The Great Outdoors Grow of 2OO8 - Gilfman's First Time

Gilfman · #1 06-05-2008, 11:50 AM

his grow was started in the third week of May (started seeds)

I germed seeds in paper towels til cracked then i sprouted them in Miracle-gro moisture control potting soil in 16 oz cups.

When they grow about 6 inches tall I will put them in the ground with a mixture of peat moss, perlite, bone & bl

d meal, and bat guano.

My site is a clearing in the woods (some cleared natural other by me)

I placed them in cinder blocks to help keep them concealed.

Weather started off has been absolute shit flash floods for last 3 days and hardly any sun .. slow start for my plants . but hopefully the sun will come out and help them.

I have about 12 plants that i will be trying to grow from mid-grade bagseeds.

Here are some pics

First pic is from the edge of the woods .. no plot noticed

.. one is where i fell down the hill into a small stream

.. next are my plot where the magic happens .. and the opening in middle of woods where my sun shines through (sometimes) .. rest of are my little plants in their hiding spot.. The growth hasn't even began yet .. watch these monsters grow!

PS .. pics were taken with a video camera .. its not meant for still images .. thats all i have that is mine right now ..

lol why not make a grow journal isntead of a poll...

anyways, it seems like they should grow well, as long as they have lots of sun and plenty of room in the soil. if everything goes well you should have a great harvest! just watch out for those deer, bugs, cops and thieves!

yeah i made a grow journal .. but i like the outdoor growing thread better though ... and squirrels u forgot squirrels they were my first problem .. we have LOTS of deer so im gonna do the sweaty clothes, hair, and piss tricks out ... im putting a good bit of soil in the ground for then cause about 4 inches under is some clay soil .. with is AWFUL with drainage! bugs .. ill probably end up getting some organic pesticides also would like to ask are mosquitoes a problem with plants? cause i was up there to day and was getting butchered by them.. i dont think cops are a problem and its private land so i dont think thieves will be much of a threat either but thanks for the advice

As far as i know Mosquitoes arent a problem, Watch out for slugs man. They love the Wet. And they WILL chomp your plants all to shit. As for deer and stuff. Piss should work just fine, People say like once a week, But i do it every day, Plus i put a mix of Ciggy juice, Lemon detergent, Crushed Red Pepper, And a little laundry detergent. And dumped it all around my plant at a safe distance, If you look in the Grow log it tells you how to deal with most of the pest problems you could possibly have.
