Vermonters outdoor and in. Anyone welcome

The weather is clearing out. Soon it will be time. Hope all r ready. I'm missing every one's posts. It's nice to see what my fellow neighbors r up to. We didn't see much action last year.

Well I got the bud room all set up and wired in. Gonna run it for 24 hours to make sure all is good and my temps stay acceptable. It's gonna be sweet to have more room. Now I can concentrate on green house framing.

Just pulled one harvest and I have 20 more ladies to move into the new condo and 40 clones in veg. It's like having a second job I feel like I work 24/7. It is nice to finally have things working correctly finally.

Well I'm pretty impressed with air cooled lights. I've got two thousand watt in a nine by five by five space. Six inch air-cooled hoods 345 cfm fan and my temps have hovered between 70 and 78. Today they where in the low 80 and the ac was on for about 20 min. Granted it's pretty cool here yet but it was worth screwing around with. I'm gonna load her up with plants tonight. I'm definitely see a dehumidifier purchase pretty soon. It does feel humid but I haven't put my fresh air intake in yet. We will see.

FFOF AND HAPPY FROG. GARBAGE. I got four cubic feet mixed up fresh batch 2017 with three cups greensand and four cups dolomite and two cups raw talc mineral. The shit was mixed with well water and superthrive and the shit has a pH of 4.5 what the fuck is up with this company. I'm going back TLO fuck you corporate america

Checked mine last week put the last 9 out puts my toatal to 18. I did have 1 go into flowering hoping she goes back to veg. Stalks have doubled in 2 weeks. Can't wait to check on them after this nice weather we're gunna be having!

I'm glad to see someone on the thread. Yeah man nothing beats that outdoor sunshine. I've been so busy with this new indoor setup I haven't even started my green house. All the plants are still in containers getting neglected. This weekend I plan on doing my beds. I'm going 100 gallon per plant. Kinda sucks no gorrilla this year. Healing up an injury.

I didn't realise that I haven't put up a pic of the new flower room with it's occupants. Excuse the ladies look a little rough. I've been battling major pH problems. Finally have things straightened out.

I wish I could do 1 a hole. But man let me tell ya what I don't mess around digging I go usually to the top of my shovel and as long if not longer then it. I take all the good soil mother nature gives me. I find that I like to have a good 3 foot mound on top of my soil. Kinda like a raised bed. I use alot of home brewed stuff. I'm a diehard fisherman and I use all my junk fish in my holes and let them sit a good 3 4 months. I like crab legs anytime I have them I ground them suckers up. I also like to flip my spots over a good 3 times a year. When it gets hot I bring my fatass up a good 3 miles into the woods wit 2 5 gall pails full of waterchestnuts and I use them as a wet mulch. Aside from that I use 10 10 10 gardentone plant food. 1 cup per patch every month. Wish I could grow indoor with the way my back is!

Yeah it's fun as hell gorrilla grow but it is hard ass work. Sounds like you got your setups figured out. I like the mounds as well it helps hold in moisture for those times when you miss a watering or we get a dry spell. I will be posting progress through the season. I encourage you to update and post pictures. I'd like to get a show and tell thread for us vermonters. Any one is welcome though.

Here is an update on things. Farm you suck. Making my own soil again. The whole point of buying fox farm was to not have to feed and fuck with shit until flower. However those greedy bastards have done something to there mix and it sucks. All the work you have to do to prep it might as well build your own. Putting in the outdoor green house plot this weekend. here is my next run this one is two trays of 25 and a veg chamber of 22. Between all my plants I've got over a hundred. Way to much work. Think I'll be cutting back the numbers to find a happy medium. Either that or buy four more thousand watt setups and quit my job. I WISH. HAPPY PLANTING.

I ran way too many plants last year. {outdoor from the start} This season I'm trying to keep my numbers down to something manageable. Anyway, the high cost of Mason jars was killing me.

Yeah they r costly. Thankfully my wife likes to hit free piles. So we usually just have to buy lids. I'm thinking of getting an old referigerator and try to store in that. Alot of old time welders store there rods to keep moisture out of them. I know I need to build a new storage shed just for drying this year. Can't wait to see your plants again sandhill and thump. JOHNNY APPLESEED IT.

Wow, you guys in VT have choppers searching for grows that much huh? I'm in Boston and I've never seen a chopper looking for grows but I'm in a lot more urban of an area than VT. I've got a house right outside Brattleboro that I go to sometimes in the mountains and was thinking of throwing a few plants out there when I go up next week. I wouldn't be able to take care of them though so they'd be pretty much on their own.

Well I got half my containers built and filled with dirt. Right around 100 or so gallons per bed. Have three more to build. I'm using my own farmed dirt right out of the forest. I'm also going to do a 25 gallon side by side comparison plain dirt against ffof. We will watch free dirt blow that ff garbage out of the water.

Also fellow posters be aware I do believe I had interaction PM with what I suspect to be a COP. so just be careful. Hopefully I'm just being pnoid but better safe than sorry. I'll throw up some update pics tonight.

The weather has been terrible got six going this year will be indoors until established. Second batch of seedlings first ones died to cold. Good luck all.

Yeah it was a crappy weekend here in Boston. We got an insane amount of rain the other day. From what I read this week should be pretty sunny with a few little rain showers at night. But it's New England so you never know with the weather up here smh.

I dread this shit. Between mold and caterpillars up here it drives me crazy. I've been spraying with BT bi weekly as a preventive measure for the pillars.

Neem oil will help you with mold. I don't recommend using it after flowering but that's just my personal preference. I've never had an issue with caterpillar. Usually it's slugs. Witch I use beer traps and Diotomacis earth to battle them.

The season seems to be sliping by to fast. I usually start planting just around middle of May with established plants that I start in February. But with this new indoor project I started last fall has kept me super busy. You all will do well just have patience and it will all come together. One good lesson I've learned over the years is you can do more damage by reacting to quickly. Don't worry they won't die overnight usually. But observe and research and be sure your diagnosing problems correctly and treating correctly. And if your in just nature's dirt don't even worry it will be all good.

24 days into flower. Black dog from hso has buds that are triple the size of the other girls. Hopefully it will be some killer smoke.
