I def don't bother with them here for all of these reasons. Very wet summers here even in drought seasons. Can't run reliable auto F1s either, they have to be inbred and stifled vigor wise to have guaranteed autoflowering in ever single offspring.

So, I think I'm gonna put a narrow steel rod through this stalk to aid in reducing bend memory. Water seal it real good. wrap the handle, put some eyes on it, and turn it into a 5.5ft trout rod lmao.

I'll bet the ol' Reefer2000 will be a beast when it's done.

I saw those tomatoes and my weed-infused brain started to wonder what would happen if you grew in a Topsy-Turvy planter

Yeah that's something we did way back when those things first came out in the early 00's.

I didn't use the actual topsyturvy product instead I took a 5 gallon grow bag, transplanted a 1 gal plant into it, filled it with dirt, and then I took bailing wire to wrap it closed in a "ball" shape to then hang upside down. When it was time to water or feed it, I simply took the plant down and dunked the whole root ball in a bucket to soak for a few seconds and hung her back up.

Fun fact: if you hang the plant from the ceiling and put the light on the floor, the leaves will face upside down, too.

We did it to see if we could potentially maximize our grow space but it didn't really save any room and other than that we just didn't find any practical reason to do it again. It was neat and all but just no real value to doing it that I can think of

That's crazy that the leaves invert too.

Yeah they will face the light no matter where it's coming from

They will get rot in September, the genetics are a lot weaker in my experience. The only way is to have them finish by end of August. I tried a wide variety and all of them got Rot, tiny nugs big nugs, direct sun, didn't matter i lost them all. It get too humid for them. I have a ton of pics of them I can look up to show you later. Regs I have harvested covered in snow, but autos I never had any luck with

Please do! Maybe I’ll test one and grow 2 photos I plan to make a nice 4x8’ scrog over them I think to keep them low, can see they will be hidden from the front but that spot gets first Sun of the e day and gets shade around 4pm mid summer so they won’t get scorched but will have filtered light till dark hell when the sun goes behind the fence they may even start flowering a bit early

Hell thse beds are 19” apart and outside to outside it’s already 7.5’ might need to do a 10 or 12’ x 4 scrog

You know it’s gunna get spicy when the tarp comes out

Might grab some old promix and COM potting soil with perlite from the compost pile out back it’s all the veggie pots had 18x 5 gallon pots still have 8 more out front full too

ish they had worm castings but they were out the compost will do for now tons of worms in this garden… tons

Damn, NOAA already calling for Helene to be the most devastating hurricane to ever hit Tallahassee and the Florida panhandle directly.


Best of wishes to any and all in the area. Lookin like cat 3 minimum at landfall for a storm like 1200 miles across. 10ft+ surge. Sounds like hell. The outermost bands are already hitting Florida, NC, and here in southeast TN today and the eye just entered the gulf.

Will do and solid plan, it never hurts to experiment

Well I guess nobody runs pipe straight anymore this things 3’ off the mark it should be oh well at least it’s soil pipe I thought it was perforated, must switch over mid yard, oh well free stone / aggravate for the mix, missing stone for 3’ won’t hurt the pipe it looks to be mid legnth of the piece so it’s strudel my, I’ll dig around and still get the same amount in and mix the galravel into the mix, who needs perlite!

I kind of feel like you need to go get no ma’am tattooed somewhere anywhere But legit it is kind of an obscure reference at the end of the day. I’d be more upset if you didn’t know the opening song and all of its lyrics.

After I learned what you have tattooed on your bum, there’s no way I can compete with that!! But yeah, that Sinatra boy can sho nuff sang a tune, ten-fo?

 

[Mikedin]

I ain’t no quitter. That holes ready 3 wheelbarrows of soil and some stone, saved some stone for the bottom of the other hole 2” or so then the logs then the soil

Left 3” around the outside undisturbed to reduce collapse

i actually recommend avoiding giving more then 6 or 7 direct hours of sunlight exposure in humid rainy places. You will harvest more quality un-rotted flower come harvest that way. Absolutely guaranteed. Seems counter intuitive, but it actually isnt.

We dont all live in Cali, and inf fact, in most places outdoors, too tight a node spacing will mess you up come flower. You want a bit more stretch on your plants in cool, rainy, or humid climates. It's hugely beneficial come end harvest. Learned that trying to grow little indicas in the rainy warm TN valley as a teenager lol.

If you give them more direct then that, Your plants will start flowering later, theyll have tighter denser structure thats far harder to manage when its wet and humid, and theyll flower longer into the cold weather too. Youll lose FAR more to rot and PM as well. A lot more, way more then the weight youll gain with the extra daylight exposure.


In most humid places, having first morning sunlight, and scattered light after 4 or 5, with total shade in the later evening, is the most perfect situation you can put together to flower outside in. That 4-6pm hot humid, low air movement span of time, you dont want your flowers transpiring into themselves in a humid region. Very bad news.

Having my patch have a 4-6pm shade tree, giving no more then 6-7 hours direct in a given day, but always first morning sunlight were all very conscious, intentional moves when i laid out my patch position here. And i will reap rewards for making those decisions as well.

Oh it’s just the beginning my wife now wants… 8x of these beds, oh and she wants them 4’x8’ each

Hell yeah brother I’m up in the northeast. Canna gave me the heads up cus… we ain’t too far apart lol, but I think best way to learn is to learn and fail so I’ll defenitly give one a go, but with the heads up I may do a photo in the other

Got it. Thanks.

Duly noted.

These will have 130gallons of amended organic soil each

Half above half below, and bottoms will be wide open, a 4” underground perforated pipe from my Gutters runs right between them then out to the creek so they’ll have plenty of water when it rains and will be able to drain after

Nice set up, but if you switch to synthetic nutrients you’ll have to climb up on the roof to feed em.

Way too much work. He should get one of these
