Hey you Illinois guys! I’m in the tristate area and have been planning my outdoor season for a while now. Next month is time to be starting seeds for this outdoor season. I’m just wondering if everyone has there seeds ready to start and put out on time.
I’ve been growing outdoors here for 20 years. If anyone needs any advice on anything just holler

Lol, yeah man, just gotta dig under 6” of snow.
I’d assume now is a good time to start inside though? Hm, I’ve not given any thought to growing outside here but I do have a friend with a farm…

I’m getting ready for spring myself soon as I make some room in the veg area and decide what to pop photo wise . At least the photos I’m putting out anyway. The autos are going to wait till closer to the end of april to start those and those are decided upon already.

@Bpsteff5052…
I only have the one Superglue plant and she’s still a few weeks away from harvest, but I do have more seeds and plan on growing more soon.
I’d be willing to trade for clones or seeds. I live in Urbana.
Here’s a pic from last weekend.

Just finished a talk with Kevin about the purple head band. The beans were in todays mail.
I liked the coin holder seed container.Bback in the day I collected coins.
I will start the seeds the first week of March and set them out around May 1 st.
Kev suggested Lemon skunk and headband for outdoors.
I’m trying a new technique of starting seeds. I saw a U tube vid where the guy placed seeds in a soft banana and the seeds really took off. I’m experimenting with the banana vs the egg shell method.
Once the seeds are started you just plant the egg or banana into the pot.
I will send U some of my special tomato seeds for Ur vegetable garden.
Cambells 19 is the same strain that is used to make their famous soup. ( I sent Kevin some seeds also. )
The plant is a determinate grows like a bush and the tomatoes ripen about the same time.
two or three times in a season. U can clone the suckers to creat new plants and stagger your planting about 12 to14 days apart The plants are very hardy. Just keep them watered and fed, use egg shells scattered around the top soil to prevent blossom end rot … Mulch works well. Staking will be required.
Next, is my favorite cherry, the name is the black cherry The best flavor. The plant is an indeterminate and grows like a vine which you can train. Sometimes I plant in between my hedge bushes and the plant will mesh with the bush to help support it and the protect it form the cold weather.
The plants take awhile to bear fruit but, they will grow into November if you cover with plastic during a frost. The fruits are a brown black purple and the flavor is unique. Even if you don’t normally grow tomatoes give these two a try.
another Canna bus will soon B launched

@Bpsteff5052, I don’t have anything I can make clones of just yet.
I’m waiting for the God Bud x Herijuana seedlings I have to get bigger, so I can take cuttings from them.
I’m going to germ more seeds, soon, I just haven’t decided what yet.

Thanks man! I always try new varieties. Iv been growing parks f1 beefy boy for about 15 years now, my absolute favorite. Jet star, rutgers, the big bite, and golden girl are all good too. Celebrity isn’t bad. Sweet million, and golden gym make great cherry tomatoes.
Be careful with the skunk varieties as they can take a while to mature

Hey thanks for the kind offer. I will definitely take advantage of U as soon as I have established my indoor set up. I will b visiting a Hydroponics shop in Sycamore IL to get professional help
very soon. I just got my first COVID vaccine on Tuesday.
The hassle getting the appointment was a real nightmare. The hoops and shit required to get it was quite an ordeal. I am relieved that that process is finally begun and will soon be over.
My personal journey with getting the use of Cannabis for pain relief and to help with sleep issues has been quite an interesting adventure. It has lead me to OG and given me an opportunity to try my hand at growing the magical weed. My indoor set up has been quite a separate adventure. Then I got to thinking that it might be cool to develop an exchange or a coop where we can establish a trusted contact group. expand with the OG for the greater good of the group. Like what U just proposed to me.
