Awesome dogs man, I love having mine to keep me sane during Sep-Oct sleeping outside. Looks like a kick ass setup, and you've got this shit planned for an excellent season.

looks like we are neighbors, good luck to you GB. thanks for the support

They did try to pass an ordinance but a petition overruled the ban. Now the board has a choice of putting it on the ballot in November or just letting it slide. It's beautiful in shasta and the local economy is definitely supported by all the growers up here! Hopefully it stays off the ballot in November and they can quit trying to make such ridiculous bans on outdoor in norcal -.-

Nice looking light dep hoop you've got there. Getting ready to set one up in Oregon next month. Flip on June 1 and finish up end of July. Will have the monsters next door in the other 40 footer. Any advice for me on light dep? This is my first time doing it. Weather up here sucks balls!

good luck man, you should be okay around that time June-july shouldnt be to wet. I would just make sure you have adequate airflow when the lights are off(being tarped) the humidity peaks could really take a toll on the garden. and i use REMAY fabric or frost protection fabric as a top to my hoops, lets in a ton of air and also allows 85% of the light to shine thru! if you need any advice just ask!

Sorry for laggin on the updates guys! Rollitup was down for so long I've gotten a ton done since last time I posted in here. It's been a rough ass week, my little guy Chief passed away on Saturday. My heart has been broken and I feel so bad for the little guy. Buried him out at the spot and just been in a sad mood all week. This year is all for lil Chief

Been busy over here moving everything into the hoop, staking them up, and doing some work on the property.

The plants have been outside for 1 week today, and they look great! It was pretty windy the first few days they were outside, so I had my girl stake them up with some bamboo to keep them from getting knocked down from the wind. They are all starting to show pre-flowers and are looking good. Been feeding them Age Old Organics Fish & Seaweed, a bit of Age Old Organics Kelp, and some Maxsea too. Also been runing the sulfur burner at night every couple of days as a preventative measure against PM. They've been loving it!

Yesterday was a bit weird though. My girl and I noticed a bunch of flying termites on the remay on one side of the hoop. I didn't have my phone on me to take a picture of them, but I attached a picture on here of what they looked like. Read up on them online and it said that after the first heavy rain of the season, they fly around and try to find a place to nest. Needed to make sure that place wasn't my hoop lol. Saw some horror stories online about how termites can eat your entire crop in a few days span! When we went back inside the hoop a few hours later, there were no termites to be found. But we wanted to be extra sure that they weren't coming back so we sprayed some insect killer around the perimeter of the terrace, did a foliar spray of Monterey Spinosad, hung up some sticky fly traps, and also grabbed some Sevin spray but haven't used it yet. We went back today and there were no termites at all. Hopefully they were just passing through....

Have you guys ever had termites around your plants? Shit was crazy. Luckily they're all gone now. Anyways I attached some pictures of the ladies, one of our little girl puppy with some Krypto, and a few of lil Chief as well. RIP little man, this year is for you.

Really sorry to hear about your dog that's a tough thing loosing a friend.
I do have a couple questions for you. First one is. With your light dep tarp & the high humidity at night what time do you cover at night, and do you go out & remove the light dep tarp after it's totally dark? Seems like their wouldn't be much time for humidity to build up if the tarp is only on for 5 hrs. or so??
Second question is regarding the sulphur burns. Obviously your using as a preventative measure but won't it effect the taste of the bud? I've read not to use it while in bud.

Sorry to hear about your dog man, I'm smoking one for Chief.

Gardens looking good, you need some gravel down that hallway

 

[angryblackman]

I have 3 dogs and don't know what I would do without any of them. I will be smoking one for Chief as well.

thanks for the support its been a little foggy in MOFOOS head lately but my game is back on point
question 1: right now im NOT covering at night, i will be covering in about a week or 2 when the times really start getting longer.
question 2: when i do start tarping thats exactly what i wouldnt do is untarp in the middle of the night because you are giving your self more a chance to fail. i will be running 3 exhaust fans to help keep the humidity down.
question 3: the sulphur burner will stop being run at about week 3 its just to help keep the PM away while the plants adapt to the outdoors. PS. never had any bad taste from the burner with my style of growing i spray way to much foliar for any residue to be lingering. theyll get a bath of water before real buds appear! thanks for the qestuons keeping me on point

GB! smoke 1 a day for the little homie.
i do need some gravel but im a perfectionist. it means i have to remove all my plants and lay gravel down everywhere so me and the lady are in a standstill but gravel is in the future but i am worried about the gravel retaining to much heat come mid summer, whats your thoughts>>
