Thanks Jerry @TxGrowman and you Al @Myfriendis410
They donāt get outside until the middle of May to harden off in and out of the wood shelter until the end of May when theyāll go into he ground.
Iām stoked. They will outgrow their greenhouse well before then so Iāll have to remove the greenhouse āskinā and spread them and the lights out some more. I purposely didnāt feed them until they were outside last year and they were stunted if you can believe that.
I want to be putting 4ā trees in the ground this time not knee high bushes.
Iām feeding them lightly this time but definitely feeding them. In fact itās next on my to do after some more weed and some lunch.

If I had a bit more room Iād do this.
Thanks Will . I was talking to a friend that grows near your area. He requested that I tell you one thing that he did to keep the soil warmer around the plant. After he planted his 3 1/2 foot tree of blueberry, he watered it pretty well and then covered the dirt with a 36 inch circumference circle with heavy grade plastic. He said the soil stayed warm even though he caught a freak snowstorm in late May. I do not know if that really helps or not but, if it does, I wanted to give it to you for consideration.
If you have used it or had a bad experience, Iād appreciate it if you could drop me a line and let me know. I want to get into outdoor grown cannabis. My experiences have all been inside and I am researching to move outdoors. My knowledge on outdoor is VERY deficient.
Thanks and have a great day.

Yeah heās definitely onto something there Iāll be using black weed block fabric on the entire area again this time which really keeps the ground warm and keep the weeds down .

I wasnāt. It was the inexpensive flimsy type and got messed up trying to mow along the edges. I will be going with something more durable like this

So I had to remove the rectangular drip trays and replace with individual ones for the plants that were touching each other. Looks like I lost some drip trays (they crack and break easily) since last spring so thereās a few on todayās Agway list.
But hey! Look at these after getting some lovinā this morning!
These are the first 6 sprouted on January, 23, 2018
Here are the others I had to wait for seeds to start on February 13, 2018 and the one baby Purple Haze to replace the one that didnāt make it.
HIGHBUSH 2018 GREATEST HITS

Looking good Will! I missed out on your journal last year and made a point of setting this to āwatchingā.
But I confess that I just like your posts haha.

Thanks @Myfriendis410 & @Johnzy81. I really enjoy every aspect of it, but Iām a little envious of some of our peers pushing the envelope with much larger grows than mine.
I have the space, but lack the nerve to exceed the stateās limit.
Iām afraid to top or FIM them until later for fear of them bushing out & outgrowing the confines of the greenhouseās skin before the cellar is warm enough for them to be spread out on the cellar floor instead of contained in the greenhouse. I donāt want to have to run a space heater down there.
Canāt tell if I spilled fish emulsion on myself of itās just time for a fresh set of clothesā¦lol

Hoe-Lee-Sha-Moe-Lee @Willd conditions in that room are good to grow by the looks of all that Green. DEH18 is impressive already!!

Thatās the challenge this time of year lol. I personally dislike putting additional heat into my space. I want the lights to do that! I just donāt have a large enough yard for outside growing. Thatās why the hybrid grow method I use.

I think you have plenty of excellent plants and perfect strains to move forward with and to think that if you do film you could explode your tent is exciting Iām along for the ride all the way Sir.

@Willd is my hero: anyone who uses 5 gallon buckets for Mason Jars is a god hahaha! What did you have in 2016? 9 pounds?

Just over 8.5 in 2015. I skipped 2016.
I wasnāt as generous with it as Iāve been with this one knowing I can do this legally now every year. And it lasted right through until the first of my 2017 harvest was dry enough to start smoking. it was only 2 strains then as well. Bubba Kush and Sour Diesel.
I used 2 gallon buckets this time because it was so many different strains to keep separated. ha ha ha

Couldnāt have done it without you and Bob and John and so on lol. Nobody outside of this forum āgets itā.
Iāve always wanted to grow weed and sometimes itās surreal to me to pull out a gnarly bud and grind it up. Because my 17 year old subconscious is going āHoly cow!ā This should be framed! Haha.
We had friends over for dinner, visiting from 'Vegas the other night and I gave them a 1/2 ounce bud of GSC-X. He was gobsmacked by the size and flipped when I gave it to them. But to us itās the new normal.
