search for posts by " two heads " he grows directly in swamps, hes been doing it for years.
Rolldaddy,
To mimic daylight length, since they are going out on around 15hours daylight... That way reduces stress when they are transplanted outdoors!

Went last week to the location for a closer inspection and to dig a few holes.
It's pretty swampy/marsh type of environment there! Soil is had a lot of clay. We found some good locations in some hills where there was a 12-15inch layer of nice decomposed leaf/organic matter, fluffy, black soil.
We dug some holes 3x3x15" on most of these spots. Got about 15 done so far, back is sore as fuuuckkk lol
We also mixed about 30gals of soil or so, still need to add more soil next time we go up there to finish digging! Probably going to need to mix another 40 gal or so!
The plants look great at about 2 weeks old. The got another 2 weeks indoors and then will be transferred out!
Hope preparations are going well for everyone!
I'll post back soon with more updates

yeah....sept/oct is gonna be nice in the NE!
Good reason to dig deeper than 20 inches would be to make moisture reservoir. For example mix water crystals with soil bellow 20 inches depth. This way plants will have a better chance to survive those long periods of drought and there's no need to water them. At least in my climate. I made holes like this and plants/yield was always better. This is for guerilla of course.
Today went to the spot and put 40 plants out. Most of holes were put 2 plants per, Some got 1 per hole. Spots looked good even tho it rained heavy last night. I caged them in with some plastic fence. Put some slug bait and a round of lime around the holes. I'm wondering how long I got to keep them fenced in to keep it away from the deer?! If someone knows, please let me know. It's suppose to rain the next day or two. Some holes will get so much sunlight. Lets just hope the organic mix its not too hot, only been sitting out for 10 days or so. Anyways, I'll keep yall updated.
Keeping my fingers crossed. I put mine 4 weeks ago without any protection. 15 out of 40 survived. Time to plant some more. Good luck with the season!
Checked them girls 2 weeks ago, and they were all happy. Chopped like 4 males that had shown sex already. I also removed a few cages due stealthiness. Trying to go this weekend and check things out. I hope the removal of the cages werent a disaster. The weather havent been so great lately. We had 1 week of good sunshine but it's been raining for the past few days... lets hope this rain goes away and brings the sunshine! Hope everyone doing good out there! Peace
Hope everyone doing good out there! PeaceLeroy Brown

Dear will munch off all the leaves & shoots & leave you with nothing but a stripped skeleton, if you're lucky one or two shoots will be left & the plant will miraculously survive the apocolypse. Only happens in may, june, and early july to plants that are still young- then there is an abundance of fresh growth on native forage for them & they don't bother them until flower again where they usually do minimal damage. Drought conditions play a role in that as well. Thanks to ds toker for schooling me on the why's of that once.
I had a 4' autoflower, easy qp, last year get completely stripped & killed. Who else here seen the skeleton say yeah'
A good coating of capsaicin based sprays does the trick, it will burn the leaves though so try not to go too crazy.
On a side note, I almost got attacked by a doe one season, coyote's are pussies, but having a deer 20' away and tamping the ground and huffing at you about to charge is no joke.
