I've heard that she sells out of the "popular" ones within a couple of weeks of posting them, and that they are posted on her website... I think, some time in December? This year I want to be on top of it. As much as starting from seeds frustrate me, from what I've seen in an outdoor they can be a heartier plant, and I need all the hearty I can get.
After moving to Oregon based on the climate it surprised me to find out that we are on the same latitude as Maine. I forget that there are lots of places with short grow seasons and mold problems. Not sure if I'm reading that right, are you going to be selling seeds (re: "our seed bank will be online this fall")?
Hell yeah man, that's exciting.
Ya, this is my last year running clones full season
That's some awesome news. I got seawarp dry and trimming now, so dank. Rock hard and reeks like pungent fruit and skunk.
I feel you there. Most of mine have been doing good, but a couple of them don't really know what to do. But it's nice to go out and see they actually have a sun to pray to these last couple days. Hopefully now we get some serious growth.
Looks like you are off to a good start, nice set up. I'm going to keep an eye on mine today, I have burlap on hand, if they look like they are frying this afternoon I might drape some over the tomato cages. Hopefully they'll just adapt quickly.
Looks like leaf hopper damage.
That happens to be one of four plants I'm giving to my brother, and its sitting in a pretty tight formation with the others but its the only one that got hit. I see no bugs there now, so what you're saying sounds about right. Thanks -
We're looking at 99 in the Wilamette valley on Saturday and Sunday. Off to the races.
How do you like those SIPs? I found out a few hours ago my wife's friend was getting rid of 4 earth box's and a portable 12x7 hot house and she asked if I wanted them. I was all over that. I'm thinking that instead of flowering the seed run I'm about to flip I'll just throw them into that and pull tarp. So that's pretty sweet that I can shut a 1k off inside. But I've seen Alan Adkisson do some pretty awesome stuff with his earthboxs and it makes me really want to put them to use. I used to have a lacto culture so I might wash some rice tonight and get another one going. Yard looks awesome man. Your ladies are loving it. I wouldn't worry about the bug @slowdrawl seems on the money
I'm sold on SIPs in general, but my designs are experiments. First hot day we had they dried out pretty extensively -- it seems the moisture lost through the cloth pot was faster than the wick could replace. The jury is still out on whether cloth pots are a good component of outdoor SIPs. I wrapped them with burlap and covered the soil with straw, and they seem to be holding water better.
I'm wrapping up my last cycle indoor right now until the fall. I'm running 3k in a 6x13 room. I'm seriously considering building 3 huge sip beds. A guy I follow on freemygreenpdx has a pretty rocking No til SIP going. I've got 2 kids and work a lot of hours so anything I can do to make my inputs smaller without sacrificing quality or yield, is something I'm willing to try.
By fall you should have more data from this board. Hyroot, SomeGuy, (those threads cover years, and I didn't find the first mentions of SIPs, so the links are a little random... but poke around, lots of good info there) and Thorhax off the top of my head, are all running DIY SIPs, and are sharing their successes and issues so hopefully a consensus will form in regards to the best and easiest methods by the time you are ready to put one together.
