Growing Weed with Mama

[MjMama]

Hi everyone, my name is Mjmama, an outdoor organic grower in sunny California, a bit north of Sactown. I'm starting to feel at home here at Rollitup, so hopefully you'll all give my grow a warm welcome. I innicially started my journal in the Grow Journals section, which I now realize is 99% indoor growers. So I'm starting fresh here in the outdoor section where I belong. Feel free to comment and shoot the shit, ask questions, etc. Im here to make friends, learn, and share what I know. I'll be posting a few of my favorite tea and soil recipes in my next few comments.

First off, the plants. Im growing

Alien OG
818 Headband
Deadhead OG
Original Sour Diesel
Chem4OG
from Cali Connection

Holy Grail
from DNA

Cherry Sherbet
from GAS

Golden Gun
SpaceBalls
from Hillbilly Genetics

Then Ken's GDP and another cut of Sour Diesel from clone.

I had a Hindu Kush and Banana OG going but chose to swap them out for the Chem4OG and Cherry Sherbet.

Holy Grail


Ken's GDP


Golden Gun


SpaceBalls


Cherry Sherbet and Chem4OG are still babies.

I'll take some fresh pics of all the strains in the AM.

My soil recipe

For a large batch of about 16-20 cubic ft of base soil I add...
20 cups rock dust
5 lbs kelp
5 lbs alfalfa
3 lbs guano
3 lbs rock phosphate
4 lbs bone meal
4 cups neam meal
2 cups feather meal
4 cups green sand
4 cups lime
and a few shovels of yard soil to add native soil life, and a bag of manure to top things off.

Or for smaller batches
1 cubic ft compost
1 cubic ft peat
1 cubic ft perlite
shovel load of manure
shovel of worm castings
8 cups rock dust
1 cup kelp
1 cup alfalfa
1 cup steamed bone meal
1/2 cup high p guano
6 ounces rock phosphate
1/2 cup Neem meal
1/2 cup feather meal
1/2 cup green sand
1 cup lime

Ready-To-Use "Fridge Ferts"
1/4 cup kelp
1/4 cup alfalfa
1/4 molasses
2 cups water

Simply add kelp meal and alfalfa meal to warm water and soak for a few hours to rehydrate and soften. Then add molasses, run it through the blender and it's ready to go. Keep this in your fridge to you have your own ready to use liquid ferts anytime you need them. Use 1-3 tbs per gallon of water. Get creative and add whatever amendments you want, using this same basic concept. Put those expensive nutrient companies out of business. This recipe can be used in veg and the first half of flowering.

*Coconut Cubes*
Coconut water is full of nutrients and beneficial enzymes, but the enzymes degrade really fast when exposed to high temps. Most coconut water on the market has been ruined by heat pasteurizing. For high quality, order raw coconut water or find fresh green coconuts at the market and freeze in ice cube trays to preserve. Freezing will not damage enzymes. I recommend the Harmless Harvest brand but it's hard to find.

Sprouted Seed Tea (SST)
One of my favorite recipes ever. This shows immediately visible results, within hours of application the plants will look happier than ever.

1 . Rinse and soak 1/3 cup barley seeds in water for 8-10 hours.

2. Drain and discard water because the barley husks contain growth inhibitors. The barley shouldn't have started releasing her enzymes yet, so we won't lose any goodies by dumping the soak water.

3. Leave the seeds covered with wet hemp cloth or paper towel to sprout. Keep moist until their roots have grown as long as the seed itself; about a day or two. Warm temps are beneficial to sprouting and also to enzyme production.

4. Grind sprouted seeds with warm or room temp water in a blender until fully pulverized.

5. Add your blended seeds to 5 gallons of water.

This tea can be fed as often as you like, up until midway through flower. Then I recommend backing off and letting the ladies finish naturally.

PH and TEMPS for SST
**For optimal results, seeds should be soaked and sprouted in water that has a ph between 4.5 and 6.2. The temps should remain warm but never boiling. One study determined that a 10 degree increase in temps can result in 100% more enzyme production during sprouting. No matter what though, you will love the results you get from this tea.

Welcome aboard! It looks like you nabbed a front row seat. I hope I can put on a good show this year. We almost lost the rights to grow here in Placer County, but luckily the community stood together and opposed the ban. I was so relieved when only 1 member of the Board of Supervisors voted for the ban. Even the local sheriff seemed to be on our side. Thank goodness, because I would be a wreck without my meds. I suffer from a nausea and vomiting condition. Mmj is the only thing that helps.

Just a sample of what's to come...

I ran most of the strains I have going indoors over the winter/spring to test them out and find keepers.

This was the Alien OG



She dried without much color, but that seems to be how it goes a lot of the time. The leaves get all the color then get trimmed off.

Ha! Um yes. Im super super hot... j/k

I wish I could claim that the Mama in my name stood for "hot mama", but in reality it stands for the type of mom who has had 3 kids. I'm proud of that so it's all good. This is me. The most badass weed growing soccer mom you've ever met.

Nice plants! A friend of mine down here in So. Cal. Has been growing outside for 25 years. What he does outside blows me away every year. Last year he outdid himself starting his grow inside then went outside... His best plant was a Northern Lights that stood 18ft. Keep on growin!

Very impressive, MjMama. Glad to have you aboard. I'm an organic outdoor grower as well. Problem is, I'm stuck up here right next to the Adirondacks and we're still getting frost at night.

I'd love to be out there with you. I'm really handy to have around the house, I don't eat much and I do windows every other weekend ........... Once again, glad to have you here and "Thank You" for sharing with us. Yours truly ..... Frosted in NY.

That's insane! I live right downtown in my city, surrounded by apartments and businesses, so I try to keep a low profile. I train them through tomato cages. Once the plants get about 4-5 ft tall I slap a screen across the top and start training them outward so they don't get too tall. Even then it's hard to keep them down! I would love to be able to go wild for just one season with the type of space some growers have. I'm just a personal backyard grower, trying to make the best of what I have. I started most of my plants indoors like your friend in March/April. But a few started straight outside like the Headband and Spaceballs.
