MC`s Forest Adventure

[urbanfog]

if tenacity brings karma, you will have a great grow! Love the daily updates:)

 

[markscastle]

Well then wait until the pics come out and let me know how my Karma is working.

The plants aren`t sagging so decided to run the generator awhile. Battery is charging and the air pump is on the tea for awhile as I added yogurt ,yeast, and a bio -mix I use. If the plants aren`t to dry in a few hours I`ll mix the tea in with the water in the 325 gal tank and let it circulate a while before I water. May post some pics of that process tonight. Plant pics tomorrow after I water!

 

[markscastle]

OK decided

not to wait on the pics! This is my tea ,transfer pump and tank.

 

[markscastle]

Now on to the show!

[markscastle]

Thanks for the early likes! I my self don`t get to excited until the plants are full of big sticky buds. Then I get excited!

 

[urbanfog]

I get excited watching folks who have more experience than I. Cant wait for a nice plot of land to play in

 

[markscastle]

I got ten acres and won`t use more than two of it. I`d rent you the upper 5, year round, for enough to open it up and make it useful. Might even let you take out some of the 3000 cords of oak fire wood for half of the proceeds. Has water and sun if you do some clearing, put in a pad and work on the road. My grow area is only 40ft. x 40ft. plenty of room up there for that and an RV. You`d need good soil brought in.

I`ve tried to rent it out to dispensaries but they just seem interested in buying the land. I guess when you have a pocket full of coin it burns a whole in it.

I just want to have a large pad and some artic style greenhouses built to do breeding in. Not so interested in growing bud as it`s a little to much work for this old fart. But what else can I do to get the money to fix this place up like I want it?

 

[markscastle]

Not much going on . Look for a used lumber rack to fit on my truck. I want to use 20` PVC on the tunnels and it would come in handy for picking up 2x6 and 4x4 lumber for a cover over my RV later. Hard to get away for anything because my little ladies are always so thirsty. Checked up on a friends garden and his plants are farther into bud than mine. I`m still hitting mine with lots of N and will be starting bud nutes around the 1rst of the month. My little ladies are healthy and still growing fast so all`s good. Also I have no PM or bugs other than Pray Mantis. Just the same I`ll start spraying them with Bacilus and spinosad soon before I get any caterpillars around the 1st of next month. I`ll be using Monterey Organic Garden Insect spray.

I need to do all my getting around before the end of September because I won`t be getting `out-an- about` once the plants start into heavy bud. To much chance for rippers to come along. Seems my life is run by the grow season way to much! Life of a farmer though.

Wishn i was able too take up your rental offer what a dream come true for this guy. Air space n opportunity anyways dreamin here Mark to you my best thanks for keeping the dream alive

 

[markscastle]

Problem with dreaming is you never get old in your dreams, and you don`t get much done ether! Now days I wake up stiff and sore and flush of chores! I have to push myself to get half as much done as I`d have got done just a few years ago. I`m always being late on my schedule, my plants are healthy and my bud dank though. Just tired of little children asking if I`m Santa! Also what`s up with females these days? Seems all I attract is jail bait or very old buck toothed ,bow legged, bald headed species. Didn`t used to be like that!

 

[bigdaddyg8]

shit man , wish i could be as clear headed .
the older you get the more you need to learn to pace yourself . once what i use to do in a day now takes two .
sometimes , the bow legged species can make it be like it use to be !

 

[markscastle]

Oh I pace myself! The only ladies I got time for right now are my plants anyway! Still would be nice to have a partner.

Looking at a lumber rack Monday or Tuesday to fit my truck. Watered and fetching two more loads to fill my tanks back up today. Thinking of switching to flower ferts soon as most of the plants are starting into flower now. I can always add some N when needed.

 

[markscastle]

Think I should start doing some clipping on lower and underside of the plants. These places don`t get much light and only produce pop corn bud at best. This also allows the root system to send more energy to the branches that will produce the most bud and it allows more air flow under the plants and helps prevent mold and bugs.

 

[joeca1i]

Yeah.Also adds airflow so moisture doesn't hang around..

 

[joeca1i]

Wheres your pets?

 

[markscastle]

I have two cats who I keep in my RV because the eagles and other wild animals would eat them if I let them outside. I also have two dogs, Bruit, a pit-bull and Lowki a pit-bull cross. They are chained to my RV to protect it from bears most of the time. I take them for walks and let them run free down at the creek one at a time because they fight with each other.

I was going to move one of them in the garden this year as part of my security when the buds come out but it looks like my 30 yr. old son will be staying in the garden with a tent instead. He is a licensed armed guard.

 

[markscastle]

Camera shy I guess!

Man my plants must have grown a foot sense the last pictures above! You don`t notis when you see them every day.

 

[altitudefarmer]

Great thread, MC! It took me a long time to get through it, but I almost reads like a novel. Thanks for taking the time to share it.

 

[markscastle]

Thinking of writing a book to publish when MMJ is all legal some day. Mr. Nice wrote one I hear and it became a movie/ dvd. Not sure there is enough excitement though. I kind of like not having any drama anyway.
