"It takes brains and balls to succeed in life. Some have way too much of one and not enough of the other!"

You know, it's a funny thing. Some of my friends have accused me of this... lol

Hey well as for the documentation, that's the main point. I'm glad SOMEONE appreciates it...

On the record:

I'm a little miffed at one of the people who gave 'thumbs down' on this thread after all the work I'm putting into making it clear and educational... give me a bad 'review', at least have the courage to say it to my FACE. This site is about learning and criticism should be CONSTRUCTIVE, not negativity for its own sake. I'm sorry that the relationships forum doesn't exist any more... but there's gotta be a better home for ya than my damn grow log.

Anyway, back to the show. Here's the new Vermont kids in their new homes. You can't see them yet... they haven't emerged in this pic, but it shows my seedling starting setup. The soil appears very wet because I've just given the seedling mix a heavy watering before letting it rest an hour or so, poking holes, and placing the seeds in it. That mix is appropriate for seedlings, as it is very fine textured and free of added fertilizer.

hey stinky when putting your clones outside are you gonna leave them in pots or put them directly into the ground and are you gonna use the promix outside too and if so, how much bat guano do you think you will add? this is gonna be a very informaive grow log for me as i will try to copy you as best i can. lol

**stinkyattic** · #53 (**permalink**) Mar-05-2008, 15:47

I'm actually still thinking about some of those things myself.

The plan right now is to use compost and vermiculite dug into the ground where I intend to plant, and add a bit of bat guano while I'm at it. I'll put the plants directly in the ground, and if they are in jiffy pots, I'll get the pots good and wet and poke them full of holes first.

I PROMISE there are better outdoor growers to copy than myself; this is my first serious outdoor attempt... lol! I know how to grow good hot peppers though... pot can't be TOO hard!

You DO realize that New England produces among the best weed in the world, right? We've been spoiled rotten since the time of the early Skunks... then the Chems came along... May I venture to say that NE growers and breeders have always represented us VERY well?

headydankness · #57 (**permalink**) Mar-06-2008, 15:20

Yes i do, and I'm pleased by it each time i smoke. But i just wanted to say that it gives me a nice feeling inside to see the people working hard to grow marijuana in VT.

Hey stinky nice grow log! I was curious why you chose not to use Advanced nutrients when you stated that it was designed speciffically to be used with promix? I had never heard that before but it makes sense because that's what a friend of mines grows with, promix and sunshine #4 also. And it's some real good shit, both indoor and outdoor. Anyways keep up the good work

**stinkyattic** · #59 (**permalink**) Mar-07-2008, 06:20

Good question on the AN; I had a CRAPLOAD of old fertilizer (Cornucopia, PowerPlant/PowerFlower, and others) laying around, and since I'm not pressed for time here (it IS only March after all), I'm not really going after that super aggressive feeding schedule on these plants...

That being said, I've got other stuff going, and as soon as I can afford to buy the entire 'kit'- which I can get for around $400- I'll be making the switch. I just don't have the cash right now to spend much on my own needs, let alone plant food, lol! Gotta love the price of heating fuel... Thanks, Cheney Cartel!

Assholes.
Give me a month and see where I'm at after my tax return comes back. By then I will be ready to do a proper single-strain SOG in ProMix and actually be able to use the AN line the way it was intended.

Great log so far, Stinky! The two posts detailing your cloning methods should be a sticky all to themselves. Dunno why anyone would give you a thumbs-down on this thread, though. I threw in a thumbs-up a few days ago, and I'm sure there'll be plenty more to come.

Looking forward to seeing how things go for ya outdoors!

sublime27 · #61 (**permalink**) Mar-07-2008, 22:22

Looks great stinky!

Thanks for putting your posts in such detail, very easy to understand.

redeyed · #62 (**permalink**) Mar-08-2008, 08:20

Looking good Stinky, glad to see you are going to do an outdoor grow. Did you ever build the green house you wanted to build last spring, and if so will you be useing it at all for this little venture?

I might toss a couple out early if I find a great spot, or give some to a friend.

Nope, ran out of time last year but this year I've got a more reasonable schedule and will be driving recieving poles for a hoophouse as soon as the ground is soft enough to take them. Did you ever do yours? I remember talking about it. I am personally uncomfortable with the idea of growing in a greenhouse for security reasons but we'll see how I feel about it later in the summer. Nice to see you stop by again!

smok3y · #64 (**permalink**) Mar-08-2008, 15:45

Lookin good dude.. Will be watchin this one out as your previous logs have been good and educational (sp).. Good luck with the rest of your grow..

Hi Stinky. Just to let you know I am a NOOB up in Canada and you are my new Idol! NO WAY should you get a thumbs down. Just been lurking for a while but have my own log here: (hope it is okay to post a link, please remove if it is not) Vancouver Seed Bank :: Cannabis Cultivation, Indoors & Outdoors :: New to growing inside, now VERY confused!!!

Just wanted to tell you I have learned so very much from following your logs. I have done the gange for over 35 yrs and have grown outside for 2, now following your inspiration for inside. Baby steps now, but will follow this closely. AND A BIG BIG THUMBS UP TO THE STINKSTER! Now will try and do that! Keep the faith, fair lady! From a fellow MJ lady, up in the snow country! LOL!

Life,
j-angel

Okay, told you I was a NOOB! Here we go! LOL!
Life,
j-angel

hello stinky i hav'nt been around much,anyway loverly grow girl i like what i see.

**stinkyattic** · #67 (**permalink**) Mar-09-2008, 17:49

All right!
J-angel, welcome to the boards! It's always good to see the ladies repping hard

I don't have any fresh photos to share since nothing much has happened in the last week except a 7 hour power outage (wind storm) and several shorter ones (who the fuck knows), that kicked my timers back over 12 hours (yes yes I know time to go digi) and a flood that sent a major feeder brook of the local stream right through my flower room, living room, and kicthen. I didn't notice the 2 inches of water on the LR floor until I heard some strange splashing noises and realized the dogs were wrestling IN THE WATER in the other room... then walked around back, opened the woodshed door, and let a WATERFALL pour over the sill and into the house... not much going on really...

Trust me, if I'd had my camera battery charged there would be PLENTY to see.

As it is, I can show you a pic of a pile of wet towels and socks... anyone interested?
