Looks like it’s going to be another beautiful growing season. :+1: :sun_with_face:
I know I’m excited to get things going. Mine gardens have been loaded with Oak wood ash, coffee growns, fish guts, chicken :poop: banana peels, and lots of fruit an veggie scraps.
Now we wait for warmer and longer sunnier days. :+1:

PS Them some beautiful buds you have. :heart_on_fire:

Thank ya Dforce my brother. They are some potent smoke, its taken me a good 2 months to build a resistance to it. Which is kinda rare for me so I am very grateful to Scott for hooking me up with them. I cant wait for this growing season :raising_hands::raising_hands::raising_hands: I’m gonna run some crimson clover as a living mulch in them this year as well, after I add the rice hulls to the top foot or so Im hoping to not have to touch them again for awhile, I have been transplanting forest moss around the borders of the beds and its been making humus all winter its about 2 inches thick and a foot wide. I hope it helps keep the microlife diverse and my hope is to create a permant living ecosystem in them that gets better every year. :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:. I had alot of blossom end rot last year so I figured they needed some calcium, gonna do about 5lbs per bed I am also adding some bloodmeal to them, not alot but about half a lb per bed or so, in the beds I didnt grow beans in last year. Let’s hope I don’t screw them up. :rofl::rofl::rofl::victory_hand:

Alrighty yall I figured out why that little clone was growing like it had a chilli pepper shoved in its arse, check this crazyness out…





I’ve been lazy and haven’t emptied that hydro rdwc tote I use to run hydro in, in like 4 years or so, no air, nothing, but these roots grew out the bottom of their little yellow easter egg basket and right on into this old nasty looking water. :rofl::rofl: These plants never cease to amaze me yall. :+1::100: I transplanted over into the 40 gallon bag big huge hunk of white roots and all. I dont expect her to pull thru but were gonna try :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:
I think they call that the Kapersky method or something like that, thats not it but its close, Im a stoner after all. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Thank you MeEasy my friend. I got the news today that my rice hulls were on back order and will be delayed getting to me. :face_with_symbols_on_mouth::face_with_symbols_on_mouth: it sucks as I really needed to get these mixed in before I sow our crimson clover cover crop.

I went ahead and raked back my mulch in one of the beds thats only had wildflowers growing in it for the past two seasons. I went ahead and sowed a row of lettuce, two rows of carrots, a row of onions, and I put a row of bokchoy in the middle. The cover crop Im running this year (Crimson clover) was also sow. Wish me luck. :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::victory_hand:



I am still waiting for supplies before I can get the other 6 beds going, :cry::cry: hopefully they will get here end next week or week after so hopefully still be okay. :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::folded_hands::folded_hands::victory_hand:

You can use this to replace the rice hulls. My buddy was using some the other day in his greenhouse garden. It’s not the brand he was using I just searched for it on Amazon and this was 1st

Thanks MeEasy, I still got about 6 bricks of Coconut husks left, they are what I mix into the bottom 12", with lavarocks, coir, and peat. To make sure we got air for the deeper roots. For the top 6" or 8" I wanted to try rice hulls this year and see if the silica it breaks down into helps any. But thanks for mentioning it brother. :folded_hands::folded_hands::victory_hand:

Well heres our next run getting started, about 2 weeks old. These are some Blackberry OG’s from our brother @Growdoc. I’ve ran a couple of these before but I used them as fillers in the flower room and didn’t have the chance to veg them out as long as I needed too so… lets try this one more time and try to not screw it up this time :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::rofl::rofl:I :victory_hand::folded_hands:

Thank ya Reed buddy. I burnt the crap out of em with some Dr. Zymes that was about 2 weeks old, I guess it concentrated and the ph dropped to like a 3.0 and I soaked em down. :man_facepalming::man_facepalming::man_facepalming:. I got 7 recovering at the moment and am about to drop some autos and try again. :man_shrugging::man_shrugging: Sometimes it just be like that I guess. :rofl::rofl::victory_hand:
