I finally got them in the garden! It was a trip getting out there, so they don't look the greatest because they're stressed.
I broadforked the bed because I have very hard clay soil and put down Ocean Forest potting soil. I have some wire support hoops for the AG19 row cover I'm going to be using for the transition. It's lightweight and breathable but it will cut down on some of the sun so they don't burn and it will also keep them warmer at night since it's still pretty cool.
And please disregard my comment about the Chamomile and Nitrogen... Chamomile sequesters Calcium, Potassium and Sulfur, not Nitrogen😜. Clover sequesters Nitrogen.
I added about 5-10% Biochar in with the Fox farm potting soil which is an excellent source of carbon and helps retain soil moisture. I added some lime to stabilize ph and try to deter lockout which I had last year. I also added mycorrhizal inoculant for root health, it helps to reduce stress in plants and helps them to uptake more sugars which is exactly what we want.
So jealous of your garden. Good idea to cover them up at night with the greenhouse plastic to keep them warm. By the way, how does your grandma handle the THC? I am trying to get my mom to vape some CBD weed for her arthritis and general inflammation but she's scared to get high. She's very prejudiced. I might try to sneak some cannabutter inside her food lol
@Fibro_Witch, Yea I was joking I will keep insisting and eventually I'm sure she will try it. And you are right times are changing but I live in Spain so here it's not so much a "war on drugs" issue it's more of a "weed makes you dumb and lazy" thing 😂.
@@@Lucimago, Haha, my grandma is the other way around. She has no aversion to THC. But, she does like the 1:1's better than the higher THC strains. I think she feels like as she gets older she doesn't handle the THC as well and it puts her out whereas with the 1:1 she can still function and it just chills her out.
As for your Mom, just be up front with her. Give her the facts about CBD. I used to be prejudiced too (because high THC strains make me go bonkers, total paranoia, and I had a really bad experience once that put me off it for like 10 years) but then I found what works for me. The cannabis world is making a huge 180 compared to the days of Reagan and the "War on Drugs". I'm sure your Mom will come around eventually, Cannabis is here to help😉
@@Lucimago, Thanks! I've converted her to 1:1 CBD strains. I gave her some the the Blue Shark I grew last year for xmas and she loves it! She's on several meds that make her nauseous, and she loves that she can have a smoke and still function.
