Devv-2018-Loving life in the dirt

Here we go again! ;)
 
This year will be a mix of in the dirt and container growing. Mostly in the dirt. I have some OW's going, 5 are cut back, 6 are pubes that still spend time outdoors as the weather allows. I have pH issues in the dirt, working on that, and hoping for some better results this season. One thing the wife and I decided is to NOT grow into the fall again. I was pulling plants the same weekend I started my seeds. I'm using 4 2 bulb T8's with 6,500K bulbs, and 1 4 bulb T5 with I believe 6,500K bulbs.
 
So here's the list:

That is a lot of plants!
Great looking garden! You are going to have your hands full for the next 2-3 months. Enjoy it.
 
Thanks!
 
It's been a colder than average winter here, two years in a row. I'm hoping this spring lasts more then a few weeks this  year.
 
Regardless I'll enjoy it ;)

Scott, your place looks just great. Beautiful
plants and well-designed spaces.  A grow to behold!
 
The PdN cross sure stands out in the crowd!
 

Thanks Paul!
 
The forecast should hold until Thursday evening.
 
I had a few extras of the PDN cross, they sure did impress the recipients ;)
 
Thanks again for the seeds!
 
Plant went back in the shop Thursday afternoon. A cold front blew in Friday and it never broke 40° yesterday. This time of the year any time it breaks 50° I have them outside.

A few of the good guys came in with the plants. We have lots of Cellar spiders (Daddy Long Legs) in the shop; I often see them working the plants too.

Lone Reaper is growing like crazy. I've never started this early before; the goal is to have lots of flowers come dirt day.

I moved some of the larger plants from the grow room in the shop into the shop itself. Mainly because the Southern Hemi GD Aji Cito is getting hard to move about.

Just one of the old MoA seeds came up, it took forever and so tiny!
I would say any germination issues this season would be my fault. I just stick em in the coir mix and let them go. The room stays between 70-80°. Kinda like if you want to live go for it...LOL

Which is why my GD entries took so long to germ..

I finally got a JA Hab to pop!

Everything looks good, Scott. I hope you have a
successful plant-out when the time comes!
 

Thanks Paul!
 
I'm hoping for a nice ramp up temp wise come spring. If that's not the case, I have some nice large plants to get at least a round one pod production out of.
 
Keeping them all summer is hard.

Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for all the seeds last year, Soctt. 
 
Got a couple trays going with what you sent to help the farm out last year.
 
Still getting great germ rates on stuff!

Glad they're working out Trent!
 
I looking forward to seeing you have a great season ;)
