    Are we talking about the sun or indoor lights and if so what kind?

    I got curious about the seed that hasn't popped up yet so I gently dug around to investigate. After moving just a little soil I found a seed with a tail spiraling around in a half circle that I could see. It was nice and white so I gently covered it back. I think I may find it sprouted above...

    I picked up the sod tip from you earlier and I did just what you are experimenting with. Place sod back on top of hole and it just blends right in. I think it will help with water retention and microbe activity since this layer has the richest amount of organic matter.

    I moved the 5 fem AK girls to the holding patch, copying Larry's style. I dug and ammended 2 more holes. These may be the best holes yet. I have found that something is going to come and investigate and dig around in freshly ammended holes. Best to let it sit for a week or two. I think you are...

    Rodger dodger. I feel strongly both ways on the organics and pesticides. I have bought some neem oil. Gonna give it a try. I don't want to smoke something harmful, but I do want to have something to smoke! There's a reason these non organic things exist. They flat out work. You have to be pretty...

    I swung by to check on the little seedlings in the woods and oh shit have they grown! The growth spurt i have been waiting for. No camera this time. Ill get a picture next trip. One of them is dead, something ate it. It was one of the two I put in the ground without a cage. I expect some losses...

    Adding nutes to the ones still in pots that is. The ones in the ground are on their own for a spell till I can get a feel for how they respond. On the fresh batch of seeds I'll leave the nutes alone till about this point in their life if all goes well.

    No nutrients in the soil. I started them in some seed starting mix, mostly peat it looked like. Great germination rate. They did have trouble shedding the hulls after sprouting. I burried this last batch a little deeper in hopes they'll kick the hull off. I'll add 1/4 strength nutes as...

    My plants are 10 days old. Meaning 10 days since they broke the surface. There are only 2 true leaves on each plant. They have been in full sun, low to mid 70° temps during the day, about half of those days have been rather cloudy. They have a nice green color. Only plain water, no nutrients...

    how much ass will I need to move 100 gal pot

    I agree with thumper. At a minimum someone will walk the entire perimeter of the property marking the harvest boundary. There will likely be several foresters from different companies visit the property to estimate the timber value. This is done by taking samples at random points. This is likely...

    I forgot to bring shit for bugs. I intended to spread out some leftover yard stuff. Are these granules a good or bad idea.

    10-4. I did that and tried to capture morning sun over evening sun if I had to choose one or the other. Figured that would dry the dew off the plants ASAP. I should have full sun from 9:00 till 3:00 at a minimum. I realize these natural openings are there probably because of poor soil so I tried...

    I started the last 10 seeds last night. I got up this morning and moved the first 10 out into the bush. My rugrats and their little cousins are going to hunt eggs tomorrow. I went ahead and stuck 6 in the ground and left 4 in pots. Figured wtf. Here is a couple hidey hole shots. These were...

    I think it can stand another day without watering. When I do water, it should be thorough till it drans a little correct?

    All 10 are still aliveplus 5 tomato plants. I wouldn't call their growth vigorous but maybe there is lots going on under the soil right now. I'll try to get some pics uploaded tonight. I have them in a wagon that I can roll into the shop at night to protect from frost. Saturday I decided they...
