Dont use chemicals, if you end up having a problem with the bugs use a mild soap and water solution, make sure lots of sunlight hits the spot and dont start till spring... your not gonna srow shitt if you try in this weather :o)

How'd ya like the storm we got yesterday?
If you're growing in a swamp I'd try elevating your plants so they aren't sitting in water all the time. Like in buckets (5 gal) with holes in them, sunk only about 1/3 of the way into the wet soil. That's a Franklin County classic method, lol...
You gotta do some readin gon nutrients and soil though. Plenty of time before spring.
What part of MA you in?

Yea I totally agree with stinkyatic. Do some HEAvY reading, I made the mistake of jumping right into it once and despite my learning experience it was a huge waste of time... if its in a swamp you could always do hydro, i had some indoor hydro plants goin and that shit came out prime, everyone who tried it said it was the best they ever smoked... and this was comming from huge heddies lovers. If you plan on that tho I would deff test the waters PH levels!

Sticnkyattic... I'm north east of Boston where are you?

[stinkyattic]

Waaaaay west of Boston... like 2-2 1/2 hours W near the I-91 corridor.

Out there ya got NO privacy...
20 plants all together is going to get notcied.
No more than 3 in one place.
And in a somewhat urban area you have to just go right in the ground or the hippies are gonna clean up your op on Earth Day when they all go hang out in the swamps with trash bags.

buckets are your best bet...

Its a cheap hydro setup... fits one plant each and you only need to go there to water it every once and a while...

But most of all remember to have FUN!

I've ha d instances where people have found my grows in the middle of the woods and either destroy them or take the plants... it sucks
Tat and amazingly the cops found one of mine once but luckily i had abandoned it due to the fact that i walked through poison ivy every single time i went back there.

hey mordecia if i used the wicker buckets could ibury them up to the edge and do i mix and solutions in with the water to help the plants grow betta and would the plant be a good hydro

[xmordeciax]

Ive never personally used the wick method but it is tried and true... , it should be find if you buried them but i suggest you leave the bucket at least 2 inches out of the ground... the way they work is there are 2 buckets, one that fits on top of the other and the top one has a cotton wick that absorbs the water and brings it up to the plant... keep in mind you will have to constantly refill the water around once every week... keep in mind most hydro is done indoors and if it rains its possible your plant could drown if the bucket ends up overfilling.

[mass12]

hmm your right i guess ill just grow in the ground... u think its alright is i bury a 5 gal bucket in the ground and leave it about an inch up and plant inside that? would a 5gal bucket be big enough room for a mature plants roots to spread or should i simply plant right in some fertilized soil

[masterjointsmith]

5 gallon is cool they average between 3and7ft not enuff root to hold a monster 9month old outdoor tree up though if ya goin 5 gal. i would put them wire cone things for like tomatoes or peppers.

Thats a great idea! Another thing your gonna want to make sure of is the buckets have proper drainage... they can drown even in dirt!
