High Outwest, I'm running DJ Short Blueberry mostly, but also have a couple of each of these, Purple Arrow, Purple Widow, Snow Cap, Master Kush, GDP, Space Queen, Grape Fruit Kush, Killa Skunk and Pink Skunk. I'm growing both outside and inside (have a 14' x 14' indoor bloom room and a 8' x 8' Veg room; I live in Washington and my wife and I are both MMJ patients (cancer) and I'm a provider for one person so I'm running 45 plants. In the spring I leave the sides of the Hoop House up and as it gets hotter I run four (4) 20" fans in there, then as fall comes I close it all off and put a small heater and dehumidifier and I'm good till November! Been doing this for the last couple of years...started when my wife Kathy got sick, that was truly a fuck up time in our life, she completed her treatment and is okay today, but we know this cancer will come back at some point...we're making the best of our lives now.

Sorry to hear about your wife, I truly hope it stays in remission for a long, long time. I love your "Tomatoes", looks/sounds like they are well tended and live a full life. I bet that BB is tasty, as well as the rest of those beauties. I hope all is well with you and yours. Do you like your smart pots, I love them

I'm not sure about the smart pots as this is the first year I've used them (I'm using 7 gallon pot now) if they work as well as I believe they will I'll move up to 30 gallon next year, the biggest pots I'm using this year is 20 gallon in my tiny house I've built this spring (6,000 watts), as you can see I'm out in the sticks (way back in the sticks!) lol

I'm in the sticks myself, the key I've learned is to get the plants roots to hit the inside of the smart pot before they start to flower. This way you are using them as intended, I used 45 gallon outside and a lot of my plants never reached the pot so I really just had a big pot. When I feel like blasting something I kick the back door open and open fire, after I ask my wife if its ok. Just kidding, I have her hold the balloons. Plants in the smart pots like to be able to grow the roots out the bottom, so it might be a good idea to put them on the ground if possible, gotta go she's holding a balloon. Take care my friend

You know now that I think of it there are a lot of us out this way! lol I can think of a dozen within 30 minutes of here! And then there's Seattle! The friendliest major city in the PNW that is MMJ friendly! Our "Farmers Markets" aren't what your mother went too! lol This is what I picked up at the very first "Farmers Market" in Tacoma a couple years ago!
