Its just about that time again

I started out with big expectations this year but as the season draws closer the scale of my grow gets smaller and smaller due to time restraints. I'll probably be doing about 20 plants of various strains over the year. The only two I know is skunk#1 and purple power plant, other than that just really good seeds from some really good bud. Just a little tip that I'm sure you all already know is to put some black plastic over your grow area, It will help to bring the ground temp. up so can work your soil and plant your crop a little sooner. Depending on your area you may want to remove the plastic after a while so when the sun is blazin' you don't cook your roots and shit. It also helps to kill shit in the soil and keep weeds down early. Best of luck this year every body, goddess knows I'll need it.:greenthumb:

Gate-ive been doing that latley, except im ''birdwatching'' haha

Redeyed-thanks for the tips, i deff need to do something about lowering the ground temps. it gets pretty hot here in texas durning summer....and basically anytime that isint winter

Just wondering - have you tried Neem or any other type of repellent to help keep the grasshoppers in check? I am familiar with the abundent and agressive grasshoppers in TX. We used to walk through the weeds there and grab them up for bass bait.

good luck this yr

im not sure if neem oil would repel the grasshopers. when i went to the hydro store the guy working said i couldnt really do anything about the grasshoppers, just kill them as i see them. But i do plan on using neemoil to keep other critters in check, ill also be getting some lady bugs for the extra security. Are you in texas unclebob?

Hi,
Best of luck keeping those hoppers under control. No I am not in TX. A few years back a friend had a ranch down in Medina county about 3-4 hrs south of Dallas. I spent a few vaca's down there. Great area. I am in the Southeast now. Without being too specific, I am in central eastern AL.

good luck

bob

Later this week, in the SE, last you will see of cold. :)

yup, looks like my tx weather is only going to get warmer from here on out. Just got one plant out the other night and its looking good so far.

still in the dreaming stages here in New England. I hope to have clones and/or seedlings to put in the ground around June 1 and about six weeks after that. Plenty of seed, not enough secure spots.

Shov

how do you go about finding a good spot shov.? what i do is get my nerd gear on(hiker/birdwatcher appeal), smoke, and just explore the great outdoors......i love being outside. Google earth helps a bunch also

I hear what your screamin' Shovelhandle! This weather sux ass. Last year at this time I was already planting a couple of healthy seedlings early, this year no such luck. Now I'm watching the news and we are going to be getting a nor'easter, what the hell it's April!
