Day 84 & 53
I've been out of town the past week, wife's aunt passed away, but our boy did well in caring for the plants.

He texts and says the young plants have grown into the lights so II had him move the older ones out of the greenhouse to the swing set along with the seedlings as I still have mice/rats eating seedlings.
I think he learned more this past week than the previous several months. Some of that crap I've been sharing with him is finally making sense. He did well and I'm very proud.
I potted 5 of the Granddaddy Purple's and 1 Big Pipes this morning. Ground Pounders didn't fair well. With the cold I'm not surprised.
Psychically and mentally I'm about as rested as I've been in a long time. I really needed the break but happy to be home. And since I'm feeling this good it's greenhouse wrapping day and figuring out a way to catch runoff.
Time to put my work boots on and get started. I know I'm a week behind on all the awesome grows going on but I don't have time today. Tonight, after that greenhouse is done I'll take some time to catch up. Really looking forward to it!
Happy Growing!
Checked today and yep it’s there! Thanx SoCal I’m excited !Nice! Glad to hear about your son. And i forgot to check but that package is probably in the mailbox. :-)
About 3 1/2 - 4 years ago a guy who grows for dispensaries crossed Chemdog with Brutus OG and produced several hundred seeds. He's in a "grow circle" with several others in San Diego and a client of mine is also a member. So he gives my client about a hundred seeds who gives me about 4-5 dozen in June 2017.Nice! Glad to hear about your son. And i forgot to check but that package is probably in the mailbox. :-)
Had a male. Had 2 actually. Pulled 1 right away but the other was nice. If I'm not producing at least a few seeds what's the point?when u say...
I planted a few the next day and harvested 3 females in the fall and several hundred seeds.
does this mean they were possibly hermies... and now u are growing these? or did u get males and pollinate the females...
mmmmmmm meat! I looked at something like that at Costco yesterday $75 Cdn, bought chicken legs instead $15.Days 85 & 55
Quick update (I screwed up on the days last time. Sue me).
Rain for the next few days so had to cover

Guess I'll do a SOG. The netting I have is a little on the small size so will have to pick some up.
I had planned on doing one in this spot in the ground this coming spring but this works. They're getting rained on but not in their pots.
The smaller ones are still on the swing set braving out the cold spell.

There's also 7 seedlings, 5 GDP's, 1 Big Pipes and a Ground Pounder. No pics, they're set for bed.
I put all 8 in the greenhouse last night just in case it rained.

I had to remove a shelf as the larger ones were almost hitting the ceiling. They look really good there but I have yet to set up a water catch/drain. As soon as I install it the ones on the swing set and the ones on the pan in the little greenhouse will be in there. I plan on using the entire West side for flowering cannabis.
The youngens are about ready to be flipped.

I moved the lights around and have them set 4am - 8pm for the next few days. Gotta get some better lights.
Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, peppers, bush beans and basil all in Kratky bottles. I plan on filling as much of the East side with lettuce and bok Choi.

The bottom is saved for potatoes, onions and garlic. I have to frame it and fill with soil.
Winter is officially here. I HATE winter/rain/heavy wind, etc. so with that in mind I'm smoking a little Tri tip.

It was hard to keep lit, the coals, it's raining. I'm already lit.
Neighbor's on his way over. I'll get him lit too.
Every single day I'm more and more amazed by these plants. I never thought they'd grow this time of year and here I've got another set of seedlings and will be taking clones this weekend AND planting another few more seeds on the 25th. Amazing!
Happy Growing!
We have a Von's just down the street that marks down their meats 30% when they near their expiration dates. The Tri tip was on sale for $7.99lb minus 30%, otherwise we'd have been eating hamburger helper. Just kidding, we never eat that stuff but I buy a lot of the meat we eat there. Cosco has some really good quality meats but they charge for it, although the pork chops are usually priced within our budget at about $3lb.mmmmmmm meat! I looked at something like that at Costco yesterday $75 Cdn, bought chicken legs instead $15.
Your green house is set up nicely and the swing set is an nice innovative way to utilize space and the equipment available. I have a couple of autos I'll need to put under something next season the swing set A frame looks like an Idea I can use.
The addiction I have right now is my grow room and I'm blaming you guys and this site for this new addiction. I used to grow by looking at them every few days to see if they needed water and I let my rooms slide into chaos. Since being here I'm spending upwards of 2 hrs a day in there some times more depending on what I want to get done. Then I'm on here seeing what more I can do and learning from you all. Wife still wants to ban me from this site lol.We have a Von's just down the street that marks down their meats 30% when they near their expiration dates.

