Good to see you back mb! Gonna be watching this year for sure ��good luck with the monsters bro
How do you guys feel about watering with pond water?
Completed my first true g grow. In the northeast had to chop early due to mold. Still pulled 2 units of usable flowers. Due to bad trim job ended up getting stuck with 1.5 lbs ended up turning into butter/wax/kief. Looking for strains that will finish by mid September.
It's hard to find spots with all day aun around here. They usually fly over the swamps. Lot's of little breaks in forests that get good under growth. Not all day sun but enough to get an acceptable plant.
They can't fly over every location so they usually rely on past years data and current intel. It's not the land of plenty in these parts, unless you are into brick weed. Keeps prices sky high. Seen folks pay $50 1/8th for seedless brick.
Too many houses, too much corn and soy. Everyones a narc or wants to be a hero. Churches on every street. All brainwashed do gooders.
So I have a couple questions.. as I grew up in a completely different area that was mostly desert, I feel like I'm out of place somewhat in the woods. I'm trying to look for rich soil spots by observing the ground vegetation. Is there a method people use for this our am I crazy and over thinking this? I'm assuming the better spots would be where medium sized bushes/ growth is concentrated. Is there any good resources on here to identify these areas or is it just guesswork without lab tests on the soil? Also what are some good ways to identify weak/ dying trees. I had two fall in a late storm last year and destroyed a couple plants, while I know it coulda been a freak accident I'm just trying to give myself a good chance of success this season and I'm trying to learn. Any help is much appreciated
I would doubt you find a fertile spot with much privacy. Look for Polk plants they need pretty good soil and moisture, provide good cover, and are easily bent over. I would plan on carrying a bag of Happy Frog or some such enrichment. Some bag soils have gel to hold water better if you fear the drought. My issue has been root rot in clay hillsides. I dug holes in the clay and didn't give enough drainage in the bottom. Never lost a plant to a dry year when it got a decent start of rootsSo I have a couple questions.. as I grew up in a completely different area that was mostly desert, I feel like I'm out of place somewhat in the woods.

If possible its always better to use the native resources you have around you. Don't lug anything more than you have to.
Forest soil tends to have a very shallow fertile top soil. I am from the midwest I look for lowlands. The soil is so fertile it looks black gold. In these areas there is no need to water and lots of native vegetation to help with security.
If possible use google earth to look for small creeks or rivers. They will lead to these lowlands and they usually have good sun .
The great thing about google earth is the built in compass for finding southernly sun. The ruler allows you to check distances for parking, bike riding etc.
