Week 7 and seedlings are starting to get bushy. They are outside in screened area until beginning of May. We have not seen the sun... But apparently the grey glare from the rain clouds was enough to magnify a few dozen water drops I got accidently got on a few leaves that resulted in a few brown burnt spots which you can see in the picture. I usually water in the evening as the sun is going down just as long as the humidity isn't too high. Its really important that when the sun is out the leaves are dry. That will teach me to change my routine because it's hard to get motivated later in the day with all the mud and rain.

So how did it go? I'm curious

I'd love to grow in a greenhouse, especially in the Emerald Triangle! I assume there's a 2,000 sf maximum size that you're up against? I recently designed a geothermal heating system for a house in New England that includes a beautiful attached greenhouse. Do you have to use supplemental heat at night?As a hydrogeologist I have an interest in springs, and am surprised to see your pH varies (not much) over the course of a year. Do you think the pH fluctuations may be mostly due to temperature? It would be interesting to see how temperature and pH vary over the year.I'll enjoy reading about your grow.

@OldCoolSativa, And no additional heating required. We are only a few miles as the crow flies from the ocean up in the hills above fog. Beautiful temperate climate usually. We don't hard freeze in winter. :) In November when 3rd run of clones is still finishing we get chilly at night. It turns the purple strains DARK purple.

@OldCoolSativa, I kept the grow at 1999 sq' cause 2000 sq' triggers California State Water Board which is another permit, more fees and inspections. The state is also setting up for commercial cultivation permits in 2018. It looks like their "family farm" tier will be 2500 sq' or less.1999sq' is also all I can handle by myself and still enjoy my life. Anything bigger and I have to rely on regular help and that is a pain and gets expensive. I think the water PH fluctuates as the pressure of the ground water changes seasonally. When there is more water early in the spring more fine clay and sand particles end up in the water.

Wow if all goes to plan how much will you get?

@BigDaddyK, Lol... That's almost as personal as asking what size bra a woman wears! Indirect answer... Quite a bit. :) Conservative average 3-5# per full season plant and I pack the greenhouse with them. I also will be running autos May-July and refilling with clones in October. So I pull 3 times and not a single tarp! I stay busy!

Wow I could only dream of that square footage, and thank God for the California Sun isn't it a wonderful thing

I like the copper wire trick to keep the slugs at bay; it's harmonious with your organic grow. I think copper can also help control mold...my neighbor lined the ridge of his roof with copper and the small amount of copper that would wash over the roof kept his cedar shingles from turning black with mold. Can't wait to see pics of buds doing their thing in the California sun!

I can't wait to see the California sun! We are having all time record rain fall this year. We really haven't had many days since end of September that it hasn't been raining. These little plants def have had a hard start. It will be interesting to see what they do when the bright light in the sky comes out! Hard to believe these lil sprouts will be over 14' tall when they are done! Looking forward to many months in the greenhouse to come!
