I already have a greens garden going,  consisting of Chard, Garlic, Lettuce, Kale, Cilantro, etc,  and I have about 30 pepper plants inside.

I also have a bunch of herbs inside too,  as well as a bunch of beans, peas,  more cilantro,  parsley,  and only God knows what else, haha!

I still have several hundred more seeds to start, but right now I'm out of room and grow lights!

Anyway,  I can't wait to see your garden,  and I'll post some pics of all my stuff very soon

This was my little garden plot a couple of summers ago. It's been fallow for about 2 years now and needs a little TCL before planting again.

Yeah, I wish I had access to sand. I’m in the city.
They’re still looking OK that picture is a little old but they’re starting to definitely get a little stunted. A dark green and they are getting plenty of light. They want to get out of there.

Sand isn't needed really,  I just use it for the hell of it.

Yours actually look great,  and they will be fine for awhile just the way you have them

To compensate for the soils moisture retention. I’ve only been spraying them daily.
That seems to be doing them right. There is a ton of DE on top of mine as well. I’m glad I’m not the only one who had to do that.

When and what type of fertilizer do you give them?

So obviously, we’re all here to learn how to make better cannabis. What else are we growing?

Personally, I’m trying to cultivate mushrooms.
I’m cultivating some “succulents”

What about you?
What’s in the garden?

Right now, nothing much.

I have some Kactus Kate T. Bridgesii cuttings that I've been growing out over the last couple of years. They're overwintering in the garage and probably won't come out until late April or early May. I'll probably take some cuttings once they get up and running again, They're getting a little top-heavy.

I'm hoping to upgrade my bucket garden to have some stands for my buckets, and a runoff collection system to conserve as much water as possible while I grow my veggies. I'm probably going to go with mostly numex chiles in the buckets, just because they're better-adapted to setting fruit at higher temps.

In my lower garden plot, I'm going to try a companion planting of Corn, pole beans, and some variety of squash (referred to as The Three Sisters). It's advertised that the corn provides a natural pole for the beans to climb, the beans fix nitrogen that the corn can use to be more productive, and squash covers the ground between the mounds of corn/beans, shading out weeds and holding moisture down near the surface.

I'm going to try and stagger planting different sections every 1-2 weeks to keep the harvest spread out a little over the season. As the crops finish up, I'll clear cut and the plant something like hairy vetch or Fava beans in the refuse as a ground cover. My hope is to get as far into the composting process as possible, with the cover crops fixing nitrogen and creating a humid microclimate around the crop refuse, before winter sets in and I have to shut down the irrigation system.

We'll see how far I get on this. I always have big plans in early spring, and end up trimming scope as work and life get in the way. Worst case, I'll get a few ears of corn and maybe a bucket of fresh beans to eat on for a few weeks.

He looks very potent

Those 2 seedlings are from the seeds off of my plant from this last season. I'm SUPER excited to see what the flavor profile is going to be like

Those are Peyote cacti.
I’ve been procrastinating transplanting them out of that soil. It’s definitely not ideal. I have Akadama clay pellets. But I’m not sure what to use as filler.
I noticed yours has a nice mixture with some sand.

Could you recommend a good mixture for Peyote soil?
You have a lush garden.
I’m about to transplant my marijuana outside.
It’s about spring time for some reason. I don’t think there’s gonna be a cold snap. Knock on wood.

Right on!

And yes,  I knew that they were peyote, Lophophora Williamsii, but I just call them Lophs for short, hehe 

But yes,  I would transplant yours asap! Lophophora likes more of an inorganic mix,  or the roots may rot.

That top dressing on mine is actually diatomaceous earth.  However,  I use a mixture of coarse sand,  perlite,  potting soil, and sand with small rocks mixed in it from the creek. to do my mixes.

As for my cannabis,  those two little guys are clones that I'll put out this spring,  and the one that I'm flowering now was a mother,  but since I have no access to any herbage at all,  I decided to just go ahead flower her. I'm dying here without any smoke,  and if I don't grow my own, I can't smoke,  period.

I also got a grip of auto seeds to throw out,  but since I'm in zone 7B I'll have to wait until April,  sadly 

It's 65 here right now,  but I wont let that fool me. I know that it will be freezing cold before it's all over with again
