InjectTruth said:Here's a HUGE question Im glad I remembered about your city spots and such, as I visited my lot last night. How do you deal with street lights and ambient lighting from businesses? I saw a plant in HT that was flowering on one side but not the other.
The last thing I want to do is plant where they won't flower.
Very good question and very important actually......
First: City spots I don't run giants, by any means....they're all planted after the larger spots are already done, and, everything else is done..... (ie: finish those, then move onto others, etc...)I may also add things and go to different spots , especially if I amk continuously planting....(I've basically been planting now sine May 1st....sometimes weekly, sometimes daily...(and I'm surprised to look at my calender and backtrack and realize now that is 11 weeks worth of planting, with several more in front of me......no wonder I'm fuckin exhausted and forget it's still early........)
Of course as you mentioned, this is a very important aspect of choosing spots and people should not overlook...(seriously, glad you mentioned it, because I probably would have overlooked it)
For the most part, and, running smaller helps also when taking all existing vegetation into consideration, my spots are pretty much in the dark....some will have a distant street light, but, comes into play with the spot also and security (follow me on this...)
I know a couple factory areas, solid back walls, dense weeds and vegetation, etc, but, of course, if they are running floodlights in back on the area you want to plant..., I would suggest first one start looking around for cameras on the facility......and, of course, since the area you plan to execute a "covert" activity is bathed in light, well...that would of course kill that as far as being a potential spot anyway.......
Nah.....the majority of my city spots are pretty much pitch black.....an occasional street light in the distance but no more than basically equivalent to "moonlight" (in the amount of light that it actually produces that reaches the spots....
(Plus, again, because smaller......get some "insulation" from surrounding vegetation, etc....)
Very good question and glad you mentioned it......I would have missed it (I just automatically assume someone gets into a spot, and, lights, etc, they would bypass it as too much exposure.....)
