[O4aUsErNaMe]

[CanadianGrowMan]

yes but i only grow for myself,and i dont need that much smoke for the year.
my mates always get a lot of stuff,
against the law to supply but can i help it if they take it when i am not looking..

Last years yield??

Any topping involved??

no topping by me(but i have lots of little lorekeats around my place and they have a habit of attacking the plants they love the fresh new growth)so i think they may have had a bit of a nibble,,

it is winter here but i have her and a few of here friends under lights for a month or so till i can get them out side

I too will follow closely as your avatar holds me spell bound when I look at it.
Feb. is very nice down under.
I went to Sydney on R&R in 1969 it was wonderful.

The picture in your avatar from last year, how much did you yield dry weight? Got anything of larger resolution?

Cant wait to see read this same thread in a few months!THats gonna be some plant!Whens it going into the ground?

 

[Corbat420]

for sure im guna be following this one...i've had a plan like this on my mind for 3 years.
i think the only thing your missing is a pickaxe....one of my best friends seing as we only have 6 inches of soil, and feet of clay under that.....its lots more work but TOTALY worth it. i have seen the effect of fishing holes....we used salmon we pick up off the side of the river (sockeye spawn in our lake), and you can prighty much watch the plant grow when it hits the fish

 

[O4aUsErNaMe]

i have just got my internet connection back(changed from dialup to two way sat)
so i have some updating to do i will get it done next week.
as i have a pretty busy weekend ahead of me..

thanks shroomy

the only trouble is that i have 4 foot of clay then twelve foot of limestone under me.
no chance of me digging into that..

 

[Corbat420]

yea, under the soil is just a solid layer of dry red clay for around 30' (where i live)......its impossible for us to grow unless you pickaxe it/have a uberchewer (one of those gas powered mulchers).....if worst comes to worst, just wet the clay and then pick it....it comes out in layered chunks, and its not as bad as you expect.

it is worth the time/effort because the more freedom the roots have, the bigger the plant will be......lose soil + Huge pot +long growing season=massive plant...+nutes=monster.

*i was at the miners memorial day celebration on vancouver island a month ago......if they can pick agite you can pick clay.

 

[O4aUsErNaMe]

well here is my old mother sativa X in the ground,still a bit cold but spring is not far around the corner.
should see some good growth as it warms up....

 

[O4aUsErNaMe]

we have had a few late frosts but she seems to be holding up fine.
cant wait for the spring to get here and warm us up a bit.this winter has been unusually cold and dry.
oh well it can only get better from here on in...

 

[O4aUsErNaMe]

here is an update picture it is starting to show some slow growth,but we still have a long way to go.
also some photo's of another plant i will be growing in the garden bed next to the other plant.
this one is in a big pot and is planted straight into cow shit (there is a little sand in there somwhere) straight from the cattle yards.

we will see how it goes

How about raised boxes? Works for me.

 

[OnSolomonsGrave]

He has his growing in a water trough, basically a raised bed.
