Michigan Growers Tell Your Plans for This Year

Nothing my friend, I do an indoor med garden only, but I am in Michigan. I have friends that do greenhouses so its always nice to learn from you guys and make some solid recommendations for them. One of them in particular has had serious mold/rot issues and dialing his strains into more outdoor friendly genetics is helping him improve his quality and yields. Thanks again for the responses!

Mold Is a bitch. I lost pounds to it last year.
I looked through your grow thread. Your plants look like works of art. I wish the wife would let me have a setup like that

I wish mine would too lol. Its an issue for her and she's about to get a ring, so I'm afraid my garden will be put on hold until I can find other means of enjoying it.... Which may mean moving it outside :)

Thanks for the compliments, I really do see it as a work of art. I'm really into training and maximizing yields for artificial lighting. Those training methods can definitely be used outside as well though. I'm pretty sure I could fill up a 12 x 20 greenhouse with 6 plants or less lol.

Here is a thread everyone can appreciate! Mainling Thread There is an outdoor grower in the thread named Mohican that uses mainlining training methods with landrace type genetics similar to Dr. Greenthumb. I've done a few plants like this, but I mostly grow from clones so I just sort of have my own feel for how I want to train.

Mold is def a bitch. He grows in a greenhouse. He does have an air exchange, but I don't think its adequate. Last year I suggested he concentrate on some outdoor friendly genetics, do some heavier pruning and rent a commercial dehum. All suggestions proved to be well worth it for him as his losses were a fraction of the two years previous. I want to say he also ran something from Dr. Greenthumb, I'll see what it was and get back.
 
Thanks for that link. Ive done my share of topping and training but nothing like that. I really like the idea of stripping all the lower garbage off.
I hate popcorn and airy underdeveloped bud. I always feel obligated to keep it and not waste but its never worth it.
im gonna try that on a small plot close to home.

I think you'll like it if you have a plant you're comfortable working with close to home. Nugbuckets used to finish 16 headers outdoors in containers (I think he's in Michigan) and they were absolutely gorgeous. I'm pretty sure he has some vast privately owned acreage to work with by looking at his pictures though lol.
 
Ive gotten mine in as little as four days. Im just a stones throw across the border.
I would really appreciate it if you let me know how that mtf turns out. Haven't seen a feedback on that one yet
 
Im down to only 3 five gallon buckets of bud to trim from last year.
time to order up some seeds for 2014. Ive put alot of thought into it and its gonna be 100% greenthumb this year.
10 Iranian g13, 10 Iranian diesel, and 20 Iranian autos. I told myself that I wouldn't do Iranian autos this year because there so finicky to grow. Its just to damn potent to pass up though.
Thats 500$ in genetics.
 
I am putting out Cannilope Kush from DNA. Probably start them up Mid April and have them out in late May. Ground should be nice and wet this year, so now all we need is nice weather.
 
Got my gear for this year
10 Endless Sky. Greenthumb
4 female seeds easy sativa
4 female seeds C99
hope this year is warm and rain once a week
good luck everyone stay safe
 
Southern Mich, 30x50 Greenhouse, 35 plants. 10 Blueberry Headband, 10 OG Critical, 10 Northern Soul, 5 Pineapple Express. Hope to crack them in the next 2 weeks........ I got the spring green-thumb itch for sure!!!!!
