How do prepare outdoor plot?

I've grown the RN the last 2 summers and it has finished both times. 2012 was a pretty bad summer here and it still finished in time. I think it's a few weeks slower than the typhoon but that could also be spot related. Last summer (2013) my friend harvested his typhoon about the same time as our RN. I didn't even grow the typhoon at all just a few auto spots and then another early cross called Danish Passsion X Royal Dane.

I've never used anything to deter the moose or deer cause I haven't had a problem with em till this year and only one auto spot. Though I will take a piss around the spot now and then.
I've also heard that if you go to a barber and get a sack of hair and spread it around the spot it will keep em away. Off the hook says to put a clock that ticks under a tin can and it will keep the critters away.

Most royal neps will finish in time with a nice pre-grow. Seen em finish without one too, but they do branch out much more given the indoor head start. It's not the best when it comes to mold tho, there are phenos that will mold up very easy. But there are also some good, big yielders that are kinda mold resistant. Big fluffy buds usually, pretty couchy smoke.

Juuri,, Pissing in cups will keep deer away. No need to bury them. Just set them on the ground so they don't tip over. However, you do need to put fresh piss in them at LEAST twice a week to be effective..I think the deer can smell the old pee and know that the human WAS there but that it was a week ago. As far as rabbits, it doesn't work. If you have lots of rabbits around your young girls (green stems) the only way I know to protect them is to use chicken wire at least 1 foot tall aound your girls...

juuri,
I have some general suggestions to make. If you’re quite near a swamp, dig down and find out where the water table is. This also makes for a convenient source of water. You’ll want your plant’s roots to have ample room above that table to grow in soil that’s not saturated. Turn the soil over in an area as big around as the plant you want to grow to a depth of about half a meter. If the soil has lot of organic material in it and it turns over easily that’s great. If not you’ll want to add something to lighten it up some. If you have time for your soil to compost before planting you might try something I’ve done which is to break up a bale of alfalfa and mix it into the soil. Alfalfa has nitrogen and some natural growth hormones. Swampy areas often have acidic soil so you might want to add gypsum or lime to raise the pH. There were lots of critters in “my” swamp, so take precautions. I had something called bone tar oil, smelled really awful and kept many animals away.

Thank you all for the input.:thank you:

It is alot of stuff to consider, but i want every thing to be good as possible. But it would be my first grow, so i don't have very high expectations.

The water table is about 80cm down the surface. So i think that roots have plenty of room there to go... Soil seems good enough at the moment, its nice black soil and looks fertile... I think i'll add some perlite and vermiculite with a good bag soil there... And some chiken shit and bat guano, if i can find the bat guano... Seems like i have to order it online because i havent seen it in
horticulture stores... And i have to figure out way to check the soil ph. If its acidic i'll add some lime. :) And i'll look in to the bone tar oil... And i'll start to collect some hair too... :D

I will at least try the royal nepal... It sounds good enough to try... But have u ever tried Dr.Greenthumb's Auto iranian...?
It seeme little pricey but has very good feedback...
If its good as they're saying that it is, maybe ill have to find someone who grows indoors and let them make a seed run...
