I'm having to go to a different spot this year, and am only going to be doing my 6 plants that are legal on my script. It's a good thing, cause last year, sure, I had 18 plants of my own, but I had to grow 46 to get it.This year I can pour my heart and soul into these 6 plants, and make em' as nice as possible.
I'm growing in 200 gallon smart pots, and 100% organic, like last year, but I'm using 50/50 cocoa/soil mix. I'll get into all that is going into that when I have pics of it all going in. I'm strating with a raw piece of ground, that's unlevel as you can see, so I have to start by weedeating all the grass down, cutting a couple small trees, and hauling sand down there to make a level base for the smartpots.
I'm growing the Romulan, that was so successful last year, and 1 Blue Dream, and that's it! The one plant in the middle of the one pic, is the Rommy Mommy, the one outside is the Blue Deam, and the ones under the UFO in the greenhouse, are the other Romulans. I have my wifes script along with my little brothers on an indoor 8x8 room that I'm doing with him, that we just put into flower. I can use the indoor room to produce my seed strains I'm working on, and have my variety of strains that I like to have, so I can grow all these Romulan outside, without worrying about getting tired of it. I'll be updating this regularly, and I'm getting soil delivered tomorrow, so maybe more pics then.

OK, what I have here is the base soil mix I'm usuing. I have 200 gallon smart pots, which hold 1 yrd. of soil, or 18-20 bgs @ 1.5cu.ft. bags.
So, each smart pot will get, 7 bags (1.5cu. ft. ea.) of Manna Mix, which is a cocoa based planting mix, with organics added (compost,bat guano,worm castings).
Each will get 1 bale of compost (3 cu. ft.)
1 bag of worm castings (1.5 cu. ft.)
Half a bag of perlite (1.5 cu. ft. )
Half bag of vermiculite (1.5cu.ft.)
Equivalency to 6 bags @ (1.5 cu.ft.) Soil mix
The soil mix is actually 50/50 Humus/potting soil, so there will actually be less than 25% soil in the mix. I will be adding organic amendments to the mix as well, and I will list them, when I get em' all rounded up so I can get pics.
To answer that Q. The pics were taken from one side so I don't get the landowners house in the pics, so it's not THAT far down the hill, but it's far enough! I have to use a small tractor with a small trailer to haul it all down. It will be time consuming hand mixing all this as I put it all in, but I'll be sure to get the ammendments in the pot where I want them, and mixed well otherwise, so good control of how it's structured from bottom to top, will be a big plus.
I'll be feeding only organic teas and kelp, again this season, and will get in more depth how I go about all that is coming this season too, so stay tuned!

This looks like a winner. I'm subd.
