My third ear

It’s not too late to germinate pot seeds and get a full season’s growth out of your plants. I’ve been germinating seeds for 4 weeks now. Only a few at a time…as it is convenient for me. The 1st seeds I germinated were Sativa dominant because they take longer in the growth stage than Indicas. The first sprouts that popped up are now transplanted into larger containers. I water them throughly every other day. I have put one large coffee cup-full of plain white sugar into the 5 gallon water bucket and stirred it in. Next week I will begin to give the plants some nitrogen-heavy fertilizer, but it’ll be diluted down. Lots of real sunlight is what they need. The night time low temps are consistently above 40˚F and the days are warming up and are sunny. I worry about a hard rain fall, hail, and strong winds.

It is nice (I am finding out) to have a simple structure to grow under. I can tent-up with tarps to stave off the difficult weather situations. Also I plan to use tarps to create a “dark room” in which to sex these plants. I’ll write more on how to force your plants to show their sex in another article, later.

After the seed germinates, I’ll up-pot it into a larger (mid-size) container that I can leave it in until after it shows its sex. Then the females get up-potted into their final size containers. Most years I’ll keep one nice male of known genetics to use later to make seeds for next year. In my book, “Growing Marijuana Outdoors in Colorado”, I suggested that it was okay to germinate pot seeds in March or April. Well, if you are doing this mostly outdoors, I should say to wait until late April through the first week of June to do this. If you have a basement or a back room or garage to work in, then you can safely begin germinating seeds from mid March on. On the front range of Colorado, it is best to wait until early May, Mothers Day. I usually jump the gun and start a little bit early. The thinking is to try  to get more vegetative growth on your plants. However, I still maintain that the most important 2 months are the last  two, September and October. During the hot, sunny days of June, July and August, they’ll get plenty big and bushy.
More to the point, if you’re looking to have sex for a longer period of time, then there is big possibility that they stop working, and you need to switch between few of them. buy viagra for cheap When Vata gets imbalanced it imbalances its 5 subtypes (Vyana, Udana, Samana, Prana, Apaana ). viagra prices Neck injuries pill viagra for sale may also occurs while playing sports.

As far as fertilizer goes…if you are using good soil, fertilizer becomes less important. Your plants do like a little sugar and also a little beer, but don’t go over board on this. Don’t  use diet soda or 3.2 beer. Real soda pop has sugars in it and, heck, it’s a liquid. Also, don’t put raw alcohol or real strong alcohol on your plants. Last night’s leftover beer works just fine. Also, don’t smoke around your plants, either tobacco or pot. The advantage of growing outside is the clean, fresh air and the strong Colorado sunlight.

As I’ve written many times, do not try to use this Colorado clay. Use good store bought mid- priced soil. This season, I’m using last years soil, mixed with my own compost. Being the cheap-skate that I am, I’m trying to not spend any money this season. Also, liquid household ammonia is nitrogen and can be mixed into your 5 gallon bucket of de-chlorinated water. A little goes a long way…a quick 3-count pour. Not a full-on pour, just a steady dribble with a quick count to three. A little goes a long way… too much will burn the plants roots. Growing pot outdoors is not rocket science. This is a weed. Good soil, enough fresh water and lots of free Colorado sunshine are the main ingredients. I use fertilizer more to steer the plants. I use commercial fertilizer…24-8-16 and 20-20-20 for vegetative growth and  to bloom them I’ll use anything with a high middle number, such as 0-8-0 or 8-58-8 or 4-18-8.  These are the N-P-K numbers. High nitrogen is used while the plants are growing leaves and twigs. Ammonia is a nitrogen. Blooming fertilizers usually have a very high P or phosphate number. Bone meal is a powdered phosphate fertilizer. This phosphorus promotes blooming and big buds. It’ll be called a bloom booster fertilizer on the label. All these commercial fertilizers are salt based so I dilute them. I’ve eaten plenty of tomatoes grown in commercial fertilizer and have smoke lots of pot grown in commercial fertilizer. Nothing wrong with me, unless that 3rd ear on the side of my head bothers you.
