Huge success Dale,

Those plants look wonderful. I wish I could bottle up some of that Florida Sun,

Good luck with your up-coming sales....no need to wish you luck on the grow.....you don't need it, the plants look great!

Thanks boss! :) It takes a little getting used to and to get dialed in just right but we think we can grow these things!! :) LOL
 
I'm just a little blown away! That's full-blown agriculture!
Here's to lots of sales! The stock looks great - lush and
heathy!
 
Are there enough seeds in North America for you to do that :cool: ?
 
did you type that right? T-scorp chocolate? that is sweet, someone posted about these a few days ago, I never knew they even had them if that is what you are growing. I'll have to get my hands on some seeds at some point, they just look really cool...

besides that.. I want to be in FL! hah, looks awesome, that is a lot of potting

YUP :) Trinidad Scorpion Chocolate :)
 
That is an awesome operation! Wish there was someone in houston who would do the same and i would visit them every weekend to check it out :D

How long does it take to pot all those up, and what is you watering schedule like? Are they done by hand or some uber cool machine? Great work!
 
Definately jumping on this ride bro!! Can't wait to see the choc TS pods. Will have to get some asap lol. Good luck with though cause thats a huge patch you got there but you obvisously know what your doing. Peace and Good Fortune :flamethrower:
 
everything seems to be on schedule Dale...plants look very healthy...

and if I haven't said it before, I would give my right nut to have an operation like yours....man, you are blessed...
 
Dale,
photo #6 is one hell of a shot!, I like the leaves fanning out and bathing in the light

Thanks for the compliment :) To answer your question....it takes a full day to pot up 300 into 3 gallon pots :) As far as watering goes, right now we overhead irrigate with sprinklers, working on a pressurized fertigation dripper system as we speak. Going to change from over head to that :) Each plant will have a line to it with nutrients and water :)

What are the "nutrients"? And one thing that has crossed my mind with "fertigation" is the type of nozzle you would use in order to avoid blockage with the bits of nutrient that might get into the system. Or would you use a filter?

Looks great.

if you don't have a filter, you will definitely clog up the system....and even with a filter, your drippers/sprayers or what ever nozzle system you use, even drip line will eventually clog up...fertilize is a corrosive compound because of the galvonic characteristics it exhibits...my system is two years old now and any metal in the system...mostly on my connections have corroded pretty badly...this spring it is going to get an overhaul...I fertigate about ~300 in 5 gallon containers...
 
well be sure to post up when you get those chocolate TS pods! lol :hot:

edit: actually I won't be able to wait that long lol, let me know when you get your site back up, I want to make sure I get some of those plants when they are ready to sell! :lol:
