Good morning Gary and welcome to the passion. I know your area very well as lived in South Georgia just about 3 miles from the Florida line off I95 for over 30 years before I retired here in Virginia. Yes it would benefit to have a canopy of some sorts but I don’t have that option here unless I would build something 9which is not totally out of the question) plus I like the benefit of mother natures way regardless. I do plan on drying my plants off after huge rains next year and using some different techniques to prevent bud rot. Many folks got the rot here last year cats too but they were mostly new growers as our state just became legal to grow recently so everyone is getting their feet wet so to speak. Your setup sounds good with the fans adding additional wind for your plants. did your plants finish up successfully? what strains did you grow? In the 5 gal pots only or any directly in the ground? How about yield? Glad you joined the passion and looking forward to seeing what you do this year. Start a grow page if you want to. It helps as a reminder of any mistakes or good advice for the next year and is nice to go back and see how your plants have improved. You can check out my garden page to get an idea. Just search for SubGirls garden In the search block. Glad that I was your first post. We do have a bit of fun here too so jump on in.
Good day SG, sorry for taking so long getting back to you, we had a housefull of guest over the weekend and just now getting back to normal living, though nothing seems normal for me anymore.
Wow, we were almost neighbors as one time. I need to get over to the new members intro and say something to the gang.
I grow in 5 gal fabric pots above ground and my soil is homemade, or was homemade, this coming season I'll be growing in Roots Organics Formula 707. Just ordered 9 cubic feet from amazon yesterday.
Ma and I are heavy smokers (pot that is) as well as decarb for hot drinks. We both are retired so we don't have anyone to answer to anyone. My preferred grow is an equal amount of sativa and indica, wirh a mixture of different levels thc and cbd. Our day starts off with a heavy laden sativa and as the day progress the we tend to work toward the indica and by nighttime we're into the heavy indica to sleep on.
Last year was probably the worst grow I’ve ever had. I took a few days off during late vegetable for a hospital stay and by the time I got back to tending the garden, worms had taken over. Luckily there were a few stems not harmed, I cut off and gave to a friend with an indoor setup and he eventually get them going and had a decent yield.
Fortunately I grow more strains than we can consume in a year so we had smoke from a year or two past to work from. I’ll be putting out 13 plants this season and if they are successful, I’ll have a reserve put back for whenever as well for guests.
They are Dr. Grinspoon, G13 Haze, ACDC, Harliquin, Godzilla Glue #4, BCN Critical, Girl Scout Cookies, Gorilla Glue, White Widow, Dos Si Dos 13, Sugar Black Rose and Eleven Roses.
Thanks for the invite to check out your garden, I'll be going there next.
Take care,
garybo
