how many plants?

[Pulse]

i have 36 plants i was planning on dispersing them in units of 6 throughout 6 grow areas that way if 1 section gets a hermie or male that I didn't see it wont kill everything. They also wont all get discovered as easily cause I have 6 different sections miles apart. Do you think 6 sections of 6 is a good number or should it be like 9 sections of 4 or 4 sections of 9 plants? Anyone want to help me out? I donâ??t plan on making a lot of trips during the summer only about 4 per section. Once for planting, twice for removing male/watering, and once more for harvesting. is this ok or am I going to half to water them everyday? Ohh I also was thinking of using this http://www.schultz.com/ProductCatego.../MoisturePlus/ what you think?

seperating the plants is fine... 4 groups of 9 should be fine.

The watering is a different story.. They will probably need frequent watering in their youth.

Some out door growers start watering 12-18 inches away from the stalk and each time they water they move further from the stalk. The theory is that watering further away from the plant encourages larger root growth..

Larger root growth means
1. that the plant will get BIGGER
2. it will beable to get water on its OWN

Your enviroment and temperature will determine if you need to (or how often you should water.

Everyone says you will need to water as much as your area requires. I am in the SF Bay Area CA, and it has rained a lot.
If anyone could give me a ballpark answer of how often and how much water each plant needs that would be great.
Thanks

Blind..
You will have to grow in the location fo a season.. and you should probably keep a journal and mark down every time you water.. and how much water.. If you are near a stream or an underground water table(is that redundant?) then you need to water much much less...

Hopefully you will find a location that you can use year after year.. and really master the situation..

Obviously on HOTTER days you want to check on your plants...

sorry I can not give you an absolute answer..

as you plant gets bigger, It will either need more water...

or it will need less water because the roots will have gone deep enough to find there own moisture....

well what about using the MoisturePlus it says i only need to water every month with it and i figure it will rain at least ouce every month so it should have plenty of water if i give it a good watering when i transplant
