Not Time Yet to move outside in New York 2021

With that many plants in containers, they obviously require quite a few hours per day.
I had a similar number of plants in containers many years ago, although they were spread out over 6 acres in NW NJ. 5 to 6 hours per day minimum invested in daily maintenance.

These days I seldom have more than 20 plants
I salute your impressive effort on behalf of your plants.
Best of luck bringing them home this autumn!!

It takes time I work from home 2 or 3 days a week which helps

water with a hose, feed with Hozon saves some time

potting up takes most of the time and moving them around

I am up a 4 am so it gives me something to do

in 1984 I lived in Hackettstown NJ loved it work in Pine Brook NJ

was a 45 minute drive one way that took 30 minutes RT 80 is a fast road

all the best

I was just a little bit south of Belvidere, a little west and south of Hackettstown.

In addition to my container plants I had several guerrilla plots spread out in the woods.
By far the very best native soil I have ever used for my in ground plants. Never had to add anything to the rich and loamy native soil…the biggest plants I ever grew. The only real problems I had to contend with were the renegade Deer and then the onslaught of PM and bud blight beginning in late September until harvest.

NJ is called the Garden State for a good reason.

I was in a LTR with a “horse crazy lady” :slight_smile: up until a few years ago.

We had a ranch where we bred gaited horses for trail riding. She used to show (and had won World Grand Champion!) but we were so busy between day jobs, long commute, making/selling little horses, and caring for all the animals (usually around 40-45 horses, cow, goats, donkeys, pigs, cats, dogs, geese, ducks, chickens, etc.) there wasn’t much time to ride, let alone show.



Sorry for the equine hijack!

mostly everything in my life descends into madness giving enough time

I have way more plants them I need, in a state where you cannot grow

oh well as they say “life goes on within you and without you”

as I said I bought some clones after the first of the year to get some new genetics

but still had mites and they beat these clones badly

with the hopes that Uncle Andy would let medical patients grow

go figure Covid-19 comes along

Banana Punch

Cake Crasher

DoSiDo ICMAG cut

Durban Poison (09 DUTCH PASSION)

Damn dude you’re getting er done there haha. Are you going to keep them all in pots or chuck them in the ground?

3 Likes

they are going to stay in pots

I just put up 4800 watts of mixed MH/HPS lights so I will more than likely

see how many I can fit into a 8 foot by 12 foot space and move them inside mid august

to finish and the rest outside in pots

but since my eyes are always bigger than my stomach

I may have bite off more than I can chew

time will tell it always does

be safe and stay free

A question for all you OGers share your saga wisdom

why is it when you could care less if plants live or die they flourish

and you have ones that you pray for them to live they die?

riddle me that

The answer is LITFA, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger :mechanical_arm:, it’s like spoiling a kid for giving him too much attention, I suppose that an overfeeded and ovetwatered plant is less prepared for tough times than one we don’t care much about, she gets used to … :sunglasses:

Dequilo , you got brass balls , much respect CNY local here , I also tried NY medical program, what a joke . I did learn about cartridges as you also had to . Dangerous stuff , most people do not know once they go above 4,5 watts battery they are also burning the extraction chemicals. I see people buying huge batteries and using them on medical cartridges and getting deathly sick , NY is trying to poison people. I hope this works out for you , they are still throwing people in jail and flying helicopters. My neighbor just got busted with four plants , it’s going to cost him thousands plus a record . I stopped all growing two years ago when they started talking of legalization. Two years later nothing . Didnt want to risk it with legalization around the corner , so I thought. Good luck brother , Im stuck with Canadian drow m39 beasters or whatever it’s called now and occasionally some uncured junk people are ordering in the mail .to make thing worse coumo has already made it clear only medical patients will be allowed to have small grows , I love ny , I hate ny

thank you for that. the medial program is a joke

Oh well, it’s a direct translation of a spanish saying “Lo que no te mata te hace más fuerte” referred to humans, was that idea translated to plants what I wanted to say. When they are unnatended they tend to be more resilient than those we are constantly checking, overwatering and overfeeding. Your plants look beautiful :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:, have a nice weekend and stay safe … beer3|nullxnull
