we have to pull 175 t-posts, have to pull up the drip lines, move cages, throw out netting, etc.. then move the mainline for the drip system so i can get to the pots with a skid steer when i add more soil.
also have to do these things before popping seeds:
-amend old dirt
-order new dirt
-build a greenhouse
no it's a different guy. Drue Bleam decided the life of an outdoor grower is not for him. Now he mostly brokers to clubs, and is starting to dabble in making hash

Harbor Freight has a great t-post puller that makes removing t-posts easy with no damage
to the posts. Costs about $40. Farm supply stores carry them also but cost about
$60 - $70.

thanks for the tip, but the Harbor Freight post puller is garbage. mine broke after 4 posts. it's still sitting in the box waiting to be returned. The hard clay ground where i'm at makes it really hard to get t posts out
Tractor Supply has one that is great, costs a little more but it gets the job done
After breaking 2, I reinforced it by sliding in a square tube that fit snugly inside the weak square tube. Then, the pin started to bend. Finally, the welds gave too. All around junk, too many weak points.
I'll have to check out the TS puller.

Hey shcrews get a 12 valve dodge diesel 94-97 I think..... them are million mile engines, all mechanical work horses.... Just make sure the transmission is good because they go out every 80-100k miles supposedly.
I am also looking to get some of those horiba meters, and AEA / Tainio stuff. I will let ya know if i can learn anything new on the foliars / fertigation with the stuff. I read the whole AEA thread and kind of knew the whole time that alot of it wasnt going to stick with me, until I used it personally at the farm. Heres some of the notes i took that seemed important-
BYF- 'september stack root drench' "increase sea-crop, pepzyme, kelp, rejuvenate, and sea shield, also do big doses of mycogenesis, biogenesis, and spectrum
"Milkyjoes original mary jane AEA-
Transplant- 1gal rejuv, 3 qts pht-p, 2qts photomag and seacrop, 1 qt micropak, 1qt sea stim, 1lb biogenesis and 12.5 oz pep C .
Weekly fertigation 1 qt hypercap, pht p, pht ca, micropak and rejuvenate, 1 pt seastim and sea crop
Weekly foliar- 2 qts hypercap, 1 qt photomag, 1 qt pht p, and 1 pt sea stim, sea crop, and micropak. "
Thats all i had written down, I dont know how much water to mix the above amounts into- lol. Maybe milky joe will stop by and let us know / confirm that he still uses the above ratio's
A good foliar N product is called ferti-nitro
If you want to get into Brix- a good modified vice grip for squeezing the sap out is made by "Pike".
Thats really all i had written down from the AEA thread that is significant in my notebook... there is lots of other info in that thread for sure though. Sharing is caring, gotta love ICmag.

i'll need more details
i would have a hard time driving a skid steer down to the original plot. thanks for the idea though. the tractor supply post puller works just fine. I'm planning to get a skid steer for a day when its time to move soil in a month or two
after hearing that from several people I definitely wont be growing the Orange Glue outdoors this yeargood stuff dude; can't wait to see you kill it again
you worried about those franchise beans at all?
i thought the OJB was hella hermie prone?
but the Area 43 from franchise genetics is from a different lineage; WiFi x Alien Technology. Those are very tempting.
thats in the 2015 thread and probably this one too. but i'm not gonna say it again until after i order my soil. last year they got very busy
thanks Funk, i hope this year is better than 2015, there were still some issues last year. I am pretty proud of my seed collection right now, i think this year will be mostly Bodhi but like i said, goin to try some new stuff too. I am starting to think that Sky Lotus might get a prime spot in the garden this year after her performance last year
I just ordered some stuff from GanjaRebelSeeds. I am interested in some of his strains for large-plant purposes, especially the Double OG Sour line. They should arrive in time for the coming season. Ganja D, his grow with humboldtlocal, and his subsequent solo career, was an early inspiration for me and i've been wanting to try his gear for a while
duly noted on the truck. great notes , thank you! helps a lot. i've been going through old posts and taking notes but its hard for me. i was never good at that stuff.
I probably wont use the whole AEA line this yea... definitely want to try a few things but i dont want to spend too much money until i know its worth it
getting tainio pepzyme for sure too.
can anyone tell me about the PPD and Brix Mix? what are they and why/how are they used
Sure. Basically, I don't want to do any work at all. Just hand me some cash, preferably in hundo's. I'm not down to do any sign spinning or anything that requires much effort.
What else do you want to know?
PPD is freeze dried cod hydrolyslate. It's awesome IMHO. Here's their website http://www.organicagproducts.com/15-1-1.html . It's definitely a key ingredient in my "every ten day" foliar feed regime, and it also can be used as a soil drench.
Brix mix was a product offered by peaceful valley that has since been discontinued a few years ago. It was two part (dry/wet). You can google "brix mix recipe" and find a suitable replacement.

eyo righteous.
i got some strawberry spiderbite im thinking about poppin next month. curious to see how some alien tech crossses do outdoor. landrace swoopage from pakistan/afghani border; yes please. sounds boss as fuck.
ive found those types of strains do really well in the climate where i am. almost the same latitude and elevation as the mountains of afghanistan. I really like bodhi's Snow Lotus line for that reason. Especially the landrace x Snow Lotus crosses (Ancient OG, Afkansastan x Snow Lotus), have always grown without a single problem.
I think its good for outdoor growers to find strains whose lineage traces back to a geographic location with climate similar to the one in which they will be growing.
Sorry but i have some friends who offer basically the same service
yah i'm working on my ingredient list and schedule for a weekly foliar spray. thanks for the info. would you care to share the rest of your foliar feed regimen
