Got fans and a water barrel in, and had to put bird netting on the sides.
The new hatchlings were cutting thru and crapping all over the plants at roost..guano buring holes right thru the leaves.

The cheap $11 plastic has to go, I couldn't roll it on and off during Tstorm season, so I got green house plastic and coduit clamps coming .
That stuff blocks too much light, things are getting stretchy.
The barrel has to go higher a bit and get pipes and hoses, but it's coming along.

Did some bio-prospecting in the field, got some yarrow & spearmint for propagation, and bagged a bunch of thistle for the fence, better than barbed wire!
There's Borage and Mullein growing wild out there too, just got to find it again.
PS...McCormick poppies and wildflower ground cover sprouting under the thistles...2 weeks of watering is paying off!

I've been out of the loop for a bit, just wondering what @getawaymountain is up to? I didn't see any posts in here from him like usual. I saw some of the crosses, especiallyyyyy that Barney's surprise, looked like a killer cross I'd love to run,. Hope he is all good

I'm so behind everyone. Mine are out in 3 raised-bed boxes, but are just little footers'.

My boxes are 4' x 4' x 2' high(with 8', 2x2's on each corner), and I started 3 strains I've never tried. Mandarin Sunset(Ethos), Amnesia(Seeds-Here-Now) and a clone of Tangerine Dream. I've only tried Tangerine Dream but not either Mandarin Sunset nor Amnesia.

I have the same one's growing indoors for flavor comparison along with MOB and Blue OG, which I grew last year outdoors in grow-bags. My last year was the first time I tried outdoor, or at-least, the first time I took it seriously, but was so bummed with the lousy Maine weather and I had lots of bud-rot to chop out of my beloved MOB! The Blue OG wasn't as bad, but still got much less yield than I anticipated.

I'll post pics once it turns into something to look at that's more than nice boxes. I've got 2 yards of loam, 1 yard of organic compost, rice hulls, neem seed meal, earthworm casting and a bale of pro-mix, some myco and blended all into these 3 boxes and topped with some Build-A-Soil, Craft Blend and a dash of diatomaceous earth(1/4 cup) for amendments! Then, add water for the life of the plant(well, re-top some amendments for flower)!

I added 2' of chicken wire to keep the small varmints and deer away. The woods in Maine has quite a few varmints!
