deep wilderness outdoors 2014

[that smell]

Heres a little background about the grow and then I have a question for all you seasoned outdoor growers. I,m going to be doing a remote grow that more than likely I will only be able to check on maybe once mid season. I dont think lack of rain will be an issue. The grow will be on a pretty steep section with lots of roots and really rocky. Therefore I plan on using 20 gallon nursery containers. The genetics are sour strawberry haze from CSG and sweet pink grapefruit from hortilab. For medium I plan on using some topsoil, peat moss and perlite for aeration. Good local sourced ewc and cow compost about 2 seasons old. Also some dolomite lime and epsom salt. Should that be able to carry the plant through or should I also add some desert bat guano 8-2-1 and possibly some either epsoma or jobes orgainic to the mix. The main deal is I dont have all these other supplements locally that people recommend and also the area is also crawling with wildlife and I dont want to be using blood and bone meal to attract the critters.I plan on transplanting in about 2 weeks when the girls are at 12 " or so. I ve grown in areas in the past where I could just sneak around and care for plants, but not this year. Please feel free to comment. Thanks

Try to get cages, I use chicken wire, for some kind of protection for when they're small, speaking from experience, critters love the fresh young plants, and if you can't visit them it's even more of an issue. Once they get older it seems like they aren't bothered as much. Just my 2 cents.

RosettaStoned, whats up. Thanks for the advice. Yeah Ive already found some green colored chicken wire that I plan on using. Its dull green and should blend in pretty well. Im really impressed with how your grow is looking. I see that you use a pretty basic soil mix also and from pics from previous grows it seems to do you well. Any advice on that front?

Your soil mix sounds pretty good to me, maybe add some of that bat guano now and top feed if you can make the mid season visit, because they'll probably be hungry again by that point. If you do add bat guano to the soil mix, I would do it now so it can sit and cook for a week or two before you plant, so as not to burn the plants. I don't know if you have plans for mulch, but it really helps with water retention and organics/soil health in general. I would also try to get something out there to feed when flowering starts to give them a boost, if at all possible.

Hope that helps
