Growing in the desert

[DemoCommando]

I live in a desert area of california. It's now winter and around frosting. So I can't grow now, but in spring it gets nice.

How would I go about growing in a desert area? I can get fertilizer and all that I need. The soil is very rocky and sandy. I can get fert and plant them in it. Example: Buy a plant at KMart Center and take out that plant and replace it with a mj seed. Would that work? Sun is no problem, just the soil. I live in a pretty desolate area of the desert and never see any cops and people just leave you alone.

can you dig a hole in the ground... about 3 feet deep and 2 feet wide?

can you dig 10 of these holes?

and then fill them with some quality soil..

and do you have a water source?

if you can do this... you can grow some monsters!!

I have a hose that I water them everyday.

I can dig holes

I want to try just 1 or 2 at first

I can get any quality soil at Home Depot or Lowes

That's awesome.

it's a bit more complicated than that...

i suggest that you start reading up on grow guides...

you'll need high Nitrogen fert. during vegging, and high phosp. fertilizer during flowering ( budding )

During the growing period before budding I fill hole with nitro fert, then during budding dig up the soil and take out nitro soil and fill with high phosp fert and let it flower?

The sun can be a problem heat stress turns females into Hermies,but with enough water it can be done and the MJ loves low humidity and dry weather

[DemoCommando]

in the spring it's about 80-90. That doesn't sound too hot. I can get it where it's about 70-80 for about 2 months. I would water every day or whatever is neccessary. This sounds plausible.

Not that hot at all.
Totally fine

Anyway, you don't fill the hole with fert, you fill the hole with soil. You add fertilizers to the soil, get it. So you buy some ferts, dilute the reccomended amount on bottle to water and water plant. Don't worry you won't have to take out all the soil.
