Hopefully they live! This is 5 Black Widows. I don't know how it'll grow outside here but we'll find out soon enough.
The bed is approximately 8x8. I amended it heavily with compost and used coffee grounds. Someday soon, my cover crop will grow up out of the straw and then it'll be really pretty.
The greenhouse is an 8x10 model. It locks, but in reality anybody that wants to get in there probably will. I made some modifications to account for air flow, it gets hot as fuck here in August.
I still have to irrigate. Right now I'm watering with the hose and that sucks, outside cannabis is a thirsty bitch. I have my blumats still but I'm planning on running a drip system like I am for my vegetables.
At any rate, I think October is going to be a good month for me!
Oh man, beautiful slice there. I just got my spring starters going myself (vegetables, can’t really grow outside here), but they won’t be in the soil for another 6 weeks.
How tall is the greenhouse? Seems like you’re gonna have some right monsters with 2.5 months of flowering. But that’s the beauty of trying and figuring it out I guess eh?
What’s the cover crop?
Do you do municipal tap water? Or do you collect runoff? Maybe future plan when settled more?
It's 7 and a half feet high. I think I might overgrow this space.
I actually buy a cover crop seeds blend from CannaCrop or CannaCover or something. It's like 9 different species of clover, plus cow peas and some other legumes.
I am using municipal tap which isn't ideal, but my city wins awards for water quality so I won't complain too much. I'd like to start capturing rain water, but there is a LOT to do out here so it's not a priority... yet
If you can scavenge some barrels without tops, you can fill them and let them sit in the sun to dechlorinate the water
