Hi First time grower here. I plan on growing very soon, and have been thinking about it quite a bit. I'd like a few opinions of some more experienced people, to see if everything sounds ok. My plan is:
Start seeds in peat cups. I have ~15 bagseeds, 5 orange kush, and plan to order some fem purple #1.
At 1 week after breaking ground, I plant peat cups in soil. My grow area is way back in the woods, across a creek, down a ravine, and about a quarter mile from the nearest house. the soil is very fertile, or at least it looks that way. I had a Ph tester, and the Ph tested at 6.3.
While the plants are young, I plan on placing them under 100 qt sterilite clear containers, turned upside down, over the plant. This keeps animal from eating them, as well as acting as a mini greenhouse. Surrounding the plants under the containers, I will lay foil, the super reflective kind, to reflect light onto the plants.
When the plants reach a height that the top leaves are touching the container, I will remove the container, and sex the plant. I will kill all of the males. ( With machete
) and let the females grow wild. Im debating buying coyote scent spray, and spraying the area every few weeks to keep animals away, but I think that the plants will be large enough that animals wont bother with them.
When harvest time comes round, I will harvest the sativas first, when the first trichs turn brown, but not before all trichs are cloudy, and the indicas when about 3/4 of the trichs are browned.
I will dry and cure using the jar method.
So the obvious questions remain.
Is that coyote scent a must have?
are there any flaws in my system?
Are there any ways to make my system better?
What should my total yield be (Dry)?
Any advice/criticism/contribution at all encouraged.
