Outdoor Growtogrow.. Michigan Unlimited multi strain organic grow

Hey fade n Smokey :bighug:how y'all doing :cheers:
:shrug: Yeah...not to much I can do outside until 420. :snow1::snow2:And at that I will have to have the clear tarping up to protect the crop from frost. Also I'll be running t5 lights to extend my daylight hour's to 18 hour's a day until the end of May. Maybe longer if the weather is like last year. But will be flipping by 6/15 to harvest by 8/15
All the little girls you see in that room..some of those are for a crop that I'm going to grow inside between now and probably end of June. I figure I'll be harvesting that one then. And some of these babies rae for the summer outside grow.
But I'm moving a little slower than I care too.
" it is what it is " right:shrug::gassy:
I still got a lot of stock left over from last Summer's Harvest. I really haven't had a need to grow you know what I mean.
Still doing real good :pop: got a quarter of a small deep freezer full still.
I'm setting up to run 4 mother plants and knock that down later on when I start grafting:smokeit:that way there I can still keep my 4 or 5 main strains around that everybody really likes and then I can play with other strain and still be with inside of our 24 plant quota that we're allowed on our lic's
I use the Black Cow every year.
I've found bugs in a lot of commercial soils that said that they had been sterilized.:haha:
But bugs are just a fact of outside farming. And indoor too when you're an organic farmer.
But with a IPM system it's all manageable.
So I intend to be in the outside garden around 4:20 weather permitting but the plants are growing now and they'll be getting acclimated to the outside very soon as I'll be putting them on the back covered porch under a t5 light to get them use to the temperature in 3 gallon plastic pots.
I usually use Fiber pots. But this year I'm going straight in the ground nothing around them but a ring to hold the water from just rolling all over the ground. I have a little bit of work to do out in my garden outside cuz I want to change it up a little bit for security reasons and so here in the next week or two we're going to start moving posts around and fencing and getting things a little easier for me to secure it with my new electric fence. Everything takes time though you know Bros. And I just haven't been real motivated and besides that the frost just got out of the ground here the other day so I can actually dig a hole now. Not that any of these posts will be permanent everything I put up is temporary and can come down really easy. That way there if any code violator people come by I can knock it down in a heartbeat and they can't say crap to me and it didn't cost me a lot you know...:pighug:

So the little one's are liking the heat and the big light. The humidity was very low around 33%. I added a cool mist vaporizer to the room and the humidity is still low but in tolerable range of 44%. The bottom of good 42% to 65%
After adding moisture to the air
and heat n light they have jumped up and started growing good.
So here we go:headbang:

Hey GTG bro :bighug: , i am doing fine thanks yourself? , sun is out, rain forested has not arrived:woohoo:Clear tarpinging is that a clear trap that still lets light in? Sounds like a good idea if the weather is one and off shower/sun, which comes here with the south easterlys. Interesting with the lights, 2nd time growing photos for me, give them extra light then out for winter harvest ( along with autos hopefully). The electric fence will keep out the 2 legged walking gnats ( the theives) :haha: and maybe even wildlife who might want to peck or eat the girls. Talk about bugs in mixes i got really cheap garden sol to fill a few holes - its a bag of gnats, be release into yard. Interesting Bro, the Mother plant, my brothers and I want to clone the Photos we have so can grow in spring and conserve the seeds. Nice directly in the ground, the plan here also in the white house (greenhouse) still not enough natural plant hedge yet to do in the open. I noticed also when the humitiy was low at first with the plants it took a bit longer, all is good again - have the younglings basking in the sun this morning. Hopefully it wont be like last year for you there , when it rained so much , and we were too dry here.

Clear tarp last year and t5 lights.
The tarp isn't all that clear... But it is though???
I know right.:drunks::yeahthat: it's got a weave like grid sandwiched between 2 clear polly sheets. And it's Not UV filtered. So all the sun that dose get through is as good as it can get for being tarped. :shrug: :pass:

4' x 20' ft. Making the grow cage 20' long X 14' wide X 8' high on the north side and 6' on the south.
I dug down 8" and removed the yard soil from the new space and will replace it with composted amended organic soil:yay:
