So this is my second outdoor grow. My second grow in many years. I started indoor in 2005 living in FL I bought a home in 2006 in Lakeland, Fl C-3 cabinet in my M.B closet, 400 watt dual coil ballast. Graduated to 600 watt digi cooltube and a very small tent. 2008
So last year was first grow since 2008 and also first outdoor grow. I have figured out that growing is not like riding a bike lol. My dad had a full veggie garden in this 10x10 space every year for over 30 years. The four corner pots are from last year. Basically 30 gallon raised pots. Botttoms rot out quick. I removed 4 inches of the pots and threw in out in the yard and reconditioned the pots with loose premium coco coir and perlite pots consist of 1/3 peat moss/forest blend soil mixture, 1/3 coco cooir and 1/3 perlite each got 1 cup of dolomite powder. My two new pots have a 1/3 of Organic Peat moss, forest blend mix/1/3 of coco coir and 1/3 of perlite, same on dolomite. I prepped pots by flushing several times and the day before I planted they got 2.5 gallons each of 1 teaspoon per gal cal mag, 1/2 teasp per kelp me kelp you, 2 tbs of Big Bloom per gallon
This is a mobility garden. I have been a walking partial paraplegic since 1994. I used a wooden dining room chair last year. It was covered with black mold so ditched it for an old shower chair. Weatherized. lol
We got 3 strains 2 clones of each. The front corners lined up with chair. Blackberry Fire from a local nursery pheno hunted Purple Caper Seeds already showing black on the leaves.
New middle pots have Blueberry Muffin same nursery humbolt seeds pheno hunted.
Back two are from a different nursery and they are Indiana Bubblegum pheno hunted
Here is my nute lineup My goal this year is to use more organic less synthetic. I will be using Open Seseme and Bembe also. Top selectively keeping them off each other. I bought these 2.5 gallon bottles that have 1/2 gallon markings and my 10 foot hose pumps exactly 1 gallon every 10 seconds.I got 6 of the thick gauge 4 foot tapered cages. I use black zip ties to secure to the cage about 3-4 weeks bloom. Staggered harvests. Blueberry muffin first, week or more later Blackberry Fire and followed by the Indiana bubblegum Somewhere around Oct 10th. Gonna be lots of pretty colors. Open air` 360 degree light and the temps drop so all will be black and blue. I will do my best to update this grow. Hope you enjoy my “Gauntlet of Med Clones” Peace.
P.S first time foliar feeding with anything other than neem oil. This Foop mist is the sh*t I don’t think its worth almost 1.00 an ounce. I just figured out the kelp me kelp you same stuff and 1 teaspoon makes a quart My ADHD appreciates the edit button…
