Hey folks!!! Here is where i post my adventures of growing organic vegetables to sell to finance my upcoming weed grow. Im in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and have been around farming all my life with the last 15-20 years being strictly an organic grower so that how i will raise my weed in the same manner. Im getting plenty of grow advice from reading the past posts of this forum.
So back to my income crop of veggies. Its been a very cool soggy spring so everything is starting inside. I also raise red wiggler worms for their castings and just soil in general. When i start new colonies i go to the mountain and fill buckets with forest floor litter and soil then introduce colonies of worms to it to process great soil plus fertilizer. I use this dirt and castings for my veggies. Veggies grow and i sell or barter them for what i will grow later. I even sell some worms for bait or people to start their own colonies.
Now next thing i do is dig medicinal plants from the mountains here. I dry and sell them to a dealer. I dig black and blue cohosh, goldenseal, bloodroot, mayapple and the big one ginseng when it comes in season. Let me add that i dont collect the herbs until they have seeded for future years.
So anyway thats just the way i finance my other hobbies. Ill post veggies as they do their thing and maybe some medicinal plant pictures.
Ever have a question just ask. May all your endeavors go like a rocket. Terry

Just curious as to what light cycle you use for veggie seedlings? 12/12 etc?

I usely do 24 hours lights on from sprout till 2-4 weeks old but 18/6 is fine as well.
12/12 is reserved for when we want to trigger flower.
