So next year is going to be my second grow. I wont have ALOT of plants, but hopefully more will sprout next year than did this year.

The thing is, due to privacy issues the only place I can grow is out in my woods. So I know with indoor hydroponic setups and the like you can fine tune everything to maximize the THC content- since everything in under your control. But what variables are (at least somewhat) under your control when you grow outdoors? And what are the best ways to use them to your advantage?

So what are your opinions on:
The best way to treat the soil? (the dirt stuff. not store bought)
The best fertilizers and nutrients to add (and at what stages?)
The best additives (if any) for the water?
The addition of gibberalic acid (a plant growth hormone) to a seedling? (This one I am particularly worried about trying, since its growing faster and taller, wouldn't that make the buds smaller, less potent, and less dense? Or would it help?)

Any other variables to the outdoor growing process that you can think of to change that will maximize the overall THC content would be greatly appreciated by me, and others I'm sure.
