Outdoor Growtogrow.. Michigan Unlimited multi strain organic grow

[Growtogrow]

It has been rough.

Looking forward to seeing what your projects bring this year. Your OD grows are inspiring

playing catch-up here....

Very juicy line-up GTG! I really like that you're dipping into the new-stuff pool like you are,... you know me, I'm a variety slut!I also like how you're trying fast finishers and putting that to the test! .... The grow cage is always Phat-City View attachment 1276998
... new property is quite lovely, looks nice and remote/private as well... What's the water situation?


What's this on the misfires?! I hate that crap.... Duly noted on the Seed Shitty stuff, that's not acceptable at all! Have you barked at them yet?
Did most of this lot come from Seed City, or just some?
I imagine you have other selections to take their place -

It'll be a hoot to finally see Pineapple Poison run outside, ditto for Wild Thai (maybe?)... I hope you get a speedy pheno with the more solid buds, and not a throw-back Thai dom. dragon queen that takes her sweet f'ing time!

I'll tag along for this.

Hey there I'm deleting the 2021 thread and going to continue on with this thread it'll just be easier for me and everybody else who had been following me I figure.

Thanks @Waira

Yes I wrote to Thedevilsharvst... Nothing back yet. It's been a few day's.
But not anymore yet. Going to thou.
I've got to get in the paper work to see which seeds to what breeder on some of them. Cuz Seed City sent some seeds in little tubes out of the breeder packets
I've want to try popping the rest of them seeds before I write all of them and ask what they're going to do about it.
I got a bit pissy about it and haven't wetted any more. But I'm over it now and moving on.
Yup I've got a shit load more seeds to try. At lest 40 or 50 different strains. You know me The seed collector.

Just to name a few

Plus many more and I've got my own gen's to play with as well. There's some Gen's around here too. There's some dude around here that thinks his wedding cake cut is worth $5000.00 wtf...WTF piss off MF
.... And there it is.... Im pissed..Again..

The wedding's that didn't pop. I wanted to grow wedding cake again to show this dude up. I smoked his wedding cake . it's good but it is not worth no 5g"s no how. F... That.

I moved this so you'll have to open it up to read it.

 

[Growtogrow]

Okay that wasn't so hard to do I've got all the thread moved over here now so this will be the home thread from now on.
The only other threat I have going is the Pineapple poison thread and the community grow Pineapple Poison Super Sativa Seed Club thread.
So I'll make all updates hear from now on.
Thanks for stopping in everybody

The new spot looks amazing bro, I'm glad for you. You have a lot of work to do but plenty of inspiration too

Yes a lot of work. But a little at a time.
I got the gate made and in place.

Work...ugh...

I've got a good many plans thou.
First working on the electricity power plan. I got to make up my mind if I want to spend the money on the DIY 48v lithium iron phosphate batteries with solar/wind generation . Or if I want to use a different type of battery system ?I think in the long run I'm probably better off of with the lithium then any other electric storage battery source.
Solar panels and wind generator I've picked out. I just need to pull the trigger on the plan and get it moving.

FWIW, we're now using a nickle/iron Edison battery, they are supposed to be long-lived and kind of hard to mess up lol. We have twenty 1.6 volt cels. We only had lead-acid ( L-16s) before so that's all I can compare to. Batteries are definitely expensive but you want something that will last. We have a lot of those dead lead-acid batteries around.

 

[Growtogrow]

So it's a bitch to buy seeds from good breeder's with good genetics and pay the BIG money for those genetics and buy packages of their expensive high-quality genetics in 5-3 seeds pkt and to not have any of those seeds germinate.
Not one

So far none of the following genetics that I've tried to germinate since Christmas have made it to the cup.

None of the SeedCity super lemon haze popped at all. The devils harvest Strawberry sour diesel None 3 out of 5 so far are duds. Just dropped #4 ugh. Wedding cake also UGH !!!
I had more luck with seeds from 3 years ago...then I had from these seeds I just bought this last fall 2020.
I don't get it.

I wrote The Devil's Harvest last week in an email but have had no response from them. If this seed don't pop and the next 1 don't pop...
I'm going to cut into them hard core. Everywhere I can't.
Just because they hadn't responded to me..... It's one thing to tell me to go f*** off.. But it's another thing Not to say nothing at all.

Right. Those are good batteries.
I've been looking into electric fork truck batteries also. They can last round 20 years as well. The Edison batteries are good I guess for between 10 and 15 years. The lithium iron phosphate batteries are good for 10 to 20 years or around 4000 to 7000 charge cycles.
And you're right you could mess them batteries up that's for sure. I've been studying them for about 5 months now and I think I've got a pretty good handle on how to set my system up and balance the batteries.
I found chemistry on a couple of the battery manufacturers that allows you to charge these batteries without heating them at 27°f.
On AliExpress I found 280 amp hour 3.2 volt lithium iron phosphate cells for a lot of 4 for under 500 bucks.
To cut on wiring cost Im going with a 48v system with 48 volt AC wind turbine 3 leg wild AC to the regulator and from then there to the 48 volt battery charger and then from the battery Bank to the 48-volt inverter to 110 AC. At that point I'll plug that into my fifth wheels existing power system to run the entire components on the inside of the trailer until I come up with more money to upgrade my components inside the trailer and the other trailer that we're putting on the property as well.
I need a 16c battery bank to get 48v. At that AliExpress site I can get 16 of those batteries from this one manufacturer that are grade A cell's 280 ah 3.2 volts for under $1,600. Then I would need a 40 - 500 amp BMS to control that battery system.
I'm still studying though as I said earlier hadn't made my mind up completely yet. The Edison batteries are on my shortlist. There's other batteries that I'm considering for this..if I have to I might get the dartboard out and put some tags up there and start throwing darts..

Yeah, many places doing "stealth" shipping have to remove seeds from original packaging to make it work... Never liked that but whaddya gonna do?
I'm not sure what they will do, but I'd make a polite but stern case, definitely state you are 100% legal and an long experienced grower.

Huh, I see an interesting Dinafem tin there, Super Silver (Haze) I assume? I've not seen that before from them, must be pretty old?

As you know, Dina'/HSO is probably dead, and as for the existing stock, who knows! It might be wise to clone anything you grow just in case it's a true winner, and maybe make S1's down the road. I have the GC Fast, Mango Sapphire and Black DOG still to run... :smoking:

Oh yeah, would you like me to merge this thread with the continuing OD thread you have already? I'm not sure what access to controls you have as a thread originator... Title changes may be under a time restriction for you, but staff can tinker at any time, so let me know what I can do for you brudda!

 

[WildBill]

Damn dude! A nice thread for one stop shopping to see a bunch of different canna!

Just as a climatic reference point, what general area are you in Michigan?
