Hey grow peeps, I'm sorry it's been so very long. I've missed you all, but I thought of you lots this summer. My business has been absolutely insane. Some of you may remember that I hired an associate for my business, she only stayed for 6 months. It wasn't a good fit. My profession has a high burn-out rate, and I'm a little fried. I'm glad to know you guys are all here keepin' it real.
The other part of the reason I was so busy was that I took full advantage of my Oregon-ness, and had an outdoor grow of 7 plants. (4) in 100 gallon grow bags, and (3) in 25 gallon bags. My friend Nick and I worked together, and had a blast, and my 7 plants yielded about 8 solid pounds of rough-trimmed bud. Yes, it was great, and I know I will surprise many of you with this: but I don't think I want to do that again.
But there were Purple Hindu Kush, Vanilla Kush, Dairy Queen, and Jack Herer in 100gallon grow bags, they each produced a little over a pound and a half each. There were also Blue Dream, Bubba Kush and White Russian in 25gallon grow bags. These yielded between 6 and 12 ounces. We had little rain, especially for Oregon, so very little mold. We did get the tiny caterpillars, but caused minimal losses. That BT spray wiped them right out with no nasty stuff in it.
Even though people like to say that soil grown tastes better, I disagree. I've grown in hydro using a couple of different nutrients, most recently MegaCrop (good shit, yo), and last Christmas I got a LEC315. My last indoor grow yielded a little over 7 ounces (it was pretty gangly in there) of Dairy Queen by TGA. The indoor version tastes far better than the clone of the same plant that I grew in Gaia's Gift Soil. It's also a lot more potent and sticky.
Mostly, I got really tired of trimming. I know, it sounds like a nice problem to have. But trimming several pounds of pot is freeking TEDIOUS and messy. And now, I have 2 laundry baskets filled with gallon bags of weed. The Jack Herer plant didn't turn out that well, I did an experimental grow with the cheapest soil available at the Farmer's Co-op. Gaia's Gift soil seems to have made a tremendous difference.
Peace, blessings and clean tents to you all.
