Nice plants! So factoring 10' x 10' per plant inside a greenhouse for the win? 12 plants in a 30' x 48' sound good to you? That would be roughly 15' high at the center of house. Sativa dominant strain/soil.

What did you pull on that one shown in your greenhouse?

Is 8' x 8' per plant okay? As that would be way cheaper.
Nice pics!

Triple digits are not hard to pull in a greenhouse that size. That's just full season, I also dep the beds.

Planting all depends on veg time, and size. I can fill that greenhouse tight with 12 plants. However this year with the deps going till July, I wont be able to plug my full size plants till late. So I might be planting a little closer to fill the space.

I wouldn't worry about it. As far as it being a repost so what. Some times one needs to see something more than once for it to sink in. Besides if those were my plants they'd be posted as my avatar.

I would however like to know your soil mix, feed etc. Rather like to avoid the 4' plants this year. Thanks.

Added: See that was the problem here last year. We couldn't plant till July 1st by law. This year is different. If your waiting till mid-late July to plant 2nd crop, do you think you'll still pull large during regular season? No offence but it seems like your behind on your dep if your waiting yet to pop seeds/pick pheno's. Again no offence intended there.

What's up with the under shirt under the shirt?

It's 100+ and I am a sweaty bastard. Keeps my outer shirt dry, without pit stains. Otherwise my outer shirts get yellow pits over time.

Plus, it looks cool. lol.

When I have my Humboldt buddies over, they always take their shirts off. At least I didn't post a picture with my shirt off. That would be a bannable offence.

Why do you want to know?

Missed this post. I use coots soil mix, and logan labs to keep on track year to year. Keeping to William Albrecht base cation saturation ratio's.

Feeds I use home made EWC for teas, and Advancing Ecco Agriculture's organic line ups. Some other fulvic products here and there, but my main concern is the soil.

do you mind pm me soil sample and list of nutrient levels as it comes to you before use or amended ready for use . if your cool with that .i,m trying to workout where option ratio,s are suppost to be . i know you put effort into your soils .

anyone else as well please . it would be nice to compare a few , before i go order a heap of soil . only if your posting plant pics in this thread though :). i will not share them . i,m just don't want to f#ck up my soil purchase . needs to be perfect . i,m not in the states so lots of amendments aren't available . but we sure can get the nutrient levels right at least .

thanks for any guys who take the trouble to help. i have got a couple of top notch members here helping me also / well hopefully :) sure would be great to compare against each other and see all the common factors . to purchase with confidence .

So not many responded last time I asked.....

Is anybody getting clean green certified?

Are there any dispensary workers/owners that can speak on this?

Just have a few things to iron out, but I think I am going this route. It's now $2,200 for a year.
 
It's a program that comes out to the farm and inspects everything. From projected harvests, to clean harvest area's, hand washing facilities, organic inputs, soil testing, ext. It's everything that getting ORMI certified entails, however ORMI is federally recognized, and cannabis isn't. So this is kind of the next best thing.

They have this program in six states now, and is the largest of it's kind with only two other competitors I know about. One out of Oregon, for Oregonians only.

I looked into it.
And NO I'm not doing it.
IMO does not matter.

What do you think the benefits are?

Why would you want more people checking out your grow scene?
Stay the fuck out! Step on my land, your trespassing.....

Great point.

First off, Harborside gives an extra point per pack if you have the certification.

Second, it gives a little higher status for your herb in the eye of the buyer.

This of course only applies if your driving in the direction of dispensaries and legal outlets. They also claim networking options with their other farmers, but I doubt this exists by the sounds of it.

As for people on my property, you're right, I don't like that thought at all. It sounds like they come preferably during Sept, when things are getting busy. I run a one man show, and it's hard to make time for extra crap when that time of the year comes. (As you know) The ultimate goal here would be making taxable money from the plant I love in the long run.

I get it, thanks. Oregon basically has that with the Rec license, save for the Organics end of it. So here your inspectors bring you bugs from all over when they come measure your canopy. Who knows how many farms he'll visit in a day. With the pesticide bans farms are going to have some problems. Particularly the newbies who got some backing but are still clueless. Every plant gets an RFID tag $ so that plant stays off the Black Market lol. Better grow big plants here to save on tag fees. When they come to your farm hose them down, part of your Pest Management plan. No law against that yet.

Not trying to pick a fight here with anyone, or get off topic. $.35 tag per plant is going to stack up fast for SOG growers. Bigger will be better.
