Swordfish... how many plants will you put in the raised bed!

That's gonna be a good spot and I like the idea of burying the pots too!

You were gonna PM me a link I hoped?

It`s snowing and blowing the lake machine is going strong it`s snowing so hard I cant even see the road
from the house about 35 yards . spring cant come quick enough !
I ordered my seed line up for the year and I got all feminised seeds this year.
10 White widow
10 big bud
10 super silver haze
10 himilayan gold
last year I started everything Jan 21st in the aero Garden this year I think I`m going to just stick to the paper
towel method " just easier " planting in march
I`m thinking I got started a little to early last year and since I have all feminised seeds I should`nt have
to worrie about finding males this year .I`m trying to be patient ! but I just cant waite to get into the dirt with
my seedlings~~~~~ anticipating a good grow for the year providing I can keep all the scumbag rippers away.
well I`m looking forward to sharing my experiences with others and seing what is happening with
everybody`s Grow
peace & good growing to all for the 09 season

Yer plans sound great SB...
I've tried growing WW outdoors here at least twice and I just don't have enough heat to make it a success here. Only got an ounce off a plant in a 5 gallon bucket.

If you're planning on setting out plants that have started inside I'd recommend that you wait until late April to go outdoors with them.
Assuming you want to avoid a re-vegging scene from putting them
out too early.

Out too early, the light will put them right into flower mode and then
as the days lengthen into summer they will go back into veg mode.

That is not a good thing as most people, who've dealt with it, will
tell you.
I love that people are focused early...

It's too early to plant and for many too early to prepare soil but
it's not too early to find the right spot. If the spot is getting full
sun now then you will be in great shape during late flowering this
fall.

Greetings. Hoping for good luck outdoors this year. Last year found me stuck with the botrytis blues in a bad way. So think an early finishing strain is what I need. Something that finishes before the rains hit the great NW. Any suggestions?

This was my problem for years Healingnation....

Good strain for outdoors is AK-47... very mold resistant and
a good finisher.

Bubblegum was also a hit in my environment...

Good luck growin' in that place. (PNW) That's my neck of the woods.

last year ive had 10 monsters taken from me. way premature as well. monsters as in 7 feet tall, 6-7 feet wide. it made me build a 600 watt indoor room. im currently smoking my harvest, seen this thread, and dammit, im doing it again. come and freaking get emm boys. their will be to damn many to even fit in your truck this time. i belive i will take some clones from my afghan kush, blue cheese, trainwreck, and blueberry, and plant them april 20th. hehe, thats my planting day, rain or shine. i miss outside. nothing like cooling off under the shade of your own trees. cant wait.

Good on you IS... I can feel your outdoor juices running.

Have you put clones out on 4/20 in the past? Have you had any problems with revegging?

Above pic is just a peek of a garden I was looking after while they were on holidays, long story cut real short, mates wife freaked at the size and ordered him too chop them down, so yes people, too much of a good thing isn't always good.

p.s I'm 6' and the lattice is up to my hip for a bit of perspective, oh and not to mention its a long time until Autumn, one Aussie that cried that day.

ive been planning this next summers grow for a while now. I was getting antsy to start so i i made a worm bin and im collecting all of the castings/compost to fertilize with. I think ill have enough that i wont have to buy any nutes this year. I also just cleared out a nice sunny spot in the woods by the river to build a greenhouse. i just had plants in buckets this last summer and that worked really well but i want to find a way to extend my growing season so i can mess around with different strains.

Spring seems like a long ways away with over three feet of snow and -20 this morning
