These look great Lapides!
...Thanks for the explanation. So, these no till people, they never add back any ammendments? I'm curious as to how the herd stays fed. I'm not sure I have the balls to attempt a no-till. This recycled thing is easy as pie enough for me, and so far I am loving the results.

Thanks bro. The CJ's are at 71 days today. This past Friday I was thinking they'd be ready for the chop today. But they really could go a couple more days I think. Some of the closeups I'm posting today indicate some clear heads still.Wow that Casey is just phenomenal. And all the earlier flower shots are setting up proper. That cheese is gonna stack.
Do you know what pheno of LA you have? I had one for years that grew super slow, had super fat fingered leaves that turned nearly black, and had these amazing purple black bubba kush like nuggets that tasted like nothing on this planet. Cant wait to see how yours fills out.
Can you break down a little more detail on your beds? You mentioned you are just now playing with fewer plants. What was your old method?
I ask so many questions cuz ive been getting great results plugging 6-9 clones into a 20gal smartie and flippin it down right away. Lookin at ways to reduce veg time in soil and it seems giving them an enormous container helps to get closer to the type of stretch you see in dro.
Finally, are your beds custom made or just 8 75 gal smarties? Im really stoked to see how much ground you are covering with 2k. Its amazing to see log cola chunks like that with 25w/sf!!
I checked that guy out a little. He's a pretty interesting guy.A really interesting farmer to read about no-till techniques and such: Masanobu Fukuoka - guy was really quite amazing with his agriculture and what he did. Just some free time research.
Plants are looking great, Lap!
I would also suggest that next time you re-amend the soil, you add some dry molasses (1c per tub) to the mixture. Ladies really seem to enjoy it. Another thing you might consider, is food grade diatomaceous earth (1/2c per tub) for a bit of quick acting silica to offset the long term break down rates of the greensand.
Then again, lol, you might just want to leave well enough alone - looks as if things are working mighty fine the way they are! Great to see you running a thread! I always loved watching you work!

Thanks for coming through again!These look great Lapides!
My pleasureDude I'm running the White Jones..... Your Casey shots have me sooo excited!!! Thanks a bunch man!!!
Hey bro, nice to see you coming by again. I was pretty wasted that night, I couldn't tell what was what I and was beyond labeling shit when I took them off my camera.Drunk pics are better than no pics!
Bravo sir
Yeah man, they're easily some of the biggest producing plants I've ever grown.Jesus! Those Casey's are freakin monsters!
Time to play some ball........Lap is bringing the bats!!
Hey man, Nice to see you stopping by. I will maybe eventually get to trying no-till. At this point, I am beyond pleased with the results so far from what I've done, and it is by far the least amount of effort I've ever put into a grow. The effort involved in lightly mixing my amendments 4 inches into the dirt is extremely minimal, and with 8 inches of dirt undisturbed, I'm can't imagine that my herd is still pretty happy.Top dress, brother. No need to tear up all those nice networks your microherd has built. Kelp, ewc, maybe a bit of neem...no need to go crazy and add everything each time. Less is more, especially if the previous grow went well.
Plants look great. Nice job.
Yeah bro, it's really great. The blumats keep them watered perfectly. As soon as I get around to installing toilet float valves on my rezes, I won't even have to top of my rezes anymore.Ain't it grand, man? Just keep em watered and stay out of their way. Nice work, Lapides.
I make it look easy because it is. In over 15 years of growing, this is the easiest thing I've ever done.Really nice gardens, you making it look to easy!
I think I'm going to try a no till garden pretty soon.
Peace
