im All In for this one,now thats real "farming".

Doing great, my friend! Ughh I'm kind of jealous and antsy, just sitting here on the sidelines this year. Unfortunately as some of you may know, I had to take this year off from doing hemp to tend to my health, if I want to live to do it next year

I'm taking the opportunity to stock up on equipment for a more successful grow next year, though. For instance I have about 40 shade cloths to put up over the field for hail protection next year. We get killer hailstorms here. Crop destroyers. So hopefully these will help mitigate the losses from that.

Other than that just trying to get my ranch and my health in order. I can testify, as a fellow "One Man Army" hemp farmer like Diesel, this shit is a TON of work EVERY SINGLE DAY. And I go one step further, I have to hand water each and every plant because my field is in the back 40 acres of my ranch, far from electricity and pressurized water. We have to store water in big 400 gallon tanks and until I get a generator and pump system working back there, we have to literally carry buckets of water and a pitcher around the field pretty much every day.

A watering system is definitely on the list of things to get, this year, though, so I'm working on it.

Anyway all I'm growing this year is my legal limit for personal weed plants in Colorado. Luckily we have 2 separate properties so I can have up to 24 plants, so I'm not totally out of growing at the moment. Gotta keep my proprietary strains going.

Outdoor!
Way better.
But I do not like gmo in general.
Stinks like pukie shit to me!
Ugh!!:)

660 plants in 5 hours!!!
Christ I’m sore
Staggered harvesting!
Should be super clean in septoberish

 

[1diesel1]

Recap,
We started from seed, struggled with germination rate, approximately 67% success rate (supplier says he’s 80% in general, I beg to differ).
Spring sprung at 90+F,
Mites took off like wildfire,
Successfuly fought and only lost several dozen seedlings from mite intoxication!
Now we take Mother Nature on head first!!

 

[Mikedin]

Must be so much happier with them in the ground though, work and issues aside, it’s mother natures time to shine!

You know, spider mites that make it into your pants are called crabs......

If I smoked a joint while mowing I'd end up right in the pond. I'm interested in seeing how the Maui Wowie turns out. I guess we'll see in late Novemberish.... ;)

One of those guys emailed me......
