Looking for outdoor growing advice

[Tfogoman]

Good day to you. I am an outdoor grower looking for sound advice for my future grows. I have been growing outdoors in my organic garden for 3-years now. Most fem strains are doing well delivering great yields and what I consider reasonably high THC amounts. This is in consideration of liver synthesis vs. lung. I grow to make edibles not to smoke. Although I don't have a benchmark, I'm assuming that my autoflower strains (1st try this season) did well. I live in growing zone 6, grow in 15 gallon containers, make my own soil, and feed with Dr. Jim'z Chicken Soup for the soil. My sun, rain, wind, and heat environment is exceptional. I grow among my sun flowers, pole beans and other veggies that cycle through the growing area. I don't use any growing techniques other than mother nature.

Any insight will be appreciated...

what is your question?

You and I sound very similar in regard to growing organic. I'm in Southern California and began growing weed again about 10 years ago. When I re-started after a 20 year hiatus I did a great deal of research and dove headfirst into buying all of the whizbang nutrients and high end packaged soils and for a number of years I found myself often overcooking my soil and chasing PH constantantly and had some less than desired harvests. When I grew back in the late 70's early 80's it was so simple. I would dig a hole, put a fish in it, cover it with backyard dirt, plant a seed and water. So, about 6 years ago I decided to go back to my roots (bad pun) and began creating my own soils and growing in 30 gallon cloth bags on my balcony. I started a worm bin and with that and natural compost I make I have ended up with a very balanced organic living soil. My resulting grows improved greatly but unfortunately also began to attract many more moths and thus far more bud worm damage. I have now overcome that problem by building screen houses with PVC pipe and mosquito netting. Keep up what you're doing and best of luck to you.
