I need to build a greenhouse this spring as the wet falls are brutal here
I got a lot of bud but could have done more lost stuff to mold/rot
the plants I thought would have been mold resisted where not
the hard budded Indica did well even with the wet weather
I am thinking of doing a 20 foot by 40 foot one so I can have a little extra space to grow
other things
I have some poppies I want to grow outside this years
I am so glad I did not start any more seeds
I can have six in flower and six in veg I have 50 or so I will need to thin the herd
I will give a bunch away to folks who are looking to try growing
New York says that a the end of June you can grow rec here but they did say something
about delaying it
I will renew our medical one more time as it was nice to grow and not worrying about
Johnny Law stopping by
after having 70 or so plants whacked down in 2022
Well to all my Outside Growing Friends here is to a good season in
New York or wherever you may be
maybe not as wet as last year
Be safe and stay free

We had plans in the works for a greenhouse. We had issues with our thick buds with mold. The stretched out limmy bushes had very little bc the bud structure was smaller. We are a bit more south than you are.
We do ok because outside we are in a field on top of the mountain allowing full sun(mostly) bc we are above the dense forests. Night time was when the mold would find a place and also the snails would attack. Thick dense buds get soaked at night. So the sun is our friend during the day to stop the mold from spreading.
Last year I had mine where in the fall they got sun a bit late in the morning because I did
not want to pay for the medical
in the end I did but they were in the ground so I did not move them
this year I am good and will renew one more time while New York figure out the rec thing
I have the perfect spot that gets full sun from sun up to sun set
the falls are damp and cold with dew like rain, used a leaf blower one year it helped
I have been wanting a greenhouse just because
grow well and be safe

I so in
Can’t wait to see your season …peace
I have used Peters forever and have liked it a lot
but it has always given me a green that has not really moved me
I was posting with a grower last spring somewhere and we have posted back and forth
since 2001 on many boards that have come and gone
he like me comes from the greenhouse trade and we were raised on WR Peters and Jack’s Classic
I was checking a grow of his out and saw the beautiful emerald green his plants were
and had to ask him what he was using
he said this is what he is using start to finish and loving it inside and out
greenleafnutrients.com
I used it outside start to finish in 2023 but when I started flowering I did hit them with
Monopotassium phosphate MKP 0-52-34 and also as seedlings
I like to water them in with it when I put them in ground the 0-52-34 is good for roots
whatever works for you is best
my 2 cents

Today is 2/20/2024
I will say I have the master's skill at making shitty life choices
for once I choose wisely and did not planted more beans
the shelf is full and they need to get spread out, room and lights I have so move them to new digs
9 sweet tooth # 4 regulars
12 GMO x Dragon's Blood F5 regulars
24 plants moved spread out, they look orange as the lights are 3900 k I need to add some 6600 k
strips to get up to 5500 k
Road Kill Skunk, Devil's Punch and Double Grape OG
seedlings feeling much better
a couple of Lava Cake x Pressure looking better
now they are growing like a .............. weed
be safe and grow well

Looks fantastic What are some of the attributes that you’re going to be looking for when you start selecting your females?

@flower~power
that my friend is a good question I have no plans as of yet to make beans but that always could
change
Most of the time I put out plants in seven gallon pots that have grown over the winter so they
have great roots system
this last fall I shut my room down after the last plant was dried, I can only have six to be
good with the Law so they need to be big
Last spring I was hating my grow room and LEDs so I just started my beans for the season
mid January
I need to get big plants and time will be tight, I put my plants out the first of May this
year I may keep them inside a couple weeks longer that will depend on our
weather
But to answer your question I have Road Kill Skunk F2 regulars, Sweet Tooth # 4 regulars,
Blue Mountain (Capstone x DJ Short's Blueberry) regulars and GMO x Dragon's Blood F5
regulars
I have 8 of each at these that I will pick females from and the Blue Mountain maybe a male
I will start by looking at the plants for uniformity and how quickly they show sex and how they
do under my abuse
some plants do not do so well for me so I do not grow them, autos do not like me at
all
I have 3 things that are feminized so they are what they are, most of them I will share
I may keep the six I can in veg
I am starting to like my lights a lot better as now I know how to use them, I will be breaking
out a cloner soon as I have folks I give clones to
Last night 2/21/2024
so here are 30 plants in 1 gallon round pots all I can fit under the lights I am using at this time
the light arrays are 2 foot x 4 foot and each can be driven at 320 watts, right now I am using them at
225 watts each @ 3900 k for a spectrum
may add some 6600 k strips I have, just need to watch the plants
Last spring I blamed all my growing problems on LEDs and the fact they are 3550 k lights so like
anything if you do not know how to use it correctly you will use it wrong more than likely
I did and was
stuff still on a shelf, I have 3 arrays that cover a 4 foot x 8 foot space super well, I can run them at
950 watts so light I have
even under the orange light the green is looking good I have been giving them every watering and doing
the third watering with plain water
I have been using 1/4 teaspoon of CalMag, 1/4 teaspoon fulvic humic acid, 1/4 teaspoon NPK 0-52-34 and
1/4 teaspoon Mega Crop 9-7-14 to a gallon of water
we will see wanting to push them along I need to get them big to go out
they are doing way better then a week ago funny what 82 F will do for a plant
like I said I can have 6 outside with no worries I have 3 things that are going feminized so they will be
3 of my six
Sweet Tooth # 4, Devil's Punch and Lava Cake x Pressure, I am hoping to be able to hack at these over
the weekend to start shaping them in to bushes
so at this time picking females
be safe and grow well

Well that’s a great problem to have now! Full space is a fun space.Thanks for your kind words
I am so glad I did not plant more seeds or I would have no room and most years for me that is the problem
more plants to grow and no place to grow them
over half are regulars so the male will go
be safe and grow well

Thank you!
Much Respect!
this evening 2/22/2024
the plants are growing well and the humidity is getting a bit high so it is time to break
out the dehumidifier
being they are growing so well it is time for a bit of scissor training
taken off half to 2/3 of the top growth should to lower the humidity
you get the idea looking to grow really big bushes
anything that did not get whacked is feminized so the tops will get cloned
still a bit too little but soon all my regulars got trained
what I am looking for in my six plants
the one in the center is a single Holy Goddess plant Aunt Kathy says only six plants or she will
have the boyz in blue stop by
never said how big they could be. so I will grow them huge
be safe and have a great evening
