Hi everyone,

Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere else but this is my first time growing, and I've found a good site. It's literally covered in nettles, does this mean the soil is good? And if I plant within the nettles will they take the nutrients from the plant?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers.

nettles are a good sign thet are fairly easy to thin out just get a fork and scrape the surface you will find a mat like structure of roots just take them up in the areas that your plants are going in to about 3ft sq perplant.

Thanks for the fast reply Station. It's great to have members who help so quicky

Wear thick gloves when pulling up nettle roots! They save the biggest stings for the roots.

Does you site get plenty of sunshine? Not too overshadowed? Also is it a real pain in the arse to get to?

From my experience, nettle soil is fine and full of organic matter [rotten leaves etc]. But this is because they grow under a tree canopy. Ganja hates shade, so don't grow [mostly], where nettles thrive. If you're clever, take the soil to a sunnier spot.

yes this will be a good grow site , but you must take of all your clothes and role in the nettles or they will come back year after year, once roling is done please ask me for the next step

Let me guess, piss on the nearest electric fence.

Thanks for the advice on the roots Gom, the site isnt overshadowed and took a very long walk to get to so I think that will be all okay. And nelviss... I will if you do with me .
