Update... oh yeah.

Update... oh yeah.

So i was in the greenhouse tieing up branches... doing this caused finger hash, and also all of my arm hair to be hash glued to my arm. Had I shaved before the job id been smoking it currently!

White Widow... My nose has a love affair with her every time i walk by. Whenever i make it to the back of the GH, time is taken stopping to smell this Citrus Bubblegum flavored rose.

The Green Crack Triplets. I have a new found favorite weed of the year. This cut is so pungent and sweet it hurts. Walking by them and inhaling deeply through my nose regularly makes me sneeze. The best marijuana Ive had the priviledge to grow to date.

Elephant. Not going to be the biggest in the gh by far. But it is going to be in my headstash. The densest by far, feels like squeezing rocks. The smell and appearance is GREASY... Calyxes purpling... GREASY... AND OF NOTE... of any plant Ive ever grown needs the least amount of fertiliser to grow ROCK HARD NUGS. Indoor or out its always hunter green and GREASY looking... covered with actives...

elephant close up, dark green and greasy!

Another Blueberry nug... SPORTING MANY ACTIVES

Sawtooth Spear. Has its original smell, which has nothing to do with standard weed smell... and pink hairs! also sawtooth is huge... both plants are just piles of two foot spears... HUGELY PRODUCTIVE!

In Closing SOme flo... Which also is several dozen wine bottle colas each. Was the biggest suprise... amazing producer of HARD DENSE Nugs that smell sweet and floral. Not a super purple cut, but will be done early october!

Was several paragraphs into a great post when, icmag/computer freezes!

Was several paragraphs into a great post when, icmag/computer freezes!

I have been accused of habitually under fertilising. The football purple colas picture update tomorrow will tell a different story. My plants yellow out, as plants do in fall. Through the whole life process, my plants will not take on the pushed to the brink of uptake hunter green colour.

we are 22 pages in, so hows about a...

RECAP:
------------------------------------------------------------------

All holes last year were compost piles... over year of growing straight into a compost pile, it turned into black earth.

added to each 2nd year hole:
- 3 wheel barrows horse shit. Acquired free locally from all the horse that live nearby, at this point we are pulling from a 3 year old pile! (free black gold)
- 2 wheel barrows of peat moss bought in a 110cu ft compressed brick (800 lb pallet, one bag, less waste) My well Ph is high (8.9) but...
...........the peat moss and well water compliment each other almost perfectly IN MY PARTICULAR SITUATION.
- 2 wheel barrows perlite. purchased in 2 X 55cu ft bags, that i had to return for deposit so NO TRASH!
- small bag limestone each hole.
- Mulched with 3 inches straw.

when trying to source ammendments in BULK, do not think gardening store, think, "where is the company that is mixing things to MAKE BAGS OF POTTING SOIL... HUGE AMOUNTS = HUGE SAVINGS + no trash

watered and left sit until time. nothing was hot in mix, but i was doing this work in February (perks of greenhouse).

A couple days before planting, all holes innoculated with compost tea to ramp soil life into high gear.

when planted plants only get water through all veg as there is a lot of poo to eat in the hole.

Poor mans home made brix mix is made for foliar to raise brix.
- Liquid seaweed
- molasses
- fish hydro (little stink goes a long way)
- potassium source (i heard, seaweed, sugar, potassium source for brix levels)

In flower compost tea is made every 2 or 3rd flowering. I do not stress how often im compost tea-ing because i do not attempt to force feed nutrition.

compost tea from start to finish made 5-6 times. Holes are so very retentive that in serious veg only water once every 7-10 days and in heavy flower only once every 4-5 days... SERIOUSLY

What we get is some of the cleanest, crystal laden organic nuggets under the sun.

This year we spent some more money on infrastructure, automated irrigation, etc... and we haven't finished this year to get a figure...

BUT last year we grew A+ Organic for $11.11 / lb. (That's TWO PENNIES PER GRAM production cost) Almost unbelievable.

At that level of efficiency, we are able to provide all of our patients with a year's supply of medicine for free...

Shame sometimes thinking about growing something for $11.11 that is worth $2700 (in theory) and giving it away... 24,300% theoretical increase in investment

I do not bring this up as bragging rights. It is actually a serious issue. There are many patients who switched from not being able to afford their pharmas to not being able to afford their weed.


Our sole (or soul) goal is to keep efficiency so high and therefore cost of production so low, that the people who TRULY NEED IT can have the best A+ medicine I can provide for free.



Stay tuned for, "the proof is in the pudding," when it come to "under fertilising" pictures!


Much Love,

Manitoid

You rock, Mani!

Still, you are not counting your time, dude. I hope you are independently wealthy or a renunciate so that you can do this great work.

I'd love to sample some of your herb, but that's prolly not gonna happen.

At least I have my own, quite inspired by your approach (and props to jaykush too).

I like you bro.
