Looking for Assistance on a 100 lb. Grow

Hello growers,

I am currently planning a massive grow (in my view) of a hundred pounds. I plan to grow 60 plants commercially to produce 46,000 g or 102 lbs.

I plan to use GHS Arjan's Haze #1, GHS Church, Sweet Seeds Ganesh Spirit, Sweet Green Poison, and Sweet Seeds Black Jack. I will grow 6 plots of ten spread along the countryside. Unfortunately, I am worried about soil,nutes, etc. I am hoping to grow as organically as possible.

I've heard good things about Fox Farm so what soil mix would you suggest? Would I germinate with light warrior then transplant into ground with a 2-1 mix of ocean forest and light warrior? What nutes should I use? Should I use anything for strengthening roots? When flowering should I use molasses potash or something similar?

This is going to be my largest grow to date so I trying to plan everything to a tee. Any and all information is helpful and much appreciated!

i am not saying it can't be done because it can, but how are you planning to get 100+ lbs from 60 plants. you are aware that most plants average 2.5 oz... this means you need closer to 640 plants to grow 100lbs. to get this from 60 plants you would have to yeild per plant about 10 times the average yeild of 1 plant.

If you're asking these kinds of questions, it's obviously you're taking on too much too soon. Your seed choices have hazes that might grow over 12 feet tall, to Green Poison that may grow to 4 ft. You have plants that will be done early and plants that will be done very late. I believe your yield estimates to be off too, unless you are vegging them a long time. You'll need to amend the dirt area adding tons of organic matter- that 6 different spots of lugging bags of stuff. I could go on and on..........

2.5oz per plant, outdoor??!?! THATS A JOKE!! I've never heard of less than at least 8oz per plant outdoor.

Yeah thats a low ball estimate I used dodgy bag seed and got better than that out of a winter grow (9hrs of daylight)

Don't forget that this person is in Cuba...

You can get Fox Farms in Cuba? I thought there was some Embargo...
Talk to some Jamaicans. You could tie together a couple of sharks and water ski over there in like 2 hours.

IFu want 100+lb youll have to put in a bit more than that. Id say u will get 20lb tops and thats if u dont get ripped, eaten ,plants stunted from def etc. and more often than not one of these things will happen.

i aint from the states and i only use local soil with no brands...i get more than 10oz per plant on harvest. and to think that cuba grows good tobacco, coffee, cocaine and all that shity drugs, im pretty sure they have good soil out there and better growing conditions. so no need for those sharks to get a bag of fox farms.

100lbs of dry bud will require about 300-400lbs of wet , how many people will be helping you harvest and trim, watering those fields will be an issue as well

this is your best mature answer...if this is your first time doing commercial planting and have never tried growing those strains...try a few batch first and see what happens instead of jumping to what you think will work. desperation is not the answer, but patience will do fine for now. and dude, theres so much more strains there that can yield more than your choices

too much commercial products making you more confused? seems like you have never tried growing any weed or if you have, i would suggest that your not quite there yet to be massing out your harvest. do more research and a few trial and errors...i am new to this country i am right now...i had a few successful grows and i just messed the plants that i germinated last month which i never intend for it to flower too soon. i guess, i just miss calculated the season for cultivating outdoors. like ask yourself when is the best to germinate my plants, long day or shorter night, summer or winter etc etc...

If you read reports on the strains present all of them finish in mid oct or earlier except for Haze which finishes at the end of october. And since I'm germinating them indoors for a week or so at the end of April then moving them outside at the beginning of may that will give me over 2 1/2 months of veg outside with hopefully the best soil and ratio of nutes. It is quite possible to get 102 from these plants but that is the optimal yield possible from each. I am attempting to get the optimal by excessive planning and research so do you have any suggestions relating to soil or nutes or growing?

If OP was actually serious about and capable of this he/she wouldn't be here asking questions. If my math is right that would be roughly 28 zips per plant, good luck with that.

All the strains will finish around mid oct or earlier except for the haze which stops at the end of oct. However, if grown properly it can yield 1000g+ so Im researching as much as possible. Also lets just focus on the grow aspect not on the site. So do you have any suggestions with soil, nutes, strain knowledge, etc.

Well then good luck to you, I can be of no assistance since I grow only indoors on a fairly small scale( got to keep it legal). I don't know what your plans are after you have the 100 pounds but in some places they'd nail you to a cross if popped with that much weed.

What the fuck are you talking about? 2.5 oz per plant, outdoors? You are aware he said outdoors, right?
