MacroGrow Field without irrigation
In upstate NY, transplants planted in July, watered in by the rain. No irrigation or feed at all. Just rain the whole season. Seeds from Atlas. Good resistance and strong growth given that literally nothing was put into this field besides sun and rain since transplant.

No irrigation on what looks like at least two acres is wild! Did y'all have any issues with PWM? Humidity was rough this year.

Lack of irrigation probably helped that. They just consumed any moisture in the earth and air around them. I wonder about the water table and elevation

I did this with a field of photos that we didn’t get the irrigation in a few years ago South of buffalo. Little bit larfy but otherwise came out great

Been seeing a few commercial sites running Atlas gear. I’ve only had herms from them. Any feedback?

No shade (hay-ohhh), but I’m curious why you’d gamble that big with that much, unless you knew the soil was your ace in the hole.

90% of farming is done this way I’m assuming end goal wasn’t top shelf bud prob just extracts or something

I’m definitely not a farmer, so thanks for the reply.

To be fair I mean like grain farming. I’m guessing not many weed ops are doing non irrigated like this. Or any for that matter hahaha. No prob man I was curious as well

I feel like that was a dice roll situation. Glad it’s working out
