It's the rippers with the helicopter, get 'em!!!!alaska 5-1-1 the most underated easiest to find source of good quick nitrogen. everyone should have some in their arsenal of ferts. and i like your avatar Izoc666
True True True, 511 is the best nitrogen, cant burn with it ! thanks bro and +rep for ya as wellalaska 5-1-1 the most underated easiest to find source of good quick nitrogen. everyone should have some in their arsenal of ferts. and i like your avatar Izoc666

Hey man, i was thinking of bringing some promix to my site this year. I might be able to fit some compost but would rather bring easy to carry ferts like bone, blood meal and guano... my site is an 1h and a half hike in the woods...ill try and fit as much as i can in a big hockey bag that ill be carrying on my back. If the compost makes a really big diffrence, ill do some more runs... anything for my ladiesi wouldn't use topsoil myself. i used to do that when younger and first trying this sport. most topsoil will turn to mud when it is 2'-3' deep after a good rain. plus it compacts real quick and doesn't get enough air to the roots. i am not sure what vermicompost is? is it like vermiculite? if so it would help the topsoil airate but it still would not be the best option. a bag of sunshine mix #1 3.8 cu ft uncompresses out to be quite a bit of soil. if needed you could use a little cheaper soil in it to make it go a bit further. bags around here go for $30 bucks for the 3.8 compressed. i'll admit i have a hook up since greenhouses are in the family but even at full price i would pay for it. adding good compost some eathworm castings if you can afford, and a few dashes of bat guano a few weeks prior to planting and you will have great plants that show their potential.
Thx alot bud!!if water retention is a problem there are a few easy things you can do first and best is applying a good layer of mulch over them. digging good deep holes will help the plants to find water also as going a couple feet down it's nearly always moist. the third thing you can do would be to use water plolymers. if you are not familiar with them they are little polymers that look like crystals, a tablespoon full would suck enough water to fill a decent sized cup. then they slowmy release it back to the soil. a little bit goes a long way. they are not organic and are supposed to be harmless but i only use them for potted plants around the house non-ganja. but many use them for ganja and love them.
i also do some hiking so i know how that is my friend. get a good shovel a stout short handled one with a handle on the end those work best for me. depending on your area you may need an ax for roots. i'm so far in the sticks i cut trees for better light, people may complain about that practice but thinning the trees is a good thing for the rest of them to grow.
anyway the soil, i love to use earthworm castings i use as much as i can afford. they are not cheap but the more the better. they give many micronutrients and lots of beneficial microbes to help the soil and plant fight diseases. in the spring i put mex bat guano and homemade compost in with my soil. the compost like the castings i use as much as i can if i can put 10% compost that is a good thing. the guano i spread a few weeks before planting a small cup (8oz fl volume) every few feet and mix it in the first 4-6 inches of soil.
other than that i usually water them with earth juice grow once every 10 days or so at normal strenght. give them a shot of microblast once or twice while in veg stage. and keep a good eye out for any bug probs or diseases.
as soon as they start to show their sex i stop the nitrogen and switch to bloom juice again i have been using earth juice or foxfarms bloom juice. also mixed with waterings.
over the years i have used everything from the cheapest to very expensive stuff and this seems to work fine. the plants are big and healthy not lacking anything.
i am a big fan of tieing my plants down so they grow almost horizontaly it seems to give them good light and makes the lateral branching almost as big as the tops. doing it like this you must watch them in the fall becouse the stakes used to keep them down are going to be needed to keep them up due to weight. but it also makes the plants outline a little less distinguishable from a distance to other people looking for ganja. not to mention a bit shorter.
In terms of security...I dont think poeple will find it lol, its so far away from anything that I think I might of even over done it a little beacause its gonna be a bitch to get there evrey time...when you decide to start your digging get out there as soon as the ground is thawed and dig your holes. this will make it so the vegetation doesn't get stompted down and it will grow good and cover your area. also little plants will grow in your soil you hauled a few small weeds is a good thing to keep the soil from standing out. or else drag some big sticks and let the plants grow in between them almost like a trellis. sounds foolish but works well. and makes them harder to find.
