Hello for all those of you who have not peeked into my garden this year!!! I had a suuuuppper late start, got all my babies in by June 15th. Some of you may say, hmm, june, that's not bad...but here in northern cali, we like start our plants indoors in Jan, and put them outside around 4-20. At least people who want to yield more then a few pounds per plant..im talking up to 15 pounds a plant average!! Unfortunately, getting into my spot so late, im lucky to have what i do have. So fare i have a number of problems ranging from nute deficiency, to over nuting, dealing with every species of insect in nature it seems like, and most recently, outdoor mites..These are the worst. They spread so fast and destroy plants as quickly as they came..So fare they're only a few plants that are really infested, but not to the point where it's all shrivels up and about to die..My friend told me that mites lay dormant in/on oak trees, and come out to play mid around mid august...early in the grow, i hit the plants with a Sevin, which seemed like it killed EVERY bug that tried to perch on my plants..which may not have been the best idea i'm seeing now. I killed about all of my beneficial insects, and now there's almost no insects out there to eat those f*ckin mites. Last nite, i let go 3000 lady bugs onto the badly infected plants, and i took a look at them this morning...not looking good...almost all the lady bugs are either dead on their back, or dying on their back..i did what the directions told me, spray them with sugar water so it glues the wings shut and they don't fly away, but it seems like it just incapacitated them..They use their wings to move around, and push themselves up off their back, and they are not able to do that without wings it seems like...im goijng to go get another few thousand and not spray them with anything... I'm trying to stay as organic as possible, with the exception of the Sevin, so fare so good. Started of my rainbow grow nutes in veg, and then switched to fox-farm because i was not liking my results with the rainbow..it seems like my plants were not as healthy and lush green as they should have been.. I'm now using big bloom, and tiger bloom..big bloom is organic, but i guess tiger bloom isn't... The plants are in 65 gallon smart pots, filled with a soil blend that i bought in bulk. I believe its a 50/50 blend of organic compost, and soil..they're being watered 2 times a day..5am and 3 pm i believe.. automatically with 1/4"(this im not sure of) soaker hose.(maybe 1/8"?)
Strains.... 15 grapefruit diesels 15 grapefruit kush 20 purple kush 8 or so head band 8 or so master kush 20 or so purple erkle, and grandaddy purple....(they were mixed up when i got them, not sure which are which) Anywho, here's some pictures from start to today!!! Hope you all enjoy!!!! ![]() P.S. these picks are up to July 28th

Hmmm....its very possible, but i washed the plants off 2 times before applying them..and i haven't sprayed for almost a week now..i think it was the soda water that did them in..i mixed half Hansen vanilla cream with half water..maybe too much carbonation..

SWEEEEET! I love Cali. Just curious, but how'd you get a license to grow that many? Are you providing for a dispensary? I'm only asking because I am so jealous. I can only grow 6 mature...
