Yea I have only found the real tiny morels out in the yard. We do need a rain and we could use a few more of those 50degree nights! For the morels and for the seedlings.

Hey guys im a newbie grower, i got 50 blueberry seeds i am going to plant outdoors. It is going to be on a farm and im hoping the farmer that farms our land will be growing corn, so i can put some plants in between the corn rows. Also we have two swamp areas, is it a good idea to plant them around swamps as the soil will be moist.any tips or info would be appreciated as this is my 1st season.Also any tips on good areas to plant so i wont get caught and do u guys ususally put a lil fence around ur plants to prevent animals form eating them.Thanks

also my buddy told me to use organic soil. and to sprout them in wet paper towels,then plastic cups, then 1 gal bag,then 3 gal,then 5 gal.what ur opinion? that seems like alot of work, could i just go from putting them in a cup with soil and thm planting them in the dirt?also do u put down organice soil where u grow?thanks

There is a post in outdoor growing titled (Good soil in a burlap bag)
He tells how to grow in a burlap sack floating on logs in the swamp
sounds good I may try 1 or 2 this year

Hey Adam my rule of thumb is organics inside, chemical ferts outside. The reason for that being is the smell some organic ferts and or soil mixture can a will bring in the racoons,skunks,etc. Although many many people use organic materials through the grow season, which is ideal and have no issues with there plants coming up mysteriously missing.

Planting in a swamp can be real tuff, and can be very devastating if planting directly in the ground.. Can be done though, you must be prepared for some tough digging and haulin soil, be very generous with vermiculite or perlite.. If I dig down 2 feet around the dry part of our swamp water comes up , Not trying to discourage it, just let it be known that for a good crop in a swamp it's work. 5 gallon buckets would be ideal just your plants will not get as big as they could! which in terms means it is not a mature as it could have been, which can lead to a little later harvest, Now if you had 50 blueberry clones I would really consider 5 gallon buckets.

And a tip .. Pot plant roots love airy soil

Hope this helps

this is how i start them i go buy jiffy peat pellets, they seem to have a good gemination rate. i start them about the third week of april, grow under a 4 tube floresent light 24/7 2in above plant . soil is THE PERFECT MIX can purchase at walmart. after all plants have sprouted lighting goes to 16on/2off/2on/4off (this helps produce more female when u sex them) grow for 4 weeks then time to sex them. cut lighting 12/12 for a week or 2 by then most plants will tell u what they are, bump lighting back up until ready to plant dig your holes the size of a 5gallon buckett ive done this for 4 yrs and get a 70% female and a 1/2 lb off each plant but that is a nother day. i hate typing

That unique lighting cycle really produces more females?

2010 Grow

Im in the SE lower and this will be my 3rd outdoor grow. Here's what ive done so far.

I don't have the money to buy good seeds so I always use bag seed from the best sac ive got in the previous year.
Started 4 plants indoors using the paper towel method on march 15th and put them under some new led's i'm trying this year. I let the plants get 6 nodes high and used uncle ben's topping technique https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/151706-uncle-bens-topping-technique-get.html to get 4 main colas and cloned the tops.( I did this one week ago) I also started ten more seeds on april 5th. A long time friend of mine gave me 2 clones of female northern lights which i am stoked about. Currently i have 20 plants under my led's which is all i have room for in my grow room. I plan on moving all my plants outdoors around the second or third week of may since the weather is about 2 weeks ahead of schedule this year. I will be diggin my hole's big and fillin with foxfarm soil and using foxfarm nutes grow big, tiger bloom, and big bloom.

Updates to come and happy early 420 to everyone. Glad to see all the good michigan growers out there and good luck to all of you. Be careful out there and do what ya do best.

thanks dave i agree. this weekend sucked too man i hate getting teased my mother nature.

A little better today but I will wait until the last part of May (If I can control myself)
Really want to get these girls in the ground

I know this isn't what this thread is about but has anyone had any luck finding morels while scoping out planting sites?? i think the lack of rain and this cold weather is slowing them down but let me know if anyone has started finding any?
