Proposed grow location

[Slotty2]

Hey all,

 

Did a bit of bush bashing the other night, this seems like a good grow location. Nice cleared area, good camoflauge, shitty soil, that wont matter tho, ill be bring my own.

 

What you think?

looks deadset perfect IMO :thumbsup

 

although i dont know how far it is from roads and what not, it still looks like a massive grow are capable of growing many pounds of top notch smoko :smoke

 

just wondering, how high are those ferns from the ground? u might have to remove some in order to let ya ladies get enough sun but apart from that, that site is perfect :thumbsup

[Slotty2]

pretty far away from any roads. Ferns are about knee height or a tad more. yeh I was thinking about cutting some of them around the plant until it grows above them. But yeh I'm pretty happy with the location.

Are you considering using it this season? Or next?

 

If this season is on the agenda, then I hope you've got some seedlings well established in pots, otherwise you may find you get a late harvest, and by the looks of your site, mold could be a problem when things dampen off.

Im a first time grower. got small seedling in pots, not ready for transplant yet. I am just going to plant and see what happens. Im not fussed if I dont get a good harvest.

 

The area is very dry, don't think theyre's much chance of mold, no frost either in winter which is also a plus.

...........................well, it is January.

 

 

 

Logic would suggest, that the conditions the area will be expecting to encounter in and around May, to have a significant bearing on whether or not mold is to be an effort defeating problem.

 

Remember that maturing buds hold water droplets due to their shape and form, and that morning drizzle, common in May, caught in them, won't dry in time for the next evening, and therefore the next morning's drizzle. It may be several days before enough fine hours in a row occur to dry a bud. This is the recipe for mold.

 

Hey, don't think I'm talking you out of it. Not a chance. I'm trying to lay out some food for thought. I like the spot you've chosen very much, and as such, my initial interest, through my own experience, spawned the question.

[WantDaChronic]

yeah i have noticed ferns especially collect alot of dew of a morning so mould could be an issue but if u clear like 2-3ft around each plant u shouldnt have a problem....

 

great spot though i say over grow it with mullies

If that's bracken fern in the area, you may find the soil is waterlogged as well, in which case you may be better off with pots outdoors. Drainage is essential, and bracken fern, (if that's what it is) only grows in waterlogged soils, usually near rivers.

 

Mind you, it could just be treeferns, in which case you're laughing.

Very nice rufes1 :thumbsup Can't wait to see how you go!

You haven't got access to a HID? Or a mate that grows? Just thinking you could veg your babies for a couple of weeks before you transplant, as my only concern would be the same as Spurious, you may run into problems if you plant your little bubbies now and run into a late harvest. Maybe even under a couple of compact flouros could help :scratchin May really sucks :thumbdown

Please keep us posted, it really looks like a great spot you've picked :yingyang

Hey luke the place where I grew up and grew massive amounts of Mj was all in ground surrounded by bracken.

 

Maybe it was because it rained a hell of alot, but it didnt effect the plant a hell of a lot.

If it is water logged just make a hole alot bigger than you need and fill it with stones or whatever you find laying around.

 

the biggest issue was actually the bracken stealing the nutreints and water out of the soil.

 

But yea if it is a waterlogged area forget about it.
