yeah tell me about it..... except its about 4 feet of snow here lol

i think about 4/20 is a good date to start turning some soil around here with seedlings in the ground about 5/10 or so depending on how bad our winter is this year....

so far planning a guerilla grow of mostly autoflowering strains due to our short season way up here.... Me and my brother also plan to drop some bagseeds in the ground for kicks along with some g13 labs freebies we will be recieving.....

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

yes actually just last year. they spent april 20th to mid may doing nothing. i think it was because i had them under a 24 hour light schedule. this time they will have the same schedule as the sun does.

That may be right, but the ground is still pretty cold and will slow down the plant's growth if the plant isn't old enough, big enough to handle the shock.

i think all outdoor growers should do this. i put out all sexed clones. about half-1 foot tall. they survive everytime, unless animals are involved. they many grow slow at first, but come mid may, they are well established.

ive been working on my plot. i am making a raised 4x4 bed and here is a pic of the start of it. its very seculed there and a slough is almost completely around it. i picked this spot out after watching it all last season, had direct sun light the whole time. now its gunna be work humping in good soil and water, but I AM ON A MISSION.

Thanks Illegal seed for the light schedule experience; explains some of the holdup i had with my indoor to outdoor plantings.

'Mate's wives disease' is a killer Aussie Grow; we had an outbreak here. lol In a pot so moved them to public land; where they were stolen.

Will watch you guys with interest, your a great source of knowledge. best wishes nigel

Ok, I need some clarification. Are you saying YES you had problems with re-vegging?

Peace- OD

Trying to pop some sunflower seeds now for two reasons.

1) Having an abundant amount of sunflowers growing in my yard will outwit nosey neighbors and offer a sanctuary of stealth for containers I can use latter on to stratigically place at needed vantige points around my yard to obscure views which might reveal my real intentions. I can and will create a wall of sunflowers to mask my activities,

2) I germinate sunflowers the same way I do my beens and it offers cheap practice at dialing in your germination techniques. This year will be useing medical cheesecloth guase dressing to sandwich seeds for germination useing the plate method on a heating pad. I need to tweek this method with spring flower seeds ahead of time to establish cover plants in my yard,

Here is a shot of what I mean, notice how difficult it is to see the marijuana plant in this picture when it is surrounded by these other plants.
