Hopefully they live! This is 5 Black Widows. I don’t know how it’ll grow outside here but we’ll find out soon enough.

The bed is approximately 8x8. I amended it heavily with compost and used coffee grounds. Someday soon, my cover crop will grow up out of the straw and then it’ll be really pretty.

The greenhouse is an 8x10 model. It locks, but in reality anybody that wants to get in there probably will. I made some modifications to account for air flow, it gets hot as fuck here in August.

I still have to irrigate. Right now I’m watering with the hose and that sucks, outside cannabis is a thirsty removed. I have my blumats still but I’m planning on running a drip system like I am for my vegetables.

At any rate, I think October is going to be a good month for me!

    It’s a very empowering feeling, probably more than it should be.

    Gardening/cultivating anything is very rewarding imo but even moreso when the things you grow do more than just fill your belly.

    The flip side is that you suddenly care a great deal more about pests and the weather lol.

      Why the flip side? That is also a win, you stop living like a robot in an “automated world” and start paying attention to nature like you should. It brings you closer to really being alive and you don’t worry too much about stuff like dying, which is inevitable. Life becomes 100% more enjoyable when you worry about real problems and not made up ones!
