do a grow journel on that strian to let everybody how you do.it soundslike a assume plant.goldenseeds mega mix has 5 diff. strians.you just cant go wrong this deal-the price is cheap for the amount of seeds you get.and the strians you get is everything from good cash croppers to the sweet and tasty.

they do say variety is the spice of life ,,,, take it easy bud gd luck wit yours

good luck to you sweetsmoker-peace
anybody else have something they want to share

If you have access to ash (burnt wood ash is best), mix as much as you can in with your soil. THe ash is loaded with potassium and will make your shit grow into monsters. Also there is stuff you can buy (I can't remember the name of it) but it is an additive for dirt and it makes a fungus that causes your roots to multiply like crazy. Mix that stuff into your dirt also and your plants will be super hardy. Good luck!

just to let you know all 5 of my spots has some source of water.this so important to taking really good care of your plants.if you dont have a source of water near your grow it a lot of extra work getting water there.it pays to for spots near rivers,srteams,ponds and ponds.4 out 5 spots i have is along a river.ill be useing my kayak alot this year the other spot near old bearer pond

very good idea.im going to write that down in my little growing book to add wood ashes in my soil as well.thanks for the idea.what is the best ashes?your getting a rep.thanks agian

its alwAys good idea to get that little extra time indoors.important if you live in a short growing season area.thank for the pos reply

ive grown outside for years and the wood ash thing is a great idea.heres a little info instead of making holesto put plants in make a plot like a veggie garden till all soil in plot any where from 6 to 12 inches deep i use the garden claw and it works so much better than making holes.ive grown early girl and it was awsome for short seasonsi plant from mid may till mid july and had nice mature budz on even late ones all harvested by mid september.

i heard of the early girl and sounds good.in my future grows i might have to give that strian a shot.i have also grown in pots/contianers.i think you get better results from the ground only because you dont have to water so much when your plants are in the ground.thanks for the post reply

this is some asume stuff-roots organic big worm.
this is what it is
blend of organic compost,rock dust and kelp for exceptional quality casting.in addition to contianing nitrogen our castings contain small amount phosp. and potas. with naturally ocuring micronutrients,minerals and beneficial bacterial.also contians auxins and cytokes which are growth hormones.
sounds like ill be adding some of this to my soil.grow babies grow!

so i could quite happily go gather up some horse shit down the road nd mix this up with my soil lol?

your better off mixing the worm castings in some soil.im adding 3 cups of this to every 5 gal my mix (roots organic soil with there 707)the extra worm castings will hold water good too

I read somewhere that if you have seeds that you are unsure of and want to make sure they will finish in time you put them out late like mid july to late july...if you can...then the rapid change of light from 24 hrs(indoors) to whatever the light is in July in Canada will force the plant to shorten its flowering cycle. Oh shit winters coming MAKE BUD!!! sounds crazy... I tried it last year and had my crop harvested by late sept.....just in time in my area then brrrrrr.. Might not be a concern in your area but I was rather impressed.

im planing on doin spring grow and fall grow outside this year for spring jump starting inside veging one - two months starting em 12/12 for 4 weeks then digging holes n transplanting (this plan may change) as for fall planting fem seeds in back yard two diff houses in may 20-60 total plants both times
