Good luck! Only factor I see right now is limited lighting (lighting is one of the keys to success ) and that might promote streteching with the plants not under under the t5.
Maybe intill more lights bought/installed what you could do is every 12-24hours swap out the plants not under the lights and swap them under with some direct light .
Awesome. This reminds me of my outdoor growing days back in the 90's on the east coast.
I'm growing some outdoor this year for the first time in many years since a buddy donated some classic mighty mite seeds. Coastal British Columbia where I'm at is not really the greatest place for growing pot outdoors due to the rainy humid fall weather. That is unless you use early flowering, sensitive photoperiod plants or autoflowers.
Looking forward to following this grow!
How do you prepare your grow holes?
Due to crowding issues, I dug new holes last year. I used my tractor bucket so the holes are 5 feet wide. I went about 4 foot long and 18-20 inches down.
They are 8 feet center to center now. I am pushing the legal grow area as it is.
I have 12 holes. I bought 18 yards of the best stuff available to me in bulk. It includes EWC, Bat guano and good stuff like that (you will learn my memory ain’t for shit, one of the reasons I like you all looking over my shoulder). So each hole is 1 1/2 yards of store bought. I then have bulk blood meal, bone meal and kelp to tweak the NPK as we grow. This year I bought 1000 pounds of choice EWC (a cubic yard). I plan on incorporating it into the holes ASAP but the orchard is just now getting dry enough to work in. Last year I finished those tractor holes by the end of March, for comparisons.
My property is pretty nice for growing.. it is at the end of a long, private road that helps with privacy. We cannot see our neighbors. It is mostly a mountain of overgrown oak, cedar, fir and pine forest that has really never been messed with. I enjoy harvesting fully decayed compost and insect frass and incorporating it, but the older I get, the less I get done. I have made bio char for my holes, but not yet for these newer holes. I also like to water the young plants with water from our artesian pond, teeming with poly wag poo, lol.
The plants are in a deer proof orchard with well water available. I also have a 250 gallon water tank for teas and what have you. I still need to get that leveled, an adapter, etc.

Narley treesThe crowding issues I have mentioned. 600 square feet, as allowed by county code.
The new holes started last year are dug in a line. 8 feet apart but open unlimited on the sunny side.
The holes were dug with a tractor bucket, but then I had to finish them with a bar and shovel on the sides.View attachment 867504View attachment 867505
