My last soapbox moment...
I recently trasnplanted a few flowers/small shrubs into my garden outside. The soil was horrible so i turned a bit of good potting soil, similar to what you're doing, and a bit of worm casting, similar to what you're doing... then it gets a little different, mulch for water retention (in the soil, as well as good top layer) AND those expanded clay pebbles used in my hydro systems, Hydrotron, i think that addition was the best idea i ever had. The hydroton does an AWESOME job adding aeration for your root system. I did it in the pots i have my squah in and they exploded. Branching/vining within a week and awesome leaf development.

Those are my two cents on soil. Take it or leave it, haha!

Just did an awesome post on my AG thread.

Good night and Good Luck!

Day 17 / May 26 / 2009 - Sprouts

Hey dope'


When they go outside permanently, are they staying in pots, or going in the ground?

 

[Shackleford.R]

what up d-dub?!! sorry I haven't been around in awhile, caught up in shit around the house, doing this and that with the lady friend... you know shit you don't care to hear about, haha!

any rate, the plants look AWESOME! you say they're getting 2-3 hours of sunlight per day? you set them out for a bit, then bring them in? i think the next step would be to leave them out in a shadier spot for a day or so, so they really take on all the elements (sans full sun). then again, sounds like you have a bit of schedule in mind. looks like they love you already, way to be a good father! haha. if i had to offer one last piece of advice, whatever nutes you used on your old grow (i may have a missed a post, so i apologize if you've gone over this). mix up a batch of whatever nutes you used on your PC indoor, and hit them with that as sort of a nutrient/fert jump start, give them a little something to prepare for transplant. thats just my style though, i think every little bit counts when sometimes it probably doesnt. if you go for it though, remember 1/4 strength, they're still young.

jeez shack thats the most imput youve put in, ever! and i already beat you to it, i put them outside today in the shade and over night, and ill be hitting them with an organic fert in the morning and then put them out in the afternoon which should work well i hope, wish my luck fools!

 

[Shackleford.R]

NO D-DUB!! YOU MUST DO EVERYTHING I SAY TO A "T"!! haha im just playing man, this grow is going very well. I look forward to seeing these babies standing tall in the wilderness. Drop by my AG thread sometime, finally got some kernels picked out and ordered. PLUS! I think you will enjoy the DIY'ness I got into with the AG itself.

thanks for te comment shack ill be heading to your grow now...

PLUS FOR EVERYONE COMING IN HERE TODAY THE GIRLS ARE GOING OUTSIDE!!!!! TODAY!!!!!

 

[ElephantRider]

Good luck, man! Tread lightly and avoid those mounties!

So.. since I'm going to be doing a little outdoor action soon, as well, what are you gonna carry your shit in? Backpack? I have a thermos that would fit a cup (which I'll be planting OD with, too. I'll do cup in a cup.. inside cup has no bottom. I'll fill w/ regular MG soil.. (i know.. ick, but time release!!) and just do a quick trowel into the ground, insert inner cup and walk. The heavy rains in my region (we are right up there with Seattle in rainfall) will rinse the MG nutes into the soil underneath, is my thinking, and the cup will protect from invading weeds.

Also.. my spots are a bit shaded.. especially lower. I think the plants should get about 6 hours direct once bigger. Yours? Are you concerned about that? It seems like the lush forest I'm planting in has no issues with growth, so I guess I'll just have to hope.

Again.. good luck!
