prune? I dont prune, cant even reach the inside of some of the plants now. They are 9'-10' across!

I did have to clean out 1 Slsd and 1 S bubble weeks ago. That seemed to flower and then re-veg.
I think it's how those strains grow. Dense, lots of nodes stacking with little inter node growth. first time with them so Ill see in the end.

The Slsd has potential for HUGE plants the S bubble and S boggle produce normal sized.

The Mendo Dream produces HUGE plants along with Blue Dream.
One chem4 x Mendo dream is HUGE! cant wait for that cross to finish.
The cheese's are wider than tall, look so cheesy Chester cheetah would be all over them!
YUM!

Right on i always thought pruning not only let the plant get good air flow through it but also taking off the first couple bud sites on the inside that dont even get the light puts all the energy to the tops?

lol, <3

I figure they deliver upwards of 2cubic yards of dirt per pallet... How does that seem weak?

The ends of the 2x4" legs are cut at a 45^o angle and are sleghammered into hillside, also there are wooden stakes pinning the back half of the pallet down.

I'm about 230lbs, my partner is about 210... we stood, jumped, and wiggled them side to side both standing on them.

I have full confidence in their structural integrity, or I wouldn't have gone with this design. Would have terraced the hillside as originally intended, that was alot of work tho.... and pallets are free if you know where to look!

Maxsea is GREAT! formulated right down in Garberville, just for this.... nope, not organic...... amazing amounts of seaweed though!

Can't wait to see how our Cheese's compare!

not great,
not organic and from garbageville?

why not use grow more and miracle grow.

Well, 1st off...... Organic is gaaaaaaaaaay [let the flaming commence]


The VAST majority of people growing "organic" are doing it all wrong/for the wrong reasons. Mainly their smug sense of self importance, or because they "drank the kool-aid" and now anyone with a different opinion then them is an unenlightened peice of shit (insert Mendo420 here, based on his reactionary comment above ;P )

Very few people I come across (in RL, not here, you dipshits are all about learning and sharing information!) K+ btw ...Have any idea what soil biology or a "soil food web" etc. is all about, they might have overheard @ NHS about "high CEC" and think that they are now experts on growing [shitty] 'erb...

Organic is useless [I feel] unless your at a place where you plan on living/working for the next 5+ years, "organic" is a long term benefit, its to nurture and feed the earth/soil in a hole that you use year after year,

Also, It's nice to be able to buy locally produced products ["garbageville"] because this IS our economy up here and I prefer not to buy things that were made by Juan, loaded onto a truck by Emilio, and driven here 800miles by Jose.

Organic isn't some magic panacea, I was just out visiting somwhere they dumping buckets of Age Old into their tanks.. Asked them what kinda tea they had been brewing; if they used any worms.. They said, "yeah we used worm castings, and some microhizae too." :facepalm" Meanwhile the plants looked like shit, they thought they wern't giving them enough water. Where was I supposed to start, I didn't go out there to give science lessons....
