I've got a few tricks I'd like to share with you.

I'll start at the beginning.......
The first thing that is so important is to have the right strain for your growing area.
For example, I can't grow BubbleGum outside here for it is what I call Halloween plants. Meaning ready only in late october......too late for here, we get frost in early october.

I like to clone using pucks or sprout seeds in them.

I bring the tray out to the bush and plant them in pots to start. The soil recipe for those seedlings is part of the key to making huge plants. You'll transplant into ! gallon pots now with this recipe. Put them in a partially shaded area for a week or so.

Recipe

1 bail of BX Pro-Mix
1 bag of cow manure
1 bag of mushroom compost
1 bag of shrimp compost
3 cups of bone meal
3 cups of blood meal
1 cup of lime

Cost is around 40 bucks.

10-52-10 is what I use to begin with........

Now you have to dig some holes at 2 o'clock in an open area.......not too close to the side. In these holes I put 1 cup of bat guano and 2 shovels of old cow manure from a farm and a shovel or 2 of the soil recipe. Throw in 10 Folic Acid pills (1mg) as well.
Once planted I switch to 20-20-20.
Around the base of the plant I use a combination of peat moss, perilite and coconut fiber. I'l post a pic if you's want! This keeps the plant from drying out and say it's gonna rain.......I sprinkle the dry ferts into that combination and when it rains they slowly get their food.

I either buy nettle of find it growing wild and dry it........then I boil it like tea and let it steep and cool down. Add all of that to the pail of water with the ferts and give it to them. Swamp water is better........but the creek will do fine too.
Forget what the manufacturer says about how much to use.......for every 20 litres of water I put in almost 3/4 of of cup of ferts maybe more. I give 2 handfulls.....mind you I have a small hand~
I like to feed them at least 3 times a week......
Every week I add 20 mg's of folic acid right into the 20 litre pail that has ferts and nettle.
At the first sign of bud I switch to 15-30-15 and get the other guano for bud.
Every 2nd week give each plant about a half a cup of guano mixed into the perilite, peat moss....at the base of the plant. Having a light loom ontop makes it easy to add pills directly into it or add dry ferts before a rain.
I keep my eye on the radar in my area......so I know when the rain is coming.

I may of forgot a few things.....but that's how i make tress 12 feet tall~

Any questions? That was long, but I think I told all!