Old swing sets make a great greenhouse. Usually not tall enough to stand upright in but easy to cover.
I've got 3 bathtubs I'll put along the West side of the large greenhouse and they too will have to be covered as I'll be running DWC eventually.
Never been this active in the garden this time of year. Usually it's only 1 or 2 days a month digging up spots and adding manure and tending the lettuce and spinach as needed.
Still 8-10 weeks before my first winter harvest. Next year I'll have to start in July so I have a Christmas harvest!
Just checked the weather and see more rain for next week. I sure hope that's it for a while as we're going camping in a few weeks, rain or shine!
That's funny my wife felt the same way. What worked for me is trying to talk to her about it. Run your ideas past her and ask her opinion then debate... She will be glad you have people to talk to other than her about your grow room lmao.The addiction I have right now is my grow room and I'm blaming you guys and this site for this new addiction.

I use to shop there all the time but found if we check the weekly sale papers we can save a lot of $ by visiting several stores and they're all within a few miles of each other. Food 4 Less is right across the street and Smart & Final has become our main store these days and there's a 99 Cent store next door. All are within 2 blocks.Stater Bro's for meat.... oh... there a meat shop... right here that's Great

Awesome addiction. Me too! Wives do not understand. You'd think they'd be happy we're not chasing them around the house trying to cop a feel, or maybe that's the problem? Naw. I still chase mine.The addiction I have right now is my grow room and I'm blaming you guys and this site for this new addiction.

There is a meat market on Mission in San Marcos that rocks but they too are expensive. Picked up a few pounds of their sausage with Jalapeno a few years ago. If it wasn't $10+ a pound we'd get it regularly.
game camera will tell the tell bro,i had something ripping huge holes in my beds last year,my oldest boy set his trail camera up in bottom garden and had 3 coons and a possum visiting,the one coon i didny get obviuosly trap smart had to go over 15 lbs,huge bastard,got all the rest,hadnt been back either,im betting on mice bro,if it wasnt raining there best bet is moth balls all around your shit,snakes cant even stand it,but once wet you have to replace,i even cut down spider activity under my mobile home years ago this wayLooked at a leak through a ceiling this morning. It's the upstairs master bedroom bathtub/shower faucet. Tried to repair and it's been leaking so long I couldn't get it apart so scheduled for tomorrow morning which gave me time before my 10:30 appointment so came home and water.

Something is eating my seedlings. The one and only Ground Pounder lost it's leaves and a GDP was munched on.

Story of my life.
The adults in the tomato stand are killing it.

Took a close look and they seem to all be female.
As a matter of fact I haven't seen a male, at all. Awesome but weird. I expected a few at least.
Time to work. Sucks but pays the bills.
Beautiful! I just planted 11 leaf lettuce in 6 2.5 liter bottles on their sidesKudos @PlumberSoCal for inspiring me to set up my own kratky jars. I've got some basil, baby bok choi, mustard and romaine lettuce going!

I'm a complete noob with growing anything and I went straight to coco with my ladies and straight to kratky with these vegetables. But I'm glad I did because I'm 100% all in on hydroponics. Watching the growth on these plants day by day is something else and I know I'm on to something when my experienced friends come over and their eyes get real big when I unzip my tent.
Wife wants one for the driveway, might just order a cheap one and test it on the seedlings.game camera will tell the tell bro,i had something ripping huge holes in my beds last year,my oldest boy set his trail camera up in bottom garden and had 3 coons and a possum visiting,the one coon i didny get obviuosly trap smart had to go over 15 lbs,huge bastard,got all the rest,hadnt been back either,im betting on mice bro,if it wasnt raining there best bet is moth balls all around your shit,snakes cant even stand it,but once wet you have to replace,i even cut down spider activity under my mobile home years ago this way
