Choosing seed and soil, Coastal QLD.

[Mason Verger]

Greatings, 

 

Hope all has had lovely holidays. 

 

SWIM's obviously new to the world of cultivating cannabis and planning to do both indoor and outdoor grows this coming year, using an indoor mother to clone and keep planting and playing until he figures it out.

If one were to consider planting outdoor on the gold coast, QLD, what information, calculations and measuring devices is at ones disposal when choosing a site and testing the soil? What is one looking for? And subsequently, how does one then go on to choose a strain to match the soil conditions?

 

Many thanks!

If you are trying to hide the grow choose your location first and deal with the soil that is there. Mixing in a lot of horse or cow shit helps improve things in the soil I grow in outdoors.

 

As far as strain goes just choose whatever strain you like.

For indoor growing you may buy any popular soil at shop. If you are choosing strain I like AK-47 and White window.

Thanks for the advice everybody.

 

I'm currently scanning my area via google maps for viable spots, 

 

Once I find a general area I'm comfortable with, considering security, accessibility, location in relation to water ect. Is there a certain soil value that I should be chasing once I start testing? Or can I generally pick any ol' spot and provided I prep it before planting, usually not a problem? I'm quite new to this, I'd just like to operate on the maximum information possible. 

 

Indoor growing shouldn't be a problem, I'll just follow a carbon copy grow plan and keep a log and ask as I go whilst querying the community should I run into problems.

 

The seed I'm having my first attempts with is big bomb auto, and should be in my hands within a week. 

 

 

 

Thanks!

Must be some great smoke though since you've replied twice to it in as many weeks
