Wowza u can grow just about anything nice ! I'm hoping to have time for a nicer garden next year if I can find time I bought a small rotor tiller this year n I should have not cheaped out ! If i would have spent a little more i could have gotten one twice the size that propelled itself n made life a lot easier. Being a cheap ass is always getting me.
Its been up and down for sure. It started out with rain almost every day for over a month flooding and cold then summer hit and it flew into the 90's and humidity hit to where you could swim through the air almost lol. Now the ground is so dry its cracked like the desert I've been watering my gardens every other day with 150 feet of hose shit gets heavy dragging it up and down the hills on my property. The creak out back behind my grow is just about dried up so not getting much water their. Im hoping it stays dry like this through mid october at least its helping but every time it does decide to rain its a quick poor then done just enough to wash my insect repellants off then the bugs come a runnin. I spray with lavender, tea tree oil, aloe, h202 and milk after every time it rains then I sprinkle the paprika and cinnamon dash the ground in used coffee grounds and put down a line of dish soap around the grow. I will never put anything on my plants that says not to breath or ingest if i cant eat it or ingest it I wont use it. Next year i'm doing a cover crop of flowers and plants that naturally deter insects and attract predator bugs which bugs and animals are my worst enemies outside during the growing months. I would say its been a great year so far though lots of work but honestly id be board without it. I'm just hoping to be on cruise control for the rest of the grow though im seeing some small flowers forming and im getting itchy for the end I always get nervous towards the end of a big grow like this any grow you spend the whole year planning and preparing for and its anyone's game at this point watch what you say who you say it to don't even trust family when you are talking big $$$$ keep your eye on the prize and keep your game face on! I spent more on security this year than on the actual grow!
What do you mulch with ? I don't know a whole lot about it but their are different kinds aren't their? I grew up on an old farm and we tilled everything so it was just how I learned how to do things but Ive been hearing a lot about no till and the positive benefits its has. You must reuse your soil in your indoor grows to be no till correct? I am leaving the bottled neuts behind on my inside grows after this summer and some salt lock issues and decided to go with dry amendments from happy frog fruit and flower all purpose. And plan on brewing some teas at home using coffee grounds and banana peals with pulverized egg shell.
Looking very healthy brother!
Right on I appreciate you stopping by. I'm trying to get a handle on the indoor autoflower grow style as well but honestly 2 totally different creatures to me. I'll get it though I didn't start growing trees outdoors overnight either. I honestly love being an outdoor person although the sun is getting quite aggressive over the years a lot more powerful than the sun when I was a younger. Honestly I prefer the taste of the smoke I grow right in the ground I can taste the earth in it. The smoke seems to b way more potent and terp profile way better outdoors!
