great white is top gear though a bit spensive, ive found another supplier who makes it with essentially the same ingredients for 1/3 cost, went through approx $3k of it in last years season, if i dont use it the wicked fungal disease comes quickly back & wipes out everything
Dang that's alot of myco!!!!!!! I'm growin in all organic soil for the first time so I think I should add it as a preventive

damn right it is...i was growing in holes in the ground & it just sucked up so much water mixed with myco...so this coming season just pots/plastic/cloth will be used to save so much liquid being used, nearby trees just sent roots into grow holes & drank up most of the fluids lol

How about using raise beds u can still grow monsters and not have to use a ton of water and mycos
yes thats a good option, though the entrenched fungal disease in this area is like an invisible carpet over the entire ground area, no matter what i do or how much myco is used that disease still takes a heavy toll apart from those grown in pots...thats why after many years battle with this fungal foe im going 100% pots this next grow season...as well as to save overall myco usage, this fungus is similar to a disease(Panama Disease) which the government here cannot overcome & only quarantine affected areas for up to 30yrs!

My dad use to grow tomatoes in raised beds and before he put his dirt in he would line the entire box with black plastic to keep weeds from sprouting up but in ur case it would keep the roots from coming in contact with the contaminated soil. Just food for thought whatever works for u and gives u piece of mind bro go with it.

3 different types(GDP(tall pheno) x C99, GDP(short pheno) x C99 & Raspberry Kush x C99) being test grown here to see how they go with winter conditions...though thick ice had formed a few times on unheated greenhouse cover only a few leaves have been damaged with no actual fatalities from the cold, still only 10 3/4hrs daylight so supplementing light to 12/12, overall stoked plants are going ok and look forward to more winter grows in the future!

That is very cool you can grow through the winter! I am impressed with how lush and bushy they are growing too. Are they progressing at the same place as the summer run?

hi man, yes its the same locale where i grow the others during warmer mths...theres no doubt the growth rate is slower during the cooler mths, im sure a heated greenhouse would amend that slow growth(maybe set that up at a later date)just hoping the buds fill out properly, if they do it will be a great addition to the grow cycle, usually most outdoor situations here go from approx august-april, now its looking like a middle winter crop can be realized & it utilizes that 5mths from april-august when no production is happening, as it is am pretty happy the way they are looking.
whats happening in your part of the world lately?

Jesus fuck you have a wide selection of seeds.puts my collection to Shame. Glad to see your winter crop is going great. Planted , trippy gorilla ,blue dream ,gorilla bomb, tnr, money maker ,kc45,critical super silver haze, black dog, ghost train haze 1 outdoors. Days are now pushing between 24 and 30 degrees now. Still a bit cool over night but seedlings can handle it. Should get a good spring harvest October November. will plant more seeds on the 20th September for a march ,April harvest.

Mate all the greenhouses are down . harvested all the seeds . some nights it stays at 11 degrees other nights it goes down to 5. Made a lot of nice crosses over winter. Most people are planting seeds outdoors now going for spring harvests. Some of the crosses I made we're gth1 x gorilla bomb, gth1 x black d.o.g, trippy gorilla x blue dream, trippy gorilla x critical super silver haze, critical super silver haze x mother of berries , gorilla bomb x money maker, gorilla bomb x tnr. All seeds are female. Have plenty of reg seeds to use if I need a male. Plus have about 100 pure auto seeds to play with. So far things are going well. Lost 2 greenhouses to loggers. They stole THC bomb,royal purple kush, cherry og, and cherry bomb. Glad your greenhouse experiment is working for you. Its nice to be able to grow during winter.

good its warmer there now to not need those greenhouses, but damn those thieving loggers!, ive had issues with those guys B4 too, a person can go deep into the forest thinking you're in a real out of the way place then a mth later the loggers have put a dozer over your crop! & for sure real happy being able to grow in mid winter, it was always a sad time not having anything growing so now there wont be 1 minute when there wont be a green soul alive here hehehe
