Heres some planting and growing advice

King Amdo Registered on May-26-2004 More User Info Message #18448 posted by King Amdo (Info) May 14, 2006 17:00:07 ET Seeing as I just wrote this I thought I'd put this up for people to see.... Assuming that the risk of frost is over and the plants are big enough and hardened off you can plant out now. I find they grow to quickly and lanky if there is too much heat (greenhouse). Once they are 6" high then they'll take off. Most varieties respond well to compostation and fertilizer...(but not the difficult/specialist types)...and by putting time and effort into quality rather than quanity you will be greatly rewarded! This might mean loctating quality soil from a streambed and carrying to the planting site (good method)...so your nice and light planting site might benefit from being near a boggy stream bed type thing...with lots of rich silt/run off from woodlands etc...perhaps pine woods might not be so ideal...more acidic etc. This has the advantage of 'watering in' the plants. This is very important...if the soil is dry and theres no rain or the weather turns dry soon after planting you'll get severe growth retardation unless you have this reserve of moisture. They are vunerable at this stage. Then on site mix this soil with fertilizer...perhaps wood ash or some nice stuff like this maybe.... http://www.organiccatalog.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=60_165_167&products_id=2090 You want at least a cubic foot hole. It would be quite nice to prepare a planting around the previous fall...obatining a largish area of 100% wool carpet, putting down some fertilizer, broadcast style, and then simply cut holes through the now rotting carpet next late spring and planting directly into the rich woodland soil! You'll have stable, undisturbed and firm soil this way...and plants that are more likely to stay upright. (they get heavy!) This could be used 2 years or more maybe depending on surrounding vegetation...it tends to grow so quick. Again much easier in the garden...but perhaps less cosmic than being in the woods! Protect from rabbits with chicken wire. I build a cylinder about 1.5-2 feet high around each plantmade from scrap apple orchard tree protectors nearby...you'll find the rabbits will stand on their hind legs and stretch up to get at this plant. Bury the base firmly in the soil...find some sicks locally to weave through the wire and prod into the soil... so supporting the cylinder well against animal predation. I don't plant where there are deer. Slugs can be a problem but not if you plant early and big enough. Yes the house garden is best...the plants can be tended to properly...but this can be stressful. I can't decide if I'm going to prune the plants this year...I discoved this season not to 'top' (prune) auto-flowering varities...it delays them! Pruning has the advantage of the stems then weaving themselves through the wire and so the whole arrangment being stronger and self supposting...rather than messing around with string/poles etc later on. Otherwise I tie the stalk of the plant to the top of the wire cylinder with string. Unless you have all female plants or have planted out after flowering starts in the case of autoflowers you'll need to check for the start of flowering whenever that is..it can vary a lot...unless you know the cultivar. When they start flowering they'll put on a huge growth of bud..if you've only purchased small expensive bits from dealers before its truely awesome to see!

I thought afterwords of the crucial ripening period here in the UK. It can be rainy and damp here and the larger the bud grows, the more vunerable it is to mold. This is the time when you need to watch the crop. On the other hand sometimes I've left stuff that was starting to turn....and came back to find dynamite weed way after time....sometimes all the leaves rotted away...leaving nice very high skunky mindlock weed. Actually that stuff was sensi seeds rud...the 1/2 of this non stablized F1 hybrid that started early...doesn't actually really form what U might call 'sound' bud untill right at the end of the season...after several months of flowering - despite autflowering at a foot tall or so. The non autoflowering 1/2 produces very nice chunky skunk type buds...the autflowering stuff is WEIRD! I did think about constructing a temporary plastic cover for a particularly fine outdoor WW feminised...but never bothered...and so as soon as any rain hit the bud...mold followed straight away. Greenhouses can be humid mold nests also. I guess the solution might be to find strain that likes humidity...and heat...Thai or something. Don't fight the heat...transcend the heat...transcend ego...transcend material karma...watch the water boling away around you...and laugh! OM! Oh I also left some very hectic mexican sativa from sensi seeds. The bud turned blue in the centre and was truely ripe. I took it in the truck somewhere else, and was stopped by the police of course. Fortunatly the good magic interveined, and reality changed. Trust me on this one kids...the power...thats sound power...is infinitely stonger with free cannabis, especially organically grown and out of doors also. Cannabis without magic is called skitaphrenia. (ultimately). SHANTIPATH!

Check out some permaculture references to find out what mulching is...ordinary grass/hay/bracken is good...whatever you can find nearby. It will mean yuo wont have to water in drought conditions. Think laterally. Drying and harvesting.... http://boards.marihemp.com/boards/thd13x8348.shtml Om

Hang upside down on a line in a darkened room. Fan heater assisted ideally with dehumidifier to prevent any mold, and dry for one month at 20 Centegrade. Large plants will still be growing/pushing out resin at this point. Smaller plants will dry before this. This gave me top grade weed...really nice nice sacrement...religious quality! Pak into air tight containers. Make bubbleshash from the leaves/surplus. OM

I should think that the plantlets could be planted out into a mulched bed in a sunny aspect by the time they were grown to fill the unit. Don't forget to harden them off by taking the lid off during the day for a few days prior to planting out. http://www.organiccatalog.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2068 This way, you're personnal address will only be exposed during drying - if you can't find anyones who is safe to dry the harvest at. (You can oder just one of the units or even 4 of them if you phone them)
