  • The Pacific Northwest doesn’t really get tornadoes. It’s a good thing too. Some dude in KY tried to cultivate redwoods because he thought he could get rich selling legally harvested redwood timber. Was going pretty well for about a decade to decade and a half, until the first high wind storm came through. Wasn’t even a full blown tornado. He lost about 40 acres of adolescent redwoods because they don’t grow deep roots, they grow wide. That’s basically why you don’t see them except in a tiny area of Northern California.


  • It’s just fancy/finicky tomatoes, when you get down to it. Lol. The “skill” is owning a moisture and pH meter, and reading the soil/ hydroponic pH a couple times a day. I’ve all but automated the process at this point, at least from clone to bud stages. Getting clones to root, and trimming the buds is basically all I have to monitor any more, but that did take like 3 years of tweaking to setup.

    Oh, and I grow indoors. My grow rooms could easily be used as electronics clean rooms without much modification. I set them up that way to keep out insects. Specifically spider mites. Needless to say, I can also control the temperature, humidity, and lighting of those rooms.
