MONSTERS? how?

I met this californian guy in Florida that was taking a break from his "growing"

when I asked him what he was growing, he explained (after I showed him what -I- was 'growing') that he grew over 600 pounds of weed in California per year, often in the outdoors, usually in the mountains all alone except for his fellow gardeners but other than that no civilization.

One of his methods was what you mentioned here with the fish, it made me remember the guy, however he said he just puts a half dozen fish heads in the ground alongside the soil, works like a charm he comments. I suppose using fish heads as a time release sort of fertilizer is much more cost-effective when dealing with the 300-600 some plants he must grow at a time to meet the 600-pounds of pot a year.

This guy was offering to sell me purple erkle, telling me how stinky it was: "I could smell this strain through three bags and an airtight glass jar" while at the time I was like "Yeah right"

I would have to say he is, unfortunately, a lost contact. He was the type of grower that sold in pounds and sent it over-states via stealth P.O boxes and UPS. That would of come in handy now adays, now that I know something about weed. Buy a few pounds, have it shipped to you, pick it up at a P.O box, and experience the best highs, the greatest tastes, the stinkyiest, sweetiest smells of California's Blaze!

ok. as a settlement and a test/experiment, i'll do one with fish, one without. then a year from now, i'll tell you how they harvested :peace:

Don't forget your security measures when growing monsters. The bigger they are the easier they are to spot. You'll need good companion plants and a secure location if you want to harvest those big girls.
Suggestion on the fish experiment; one plant per test is not very good at telling you anything. Try a dozen at each method then you'll have a better idea if it really made a difference or if it was just genetics.
I've grown some Very Tall plants by planting them right behind farm pond dams. You got fish right there too. Just pay attention to where the flood zone will be in case of a wet year, you don't want them standing in water. The soil needs to be worked early and again before planting.
If you have access to a hog farm that manure is some great stuff.
I'll watch your thread to see how it goes. Good luck!

make it 2 plants with fish 3 without so u can be positive the plant made those 2 bigge the likely hood of the 2 being better than the 3 is unlikely

try the fish thing, put some fish down a couple of feet in the hole, native american style

the fish thing is about prepping the ground for next year. plant grows taking nutrients from soil. fish decomposes, beneficial bacteria convert it to useful matter, soil is ready for the next season.
