Time for this Journal to really start getting under way.... Don't be surprised if I start posting pics of plants very soon, as some are already going strong!
as of now, my spring run will consist of:
1 Purple Kush
1 Twilight
1 Chemo Cindy
a couple Jack Herers
At least 1 Silverback
And Hopefully a few more I have yet to elect
.... I would like to have about 16-20 go out for the spring run to provide ample variety, and enough quantity to hold me and my patients over through the longer summer fall season
Was checking the almanac, and it seems Perfect for the plants to start going out towards the end of February and flower all the way through the beginning and middle of May, both photo period and frost wise
.
I don't think the Greenhouse will be completed then by any means.... But I do think that as I harvest the spring run, and put the full season plants out, the greenhouse will be getting very close (or at least close enough) to being completed
. Considering the semi permanency of it.... I am putting off construction until I have made all the necessary preparations and (unfortunately) all of the appropriate decisions and plans :/
.
I have found a source for well seasoned Horse manure (fresh stuff available too to mix them together
)..... I have found a source for Llama droppings (seasoned and fresh)..... I have found a source for Fowl dropping enriched topsoil..... I have plenty of granular decomposed granite already added to the bottom layer of usable soil. Perlite will be added... bat guanos.... earth worm castings... some blood and bone meals...... some steer manure..... and a few other store bought goodies and amendments....
The soil that is already there is Top Shelf for natural soil! I will make a diagram that shows what the layers are going to be looking like so you can get a better idea of where its headed. Provided good weather tomorrow, I will get pics of the area as it is.... as I have already sifted through and leveled out most of the area...... nature providing rain for leeching all the way along!
I sure am super excited about this upcoming season..... but I know that I am going to need a good amount of luck..... and As much love from Mother Nature as I can get...... so far she is holding my hand and gently tugging me through everything, guiding me and allowing sweet providences along the way (such as perfect natural granite content, consisting of perfectly placed shelves and veins, and the perfect variety of decomposed and solid granite as well as amazing soil quality, lots or rain, and enough stone in the soil for me to construct the necessary walls as we go along..... but you will see what I am talking about in these regards very soon here and all along the way
).
I would hope that anyone that reads through this journal (besides myself) will feel confident by its end in composing their own future successful outdoor grows based on information that will flow forth
.
