Oh yea, luckily I don't have much snow to contend with...just got an inch for xmas lol. Do have some pretty gnarly wind though, but got 6 posts per end wall in the ground, 4 of them concreted in, so I suspect she will do just fine. ...famous last words right?!

Be careful Papa, it was only three or four years ago we had a late spring snow. It was about the time when the wild plums were blooming, like they are doing now. 4 - 6 wet inches, trees down all over the place. That being said, it was a very nice day, today!

I'm a smart pot man myself. I had my whole garden in the ground except for 1 plant in a smart pot a couple seasons back. That 1 smart pot plant produced 20% more than the plants in the ground did. Since then, nothing but smart pots. Started w/100's, now using 200's.

Hmm...that gives me pause....what level investment/work did you have on the ones in the ground? was it native, highly amended or what ?

The ground soil was worked same as the smart pot soil, no difference. The only difference was the watering schedule. In ground was watered once every 3 days, in the smart pots everyday. I only started growing MONSTERS once I went to smart pots, and watered everyday.

sour cherry into a ten gallon pot with some myco and bennie bacteria, and a handful of worms/casting from the worm farm. She is a stanky stank bitch - I can definitely smell some cheese in the mix, and a bunch of stuff that just smells like heaven. I have high hopes for her.

I threw a rooted clone off her into the flower room as well, to kinda test her out.

Heres the from seed moma, up in her new pot.

Been abother productive day on the farm. Got the srs x orange og, grand master kush, seawarp, wet dreams x seawarp seeflings outside all day in the sun, loving life. Uppotted to next side up bags. Added it more worms and myco.

Brought all 6 huge plants ohtside in their ten gallon pots enjoying sunshine as well. Got some privacy lattice up, and planted more living wall plants.

Got more trees to...seems I cant leave my house without stopping at bimart, and their trees are all on clearance for 9 bucks each...up to 9 fruit trees now, and a few liliac plants, and a couple berry plants.

Also transplanted one of my seed plant batches into 1 gallons and outta the seedling tray. 5 blue pits, 4 super Qrazy 4 gorilla glue x blueberry lotus.


Will get pics up shortly.

Ya, I feeling mentality a lot better. Doc and I met up and talked, and got things all squared away, which has helped.

That and man, I can't even express how nice it is to see sunshine again! Being able to work in the yard and get shit done is pretty fucking aqesome. Although I hear we are getting rain tomorrow.

Outta all things, I do love oregon, but I gotta admit, I do miss my cali weather. Growing there is such a nicer climate To.

But, whenever my wife and I buy land, we know now....my current town is in some of the worst spots for fog, rain, pollen, and all sorts of the worst weather in the area, if I was further south, or at least at a slightly higher elevation, would be a lot easier growing. I have the trifecta of things pm loves- daily fog, daily dew, and a river across the street. Which definitely limits my strains.

Sorry to hear about the PM inducing conditions, but you make it work though, your plants are beautiful!

Well brother, I am going to take your advice. Ordering some 200 gallon smart pots.

Have you tested whether on ground, on pallet, on gravel or what is the best? or opinions ?

I grow on the ground, only a piece of hardware cloth between the Smart pots and the ground to keep the gophers/moles out of the pots. The roots will go through the smart pot and grow into the soil below the pots. I also condition the soil below the pots, (about a foot or two) plus the water that leaches through the pots will end up in the soil below the pot....it's all good shit Maynard!
Your asking GREAT questions Papa, and great questions should equal a great season.
