You can place some potted plants between it and the road. It does kind of blend in with the other plants. Unless you know what you are looking at.

Ok, nevermind on the moving part, got some potted plants back around there, have any you could move there without looking like you took your whole yard there?

I climbed just outside of my roof patio a while ago to clear some debris from the outer drain and looking in the plants blend in really well with the others. Unless someone knows its there and is specifically looking for cannabis they won't see them. And that was only from about 20' away. Just need something to break up the lines if ya know what I mean

More young folks vote during presidential elections. Two years ago it was an off election cycle. More blue haired ladies.

I heard the three biggest spenders against #2 are the drug companies, prison guards and dope dealers.
This happened a while ago and its also a small amount of money compared to other companies lobbying, but it hurts, considering i used to love publix. Im still stuck on their chicken tender subs thou but now i just walk out with them and say fuck it.

So Larry, do you plant directly into Florida's sandy soil from a transplant or do you leave your plants in a pot and just dig them into the ground and leave them? Do you make your own soil or buy premade? Whats your nutes of choice? Just want to grab as much information as i can from a fellow Florida grower since i have nobody else to relate to here..

My full seasons go into the ground with from 2 to 15 gallons of my soil mix mixed with the dirt already there, according to how far I have to pack it in. I use some bulk farm ferts {like 13-13-13} along with some time release in my holes. I think I listed some of my soil mixes in my grow thread. https://www.rollitup.org/t/covert-grow-ops-sidetracked.903809/ But they were mostly a blend of mushroom compost, chicken manure compost, cow manure compost, cotton compost, peat moss, potting soil, Epsom salts, lime, coffee grounds, vermiculite, perlite, bulk farm ferts, time release ferts and some {but not to much, due to smell} organic ferts. Late in the season I got a cat litter connection, so I added that to some of the mixes. But that is clay, and is heavy as hell.

When I water, I add about a cup of pee per gallon of water. It's 11-2-1, just about the perfect veg food. But most of my patches were what I call Darwin Dope. For the most part, they are on their own, so they get more of the time release and less food and water. Some years it works out great, but we had a long dry spell that cost me about a dozen plants this year.

The patches that were close enough for me to tend get about 2 1/2 gallons of food and water a week. The FP patch was real close to water, and got more per watering and two waterings a week. Those plants {Peach, Rotten Stinking Bastard, Hurricane Head and the male, Big and Stinky were easily two to three times as big as the others. But they also had worms, bud rot and PM problems that haven't happened in their hungry, thirsty sisters.

I use the scatter shot approach to growing. I throw a bunch of them out, and hope there will be a few good ones at the end of the year. Folks with just one or a few plants have to go about it a different way.

But these young plants will stay in one gallon pots. I might go to two gallon pots {or into the ground} for the Spring crop, but will wait to see how these do in the smaller ones.

And some of my dirt is real good, but it comes with big trees. I tried to plant around downed trees in the woods, and didn't get enough sun on those patches. The FP patch is the exception. It has good dirt, and good sun. It's an old grown up field, so the trees aren't too big yet. But some good river bottom land near me got planted in pines a couple years ago. That will be golden in a couple more years. Unless it floods, like it did this spring.

Had one more of the oldest plants with balls today. Three out of five males kind of sucks, but it will free up room for more coming along. I moved the two that were about ready to open a couple hundred yards away. I'll have to wait until Wednesday to harvest the pollen and kill them.

The two remaining girls. Blooming al-damn-ready.

I brought two sprouts to put in the two open holes. A Peach. . . . .

. . . . . . and a Tray Jumper. It will be Hurricane Head, Peach or Rotten Stinking Bastard. Not knowing what strain you are growing. No worries. Remember this is just a test.

Heard the chopper near the house today. Those black pots had to stand out in the sand. Felt it prudent to get them out of the garden. I culled a couple of each kind of the sprouts, then took what was left to the marsh grass. While I was down there, I chopped the two older males. I brown bagged them for now. {had to get to work} Glad I moved them {the males}. Lots of pollen flying when I cut them.

Look what I found in the pot when I cut the funky leaf male. Poor thing hadn't been getting any light.

I didn't look at the others. No time.

The chopper wasn't circling or anything like that. I just felt better getting those black pots moved from the white sand in my garden.

And I was joking about feeling sick. Just saying that when it's time to sign up for the medical weed, I'm going to be in line.

I had a sprout in one of the coffee cups from a while back. Hurricane Head {FP} I think it was. I moved it out into the sun a couple of days ago, and it was dead this morning.

I gave the ones in the marsh grass a drink of weak food and water yesterday. I need to move the 3rd male before the pollen sacks open, but didn't get to it. I think I will use it {the last one to show sex} for breeding. But I will save the pollen from all three.

Also need to sink the pots from latest round of seedlings I carried down there.

The two budding plants are looking pretty good. The males I killed had just about filled the gallon pots with roots, so I may put the two females in the ground. They need to be moved anyway. The marsh grass has been getting browner everyday. We did have a light frost this morning.
