allrighty and feeling tighty
first things first. you have to decide between in or out, properly. this plant we love to grow don't do things half assed. the plastic has got to go if you plan on doing a greenhouse.
i've walk amongst giants in a natural mountain meadow grow and guess what?
nobody was feeding them. the soil was just right so it didn't need man to come in a hurry her up with all the poison for fast growth,,,,,
back on track,
if you stay in soil we need to work on that. sit back and think tomatoes. get a bag of good soil and start there. the plant won't produce much if it's crowded.
give em' room one plant per bucket or grow site. properly done one of your plants should have produced a rootball as big as that container. one plant.
when i first started growing outdoors we did not have a local hydro store to go to. we had a feed store, shit you not. so the nutrient available were strictly farm and garden crop variety. but i'm going to pass a secret to you and all those that read this and grow in soil. taught to me by my dear irish mother (rest her soul),,
Do you have a B.B. Gun or a pellet rifle? Know any mean kids with slingshots?
pass much roadkill where you drive?
talk about yer organics.
on my 5th birthday my mom gave me a red ryder bb gun and spent a day teaching me and showing me how it worked. well sir, i'll tell you what. my sweet and loving mother had the aim of annie oakley and a hate for all birds and critters raiding her amazing garden. mom had a pump up crossman and could kill a garden raider from 75 ft out the bathroom window.
she then sat me down and asked me if i had a nickel. me? a nickel? crap i'm 5 and gaurd my piggy like kirstie guards the krispy's, know what i mean? well mom says i need a license to hunt and i'd better get used to paying for it cause it would only cost more later in life and i could look back and say 'i paid a nickel for my first hunting license'. i reluctantly gave up my nickel, put my name on it and off we went to the back yard. she told me what i could and could not shoot.
birds, rabbit, tree rats gophers and mice. Neighbors pets and the neighbors were off limits, (limits which would later be broken) as were cars, bikes and airplanes, again, sorry mom, i had orders.
how i ever had fun as a kid i'll never know
my mother would bury the dead animals, except the rabbit (still love that stew) in her garden and her garden ROCKED every veggie you could think of. Corn 14 ft high, my gawd this woman was as green as a shamrock! She had horticulturists and botanists come and spend time in her garden. she made some darn good scratch selling flowers, bulbs, fruits and veggies. hell i never had a vitamin from a bottle back then or now.
so thats my secret for outdoor growing. i've raised some monsters using this method. 17ft sativas and 13 ft indicas with 9ft of girth.
now if your planning on using soil inside with no lights then i'm not yer man.
if you want to do a dwc inside well then by golly speak up pilgrim! i know a lil' bit about that subject and learn a bit more every dang ol day. seeing as i'm retired,
or as Red likes to say, 'he's got nothing but time my boomerb, but that plant raisin has given him ocd'. i could rock yer lil' tasmanian tail off with a grow set up for you. But like that wise ol guy that played a shaolin monk told me one wet and drizzly day, 'boomerb, says he to me, all good things take time. time and love boomerb, and stay the fuck out of the closet b'. youch, i'll stick with that piece o wisdom, yes sir.
up to you, monsters outside, or long limbed and spread out like an all you can eat buffet inside in a scrog,,,,,
you tell me pilgrim,,,,,,
yeah, yeah, i know,
ol' boomerb has lots
to blow, just hoping it
hits yer ears and,
not yer toes.
