This is my first Journal.....I have sucessfully completed a first time, 12 plant indoor grow this past winter. I have also constructed several DWC Bubbleponics units that are in use. DWC is amazing! They are super cheap and easy to build, alot faster, bigger gains with the plant and seems to be pretty worry free. For indoor growing, DWC is the way to go in my opinion.
I have now started 150 plants that I am going to transplant outside.I have these transplanted into medium sized ,drainable, styrofoam cups. I've been reading everything I can on gorilla/outdoor growing that I can. I've also been gathering the necessary equipment that I feel I need to complete the operation....
Over the past couple of weeks I've gone to Wal-Mart and purchased a few odds and ends thing.
- Rubbermaid 20 gallon storage tote to transport 25 plants ($4.50)
- Machette to cut and clear paths through thick briars ($15)
- Rechargeable 12V One-Million candlepower spotlight ($15)
- Mini shovel to dig holes (that's what you do with it) ($7)
- Garmin handheld GPS unit with memory for 500 locations ($150)
Lastnight I took out the first batch of 25. I straped the Rubbermaid tote with my plants in it to the back rack of my Kawasaki Prarie 4X4 along with all the other items listed above and headed out towards the woods. I tried to keep the locations along the woodline where briars were thick. I chopped a narrow path through them and cleared out the center. When I was done for the night, I had planted all 25 plants in 2 hours in 10 different locations. Now I only have to do that 6 more times. haha. I stored all the locations with the GPS so I don't lose any! I think some are going into the corn fields which will be awsome using the GPS!
I figured out of 150 plants, 75 (1/2) would be female at a guess. Then I figured I should be able to get close to a Q.P. per plant. In the end I hope to have a good crop.
I will try my best to keep things updated as things progress throughout the spring/summer maybe even add some pictures when they really start to grow.
Thats all for now.....~Outlaw~
