Outdoor Grow With Super Soil & Water Only Summer 2019

[Oldbear]

It has only been one day so...... It wasn't too hard since my "roof" is a 3' wide sliding glass door section and I scored 250 - 5' x 5 foot used fence boards - so I just built a 10" high frame to fit the door, set it in place and then set the door back on that. I'll post a pic soon but should I "top" these girls. They seem spindly.

really nice looking grow, do mind sharing what your homemade super soil mix is made of?

I used Subcool’s recipe I found online. Am I allowed to post a link to it?

Damn lady!

You and your hubby have some amazing looking colas! Wowzers!

 

[Kanda]

Thanks. Hubby is saying he’s just my garden slave and gadget builder lol. The only plants for him are the CBD to make oils and creams...so one auto and a photoperiod. I’m the smoker...thinking I’ll have a little to share

I see that! That you are! I see your also a great cultivator!

Your gunna have some amazing smoke on your hands!

 

[Kanda]

The smell gets me every time I’m out trying to look at them lol. I’ve been checking with a 10x loupe (not nearly high enough power) and a little breeze will waft the smell of the buds up into my face..........mmmmmmmm.......enough to make me forget what I’m doing.
Getting pretty excited to smoke some.

I bought one of those 30x / 60x LED lighted loupe magnifiers from Amazon for about $10. They work great. I also see people using a wireless digital microscope to take some great pics with. They're around $30-$50. I think I may ask Santa for one of those for Christmas.

 

[Kanda]

I’ve been waffling between the two. I tried one attached to the computer that my hubby brought home from work for me to try and i found it a challenge. You need a very steady hand and my girls are outdoors, so light breeze equals moving subject. Was thinking about trying it again in video mode then take stills from that?

The smell gets me every time

I know!!! I was putting the garbage and recycling out last nite and thought - Jeepers, can you smell them from the road??? I don't need no looky loos poking around!!

Lmao
I think he secretly has plans for the money I’ll be saving.
I do repay him with gourmet homemade organic (mostly) food daily...fresh breads...
We use little to no canned foods and produce almost all our own meat. If we have a cow to milk we utilize that too...we even keep and tan the hides and horns from the Dexter cattle. Livin the Dream here is FarmVille. I act as the resident farm hand (between my full time job and kids) and vegetable fruit gardener, canner and preserving specialist lol. I think the secret is he keeps me busy enough and with enough weed I don’t have time to roll my eyes haha
Life is good....I’m loving it. The farm was something I always wanted to give a try at (except for the shallow dug well and yearly drought conditions) I haul all my water from a 1000 litre cube that we fill in town and haul my buckets and cans around the yard...helps keep me young.

OMG - He has the only "Dream Wife" left in Canada!!!! I hope you remind him of this on a daily basis!!!
We are not so self sufficient here at Soggy Bottom Pond - but she can ferret out a bargain like nobodies business!!!

[Kanda]

Lol. He does tell me I’m a bit of an oddball.
We’ve been building a large addition to our house ourselves from mostly recycled supplies. Been about 5 years now...I’m fairly decent at framing, I weld, do stone mason work, roofing, flooring, ceramic tiles, landscaping hahaha
Just took our 4 remaining cows from the back yard to join the other 3 at the pasture so a little less work at home for a bit....gives me time to get food and weed crop harvested.

 

[greenjeans]

Now all you need is a Norwegian Fiord Pony and yer living my dream!!!!

 

[Kanda]

Lol. No pony for kanda. If it can’t go in the freezer we don’t have one. We do our own hay for the cows and time it truly at a premium. Our oldest at home will be driving this fall and would much prefer if momma bought her a car.
Still no new wood cut for winter here either....must really move that up the list.
Yup. Living the Dream.

 

[Kanda]

I think I’ve decided that today will be the last day for the two purple autoflowes...blackberry and elixir CBD.

Updates to follow.

 

[Backlipslide]

Waiting patiently for that update!!...




You and your family are pretty much as self efficient as you can get!

Not many people live that way anymore. Not many have the drive to do that now a days!

 

[Kanda]

It’s been an eye opener for sure. Hardest work I’ve ever done in my life, and a very humbling experience. Mother Nature can be harsh.

But love it. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

The weed plants have been a pure joy. In fact I’m not sure what I’m going to do when they are all harvested. I’ll be lost.
Crochet a new blanket .....or indoor grow over the winter? I have lots of dark devil seeds lol
