Hiya from Oregon, where I can grow 6 plants for legitimate purposes. I'd like to recommend one of my favorite books (on Amazon) by Ed Rosenthal, titled: "Marijuana Growers Handbook"
You must check it out. I've been around since Mexican rag weed sold for $55. kilo. Amazing how times have changed. I like your creek bed story. Odd that the whole town doesn't
know about by now. You appear to be enterprising enough...gotta be a way to grow one bad-ass plant somewhere. Well, take it easy.
