A Northwoods Guerilla

This summers crop will be a one larger then the previous seasons, though I even have seed that I will not plant. Not with love and care, as the others.

As every year I will have to lay low. I keep my sites a secret, though some people I know and people I don't know, believe I grow weed. Tell no one, thats the golden rule, I blew that 9 years ago. I gave some sweet leaf away, and my site was robbed. Or the times I offered fresh bud to smoke, when I was stoned with dry bud in my other pocket, many times I have exposed myself.
The past two years I have grown small 20 plant grows. I use regular seed so I was lucky if I got 10 females. I have better strains then in the years past.
I will list the varieties and number of seedlings, I have more seeds then ablity. I work a 40 hr job it pays the bills and non attention getting.

These I will start in 1qt growbags and transplant into 1.5 gallon pots, before a final 1 x 1 x 1 hole mixed with soil and amendments.
5 Train Wreck- Greenhouse- feminized
10 Herijuana- Sannies- regular
20 BC Sweet Tooth- BCBud Depot- regular
30 Danky Doodle X BC Sweet Tooth F1
30 Danky Doodle X BC Skunk (bagseed)F1

These I will grow with less care. I will start in 1qt growbags until 10", then use a post hole digger and put them into forest soil.
100 Danky Doodle X BC Skunk

The remaining seeds I have no time except to use a walking stick to poke a hole in the ground and drop a seed or two. I will step on the seed and hole lightly as not to crush, but rather cover the seed with dirt. Kinda like Johnny Hempseed or Appleweed.
300 Mitey Mite X Early Misty
100 Danky Doodle X BC Skunk

I don't want to waste the seed, the herb is good, but I have to set my priorities.

Cheers dude, 'take it the miteys and doodle crosses are bagseed of some sort? Did you seed grow? Surely you didn't buy all them?

They are a product of last years growing, hybrids I breed myself.

The Danky Doodle from KC Brains is a monster their quote is 13ft and 1.5 kilo yield. I had very bad luck with that one 5 out of 6 were males, and the one female I had in a different location. The males were huge and purple, showed flowers very early, so I brought a coulple females to them. The BC Sweet Tooth, finishes in mid Sept, with sticky sweet buds beautiful plant. I also have F1 BC Sweet Tooth both parents male and female BC Sweet Tooth, were bought from BC Bud Depot. The BC Skunk was bagseed from a kushy Beaster, the flowers were fat and it was sticky. The Mitey Mite I got from Kind Seeds, and the Early Misty I got from Nirvana, both fast developing buds finishing in late August.

I have been working on a hobby since November, when I bought 5000 red wigglers. It was November in the northwoods, the ground was begining to freeze. Chances of obtaining this quanity of worms was slim, so I bought them online. Had I a summer to collect worms it could have been free. These are also known as manure worms, they can be caught by putting manure into a pile and wait. Most ground has either the worms, cocoons, or both. They multiply fast with proper numbers in an area, they can double their numbers in two months.

I ran into an over feeding problem, called sour crop, protein poisoning. As worms died from this sour crop their decaying bodies added fuel to the protein poisoning problem. Worms are 28% protein, and its the snowball effect. The solution was stop feeding and add bulking material to the worm bed, chopped straw. Problem solved, I think I am up again in numbers around 10lbs.

A worm can eat 1/2 its weight in food every day, producing nutrient enriched worm castings. Black gold, thats what I wanted in the first place, these organic plant builders.

I am trying to produce, a growing media that is a living soil, not a sterile one. One with worms and microbial activity that will continue to break down the organic matter into plant availble nutrients.

I the natural soil, is an inch or two of black sand with some organic humus, and a golden sand several feet down until your reach a layer of glacier rock depost. It has little or no water holding capacities, and is lacking most nutrients due to this. Buying a bag of potting soil is ok, but I want a larger volume, better quality, and lower over head cost.

The sites I will dig out a hole, I will fill with 50% vermicompost and aged horse manure. I will mulch with aged horse manure and continue to due so through out the growing season. I will dig new holes for next year, for security of my sites, but I will cover crop this years site with more aged manure, then clover, alfalfa, peas, and rye. This will promte a healthy site for the year after next. I will rotate locations, while adding vermicompost and aged manure to the this years and last years sites.

Today I collect more fresh horse manure to use for my worm food. It takes the manure about a month to be turned into workable verimcompost. It takes about an other month or two until it becomes worm castings.

I will use the vermicompost(aged manure, worm casting, worm cocoons, and some worms) as it will become better with time like a wine. Well I don't think I will drink worm pooh, though my plants will love it. I have read where the aerobic bacteria helps the plants immune system, stronger and healthier. That is why I think worms are the way for me. The added organic material will help in water retention and CO2 emissions from its decomposition.

I received my 10 Herijuana seeds today. I will cross the earliest male with all the females. I want to produce seeds, about 100 per lady. I will allow the male to dust the girls for 3-4 days. With the earliest male, the calyx will be few at that stage of development, therefore few seeds.
This works best for me, sometimes mother selection is done by the taste test. Marrying that flavor with another pheno. Like some fastest male and female combo. In a couple of years I will have a Herijuana thats suited to my grow area.
I will produce seeds for Sweet Tooth also this year. I do this much differently, I will dig up the male with a quick trans into a 5 gallon. A little shock will not hurt, its a male and I only want the pollen. I will collect and paint a few buds from each plant to do the pheno taste x largest bud. If they are the same I know my ilb will work fine.
