I stated this a little late, I apologize, so I'll get straight to the good stuff : )
I started with a 25 x 30 foot pad and filled it with about 23 yards of premium soil from a local nursery.... amazing stuff
The pad is framed in by 2x4's cemented into the ground and the whole thing is wrapped in plastic. No top for now but I might add one later if need be.
I planted 28 clones from a strain called My Girl. I've never heard of it before but the person I got them from had very good results with his outdoor & I must say it's doing very well.
Planted on June 1st. I wanted to get them in earlier but had a problem with the water at the house that I had just moved to. It killed two sets of clones before I figured out that it was the well water that was doing it.
Solution: Run the water through a filtering system to remove all of the sediments & fed it into two 50 gal reservoirs buried in the ground. I use two pumps attached to soaker hoses to water. (soaker hoses are a new addition & def worth the $40 investment)
I gave them Rooter's Mycorrhizae, Superthrive & Earth juice Catalyst about a month after planting ( no need before that bc of the awesome soil)
OK so here's pics to catch you up to the present. I'll be taking more pics this weekend & I'll get them posted soon.
Construction
Clones arrive
Planted 6/1/10
4 1/2 weeks 7/3/10
5 1/2 weeks 7/10/10
8 1/2 weeks 7/23/10
So far they've all been doing really great for the most part. I did have a gopher problem, but i went & got two solar powered posts that you stick in the ground & make a noise that drives them away. Worked perfectly, overnight they were gone & haven't been back since. : )
Also had some minor issues with Spidermites : ( It seems that they just come with growing outdoor, it can't be avoided. Sprayed them pretty well with some stuff I got from a friend that worked great on his greenhouse last year, but I don't want to use it during budding. I'm thinking maybe spray around the outside & release a ton of lady bugs & praying mantis egg sacks in there.... we'll see how it goes...
Well now you're all up to date : ) I have high hopes *no pun intended* This is my first real attempt at growing. I fiddled around with an x's plants when we were together but this is my first time. I have some very knowledgeable friends helping me but I am always open to good advise.
