Larry's Fall/Winter seed tests

Some is good, retains water

I guess having too much here its hard to see the benefit. Its heavy and no air to roots because so damn dense. Probably some nice minerals in there though

Clay is good? I always try to get rid of that because it impairs drainage

Rid actually uses cat litter as one of his additions to his medium, calcinated clay I think is the term for it, I can go look if you want

If you search all forums for CAT LITTER by member RM3 you can see where he talks about it, theres only 7 listings I think

Weird maybe, works like a mofo, yes....Yeah definitely unscented, it has to be washed the first time before use. He specifies exactly what type to use.

I do a 50/50 mix

the medium I use is based on Al Tapla's Gritty Mix (google it )

After reading that I am wondering if you feed with fertilizer or supposed to be enough with that to add water only?

I read about it on one of your threads. But since I have to pack it in, I only use 1/8th in my mix. If it ever gets to where I can grow it in the garden, I'll add more.

How do you do your feeding?
I have Jacks in the garage from my outdoor.

It looks like a couple of the Peach grew into the lights. I can't check on them everyday right now. A couple of inquisitive cousins are at the farm to help with Mamma after her stroke. After this weekend they will be gone. Being able to check on the plants whenever I want is a plus. Being back on breakfast and lunch duty is not.

These two are starting to fatten up a little. Some smell too.

You're welcome to read my journal (sig link) I DO NOT follow ANY kind of schedule or any set amount. I feed based on what I see and what they need

My seed testers looked a bit beat up when i got home from the BBQ,root bound & nitrogen deficient.I transplanted them out of the solo cups into one gallon pots,hopefully they will come around and i can see if any are worth growing out next season.

My first round was all natural light, so they started to flower when they were really small. I'm hoping to get my Spring crop a little bigger before we have to put them out. I may have to start earlier next year. If I do alright with them, I'm not growing full season's anymore. The longer they are out, the more that can go wrong. I'll pop beans in June and July.

I have put out clones in the past and ended up with one ounce plants good smoke just not much of it. About 30% of the strains i put out in january flowered out ok and gave me a bit of early smoke.I'm going to hide a few plants in an old chicken coup,my room mate wants to grow out a few seeds TMB gave us full season.I'm going to pop a few fem seeds in may for the greenhouse hoping to keep them a bit more manageable.

Of the strains that didn't do well in the Winter, what kind of problems did they have? This is my 1st go round, so I don't know what I don't know.

An ounce per is what I used when I was pitching this Spring crop to my BIL. {we are vegging at his place} He wanted to do 15-20 females each {about a pound}. There are 20 odd of the Peach, then about 50-60 of the younger ones. So even if half are male, that will still be close to what he was planning on. We are vegging together, but will split the plants down the middle, and plant our own patches.

So far the deer haven't messed with the ones I have out. I have a few cages made, but not near enough for all of them. They may be getting enough corn {from me and the rest of the hunters} to leave my plants alone.
