Ditch the clay.
Yes, in a lawn for example it's a water holder... for cannabis, it's not your best bet... try the polymer 'crystals' that hold water.
Also mulch heavily around the base of your plant, using leaves, which will conserve water and discourage weeds.
Things to worry about:
drought
not noticing diseases or nutrient problems because you're not there
weeds
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . Growing in The Danger Zone Holla. I am trying to grow outdoors this year for the first time in about 5 years. The last time I did it I was in high school and it didn't turn out all that great. I have started some Juicy Fruit seeds indoors. I think I'm going to grow them for the entire month of May indoors and plop them outside at the start of June. I plan on moving across the country at the end of July. I'll be able to care for the plants a little bit up until about mid July and then their on their own. Will Rating: 5
