Jraven's Alaska Sunroom Grow

[Jraven]

I think you'll like it, it's a real trucker.

Fishings been real slow so we're taking the opportunity to put up some of the winter stash... Here's a smoker load of coho salmon. Most of this will be lightly smoked and put into jars.

This Deep Blue C got chopped. It had a much better root system than the first round of plants...I was more careful with the watering but the drainage is still poor in the pot, it was wet in the bottom. There was some GBD soil in the bottom and it does appear that the roots reached it. This was a late transplant from a small pot and it stayed small at @ 15".

Here's some of my OxEZryder. These 3-in-a-pot spent the summer outside but are now in the solarium and are showing some frost. They were 5 and I pulled 2 males.

Here's a couple that grew in the solarium, spending most of their veg period in small cups. They're getting it on pretty well now. They are 25" and 24" inches tall.

Here's somethin to whet your appetite

And a little breakfast

Anywho, hope this finds you all having a good time my friends.

[robbio]

Man that salmon looks good.I used to go fishing all the time.I love me some fresh fish.T hat deep blue is very nice.Peace

 

[Eyes on Fire]

hell yeah man,a smoke and a slab O fish and then another bowl of the Sea

 

[Jraven]

Thanks for the good vibes everyone... the fish is a big part of our winter stash, I love warm from the smoker but the jars are nice too later on.
This DBC is heavier and stickier than the earlier ones, it had a reasonable root system unlike the others. Looking forward to toking this one.
Oh yea also I see I have more rep points than I used to and haven't had any notifications so Thank You to all who have contributed!

Reading through your entire thread, I felt like I was reading a book!!! Lots of stuff going on for you!!!! I've never been to AK, and I have always wanted to go, and reading your thread is making me want to go even more now!!! Are the winters bad, other than the near complete darkness??

 

[Jraven]

Hey @GodAmJT bro thanks for stopping by, glad you enjoyed the read. You know there's a lot of different climate aspects to AK. In this part of the state we have @5-6 hours daylight in the dead of winter and the weather I would describe as mild maritime generally not usually real cold or snowy..Kind of like the Cascade foothills in northern Washington state... To enjoy the winter here where I'm at, a person wants to have something to do. There's not a lot happening so ya gotta make it up lol.

 

[GodAmJT]

lol I get what you're saying!! I have some friends who were stationed down in Anchorage, and he was originally from Louisiana, so his first winter there was a mind-blowing experience, to say the least!! I live outside of Boston, so we get the dreary, sometimes exceptionally snowy winters, and we definitely get more daylight than that, but not a ton more.. I'd say we get about 8-9hrs of daylight in the dead of winter.. Nothing like going to work and it's dark, and going home from work, and it's dark!! lol I'd be hard-pressed to convince the wife to move out that way though, as she's a fan of perpetual summertime, so we had considered moving down South.. Doesn't mean I still don't want to go up to AK someday and enjoy the nature up there!!! I could definitely find stuff to do like fishing, hunting, snowmobiling; stuff like that!!! Can't really do that on a regular basis where I'm at..
