New to the New England Woods

growman3666 said:

Hello, this will be my first go at an outdoor in New England. Yes it is a very late start but I just moved up here in late June from the deep south. Anyone that may have some advice on growing outdoors here I ask please do leave it here. Also if you feel like sharing your progress on your outdoor up here I welcome that completely.

So I started a bunch of Strawberry Cough seeds July 7 along with Blueberry, Afghani, Straw berry Cough x Jack Herer, and Strawberry Cough x Durban Poison. They all have just entered veg except for some Fools Gold seedlings that just hit the dirt. I am using the botanicare lineup for liquid nutrients because I like how close they are to organic. For my soil I use pro mix amended with bat guano, earthworm castings, mycorrhizae, and dolomite lime. Here are some pictures of where I am at. Please feel free to stop by and help out I welcome people to chat in this journal

4 words: Watch. Out. For. Bears.

So th e Cough finishes by mid- late October according to a few buddies who have also grown this strain out. There is no need for me to conserve seeds I am very good friends with a few breeders so I get hundreds and hundreds for free. I have at least 30 different strains. So it was worth a shot. The Colombian Gold probably won't finish in time but I think it's worth a shot to see.

If you take clones--especially if you choose to monster crop--you won't have to pop all your seeds at once.

Here we are today. July 16

Best get them out soon or it'll be a flower from seed grow lol. And yup it'll be cool to see how this all turns out.

Oh and that's a cute rake .
