big list, how many strains will you actually grow? I'm just growing DOG and Blue Dream this year.

800 gallon pots! Thats damn near 100 yds of soil total! You are going to need a tractor to amend your soil or a good size crew for sure! I hope you guys have been getting down on those Acai bowls! The most we have amended by hand at the farm is 50yds with four guys. Start early and keep a slow but decent steady pace seems to be the best attack. I checked your thread from last season and it was a nice show. You inspired us at HF to do a thread of our own this year. Good luck this season Shcrews and the same goes to the rest of you as well.
I will plant 15-20 different strains this year. ALmost every pot will be different except we will probably have 5-10 Ancient OG's
DOG is nice, how big does it get? i already said how i feel about blue dream, besides it doesn't do well in my climate. I am pretty stoked on these Blue Dream crosses though especially the Dream Lotus
I already have about 80 yards of soil i just need 20 more. Drue Bleam is on board for this season so i have some help with mixing dirt etc. I'm trying not to use very many people this year.
yepp man I had an acai bowl this morning after jiu jitsu. Extra goji berries and coconut. Still in vacation mode here, hanging in santa cruz. But it's back to the farm soon though to start prep work, plus i have an 8 light indoor grow that i havent seen in a week.
good luck this season !

That sounds insane and annoying ... I'm doing a 80/20 split

Love them Acai bowls. I like your style. We are doing pretty much the same this year except you could transplant our 200's in to your 800's! We are starting about 12+ strains to fill 25 pots. @ BYF If you are a drip feed kind of guy and dont enjoy hand watering often I can see how it would be annoying. Personally I enjoy and prefer planting one or two superior seeds of each strain rather then worrying about having multiple packs of one strain or phenotype. This has worked well for us in the past. Although disposing of the remaining starts that didnt make the cut can be quite troubling if you cant find a home for them.
I spend my time doing way more important work in the garden than babysitting the end of a hose. I'm out at events like Emerald cup and high times cups and local Humboldt events , stop by and see what kind of Nugs this drip feed guy produces

@ BYF I wasnt bashing your techniques in any way. I know their are many ways to get the job done properly. We use drippers as well. We only hand water when certain plants arent feeding the same as the rest, when we are feeding teas or to get a full saturation from time to time. I agree with you time is better off spent on the plants rather then holding a hose. You will be sure to see us in the near future and hopefully we cross paths so we can burn one.
Much love and good vibes.

you mean it sounds like fun! why annoying? it makes no difference to me what strain fills the pots, they all get planted, watered, and trellised just the same.
growing just a couple strains sounds boring. My fridge is full of jars from last year's harvest, i like variety.
i understand you want uniform product because it's easier to sell, but i dont see why it matters on the production side of things. having variety makes harvest kinda easier because everything doesn't finish all at once.
i feel that, handwatering kills way too much time. its fun for like 20 minutes
Ancient OG gets bigger i think, biggest plants in the garden last year. I love the Goji its one of my favorites, no problem with it, but it is kind of similar to the Ancient so i will probably skip it this season and grow more different varieties.
