So I’m going to be restarting my rooms this week and figured I’ll try my hand at a diary for THCfarmer while I am at it and see how it goes.
My family has a small farm here in Maine where we grow much of our food for the freezer but also sell cut flowers and fruit & nut trees as well as a few others. Horticulture and soil science is a big part of my life but so is raising animals, so you may see some of them as well. I normally only grow cannabis inside these days, but for this year I decided that I will grow a few landrace monsters outdoors as well (Probably two Mazar-i-Sharif strains and two Nepalese strains) I have a feeling that they will inevitably become seeded from drifted pollen that my neighbors grow like in the past but oh well.
Strains
I have always loved growing landrace strains and the search for a different high is a big part of that but for medicine I prefer having hybrids available and using the landrace herb for special occasions.
I grow a bit differently than many others but I’m not here to argue about which is best. I think I have learned my lesson on that by now. If it works for me and it is economical then it is best for me.
Clones for this round are:
Critical Kush
GG4
Trainwreck Arcata cut
Landrace selections:
Malawi Gold Landrace
Nepalese Landrace (1 female will go outdoors)
Mazar i Sharif Landrace (1 female will go outdoors)
Soil
I make most of my on soil from scratch
I mix the bottom half of my bags with recycled soil along with leaves and sticks that I raked up from the forest and then top it off with freshly amended soil. For nutrients, I use gypsum, soybean meal and bone char and mix it with Coco, peat and sand.
Lights
I make my own lights but have learned to avoid arguing about them. I use meanwell drivers and Osram SSLs (in 3000k and 660nm)
