Coronavirus - The reason 2020 will be my best outdoor year ever!

stealthfader508 · Mar 14, 2020

I know this sounds awful... but social distancing is exactly what my garden needed. Instead of watching March Madness, it'll be greenhouse madness. While the rest of the world binge watches Netflix... I'll be bending new steel hoops and building new steel endwalls (no more collapses), hard wiring two new circuits (no more extension cords), direct plumbing and blumats (no more hoses, buckets, or watering), greenhouse fan, inkbird, and auto vent (no more heat/humidity), taller trellising (no more tying buds), gutters & rain water collection (free water wo dechlorination), and I'm sure I'll find a million other things to upgrade.

What are you working on to get your 2020 gardens ready?

Here's what I'm starting with....

A couple of years ago I had purchased most of the materials to build something that was near identical to what you've got going on. Unfortunately I was evacuated and eventually had to move due to forest fires, so the project is off until I buy another property up north.

Looks like yours will be a huge success.

Here’s what I’ve got going. Got jack herror mother with clones and timewarp, northern lights, grapes of wrath, warrior kush (Browndirt), purple warrior kush, and Alaskan purple thunder fuck.

It’s snowing here today. Hopefully last snow fall this year.

The signs are for my court case if somebody gets that far they already passed other signs, inside the green house is the kill zone.

Hell yea I can’t believe some people who think they can just come onto someone’s property without any consequences.

So far the only two sports I care about, FSU hoops and F1 are gone. Since the world (of sport) as we knew it has ended, I've spent most of my free time on a chainsaw or walking. Will get out to the patches soon though. As soon as my spring crop is done, I'll add some fresh soil to the holes and put in new plants. Most of my new strain seed testing was derailed by one night of 23F, so I'll need to give all those another try. Will pop a few seeds after the new moon on the 24th, but will wait until the waxing moon in April for most of my seed drop.

That is called Castle Law around here. It has been proven in court to apply even if you let one over their head as they are running down the street away from your yard! It helps them leave faster, lol.

I used Chinese bat guano on my plants and now they're wilting, I think the virus may have mutated.

Luckily, I have a plan.

It is a crazy situation, my girls are getting really good care these days too because of it.
Sweet looking setup, any progress?

Not sure if your asking about my progress but here is where I’m at.

stealthfader508 · Mar 29, 2020

Here's what I'm working with so far... all different strains

oldtimemoonshine · Mar 29, 2020

Nice, I have some Browndirt seeds Warrior Kush, grapes of wrath, Northern lights Auto Flower, Timewarp, Sommango, Alaskan purple thunder fuck, and Jack Herror. I cant wait to put them outside and watch them explode with growth.

How young before you top them. I saw a pick on instagram that looks like there pretty small when you cut the top off.

stealthfader508 · Mar 29, 2020

I'll usually top them at the 3rd or 4th node, unless it's stretchy where I may top at the 2nd ... I'll then usually top every node until I get 8 or 16 mains, spread it out and let it go... with the outdoors I may run with 32 or even 64 mains

stealthfader508 · Mar 29, 2020

it doesn't always work for every strain though... for example, the MOB cut I have going doesn't take well to any training at all... it has the tightest node spacing I've ever seen, with incredibly thick stems... any manipulation of the limbs just ends up breaking them... the only thing I can do with it is top it back and let it bush out hard
