Hopefully they live! This is 5 Black Widows. I don’t know how it’ll grow outside here but we’ll find out soon enough.

The bed is approximately 8x8. I amended it heavily with compost and used coffee grounds. Someday soon, my cover crop will grow up out of the straw and then it’ll be really pretty.

The greenhouse is an 8x10 model. It locks, but in reality anybody that wants to get in there probably will. I made some modifications to account for air flow, it gets hot as fuck here in August.

I still have to irrigate. Right now I’m watering with the hose and that sucks, outside cannabis is a thirsty bitch. I have my blumats still but I’m planning on running a drip system like I am for my vegetables.

At any rate, I think October is going to be a good month for me!

    the first time you get high on your own supply is the best feeling in the world.

    Definitely a very satisfying and proud moment in a grower’s journey.

    Like I’m “supposed” to be doing it.

    I definitely understand that. I’d say that’s a sign you care deeply about your plants, and that’s always a good thing. People get caught up chasing fads or whatever and never bother to make the hobby “theirs” if that makes sense. Putting plants in your own dirt makes it that much more personal, especially if growing is already a passion of yours.

    I am super worried about pests and weather though

    That comes with the territory. Knowing what’s common in your area, as you likely do from your other grows, goes a long way towards being preventative rather than reactionary. It’s much easier to deal with an outbreak than an infestation lol.
