Dreamer420 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) I’ve thought about a few spots near me, but, even in South Wales, I can’t imagine many truly remote places left. If I get a build up of seeds one day, I’ll probably out a few about the place and see what happens regarding the water, if you can have a filter, and store it in a light proof container, you should be ok for quite a while like that.

Guest Micromole Hole Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Get digging some nice spacious holes and bang in the bags of compo with the native - the depth and radius of the hole will create a dark moist environment in the blasting summer heat. Pots are no good for unattended spaces - my 30 litre pots always dried out in the blistering heat - doing that with autos would be a spliff on a stick through stress. Grow some photoperiods up indoors for 5 weeks - top them and bush them out to manage size and bang out mid May in a bag of compo - will result in some beastly trees .

Alright thank you for the advice I've took fresh comp to the plot now but now I know I can use that I might experiment doing some in ground, as I said in main post native soil quality is quite poor so I could just dig a hole and fill with 50-75L of comp for some of the photoperiod strains. Also I bought some Perlite which I found for cheap on offer would you suggest mixing that in with the fresh compost which I am using in the fabric pots for the autos and some of the photos? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmacca Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Best of luck. it's a rollercoaster of buzz and enjoyment also shitting yaself.its bloody great hahha You want to put em straight in the ground , much more forgiving on the watering and more self sufficient. Research super soil, that's what you want. Worm castings at 30 percent and perlite at 25 percent. Fish blood and bone meal, manure and kelp meal in the mix. Let it 'cook' for 4 weeks before you plant out. I pop them middle April in garden then transplant at 3 weeks old with slug collars Autos are most certainly not more forgiving, any stunts in growth really effect the outcome. Photos are so much more forgiving as lots of time to sort themselves out.also lots of heavy training/topping/ fimming can be done. I have had more rot with autos than photos.FACT. A mid summer rain will screw you in flower than a mid October piss down. As for genetics I would be going real gorilla seeds for photos.lool nowhere else. I chopped a fast zkittles on 11th November this year 5 percent rot . What a beast Good luck 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've took a few 5L bottles of water so far so once I've used them up I could fill with rain water depending on how much I can collect but once again would any bad bacteria or anything that could harm the plants negatively build up inside the bottle or would it be fine. dont worry about water quality,,,,, in dry times ..i gave stinking water with dead mice in it ...from my water hole to plants.....they loved it !!!! ps: corpses are great vertilisers Edited January 3, 2023 by DutchFox 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I dug a nice sized pit for water at on spot this year I'm trying to minimise or no carrying water to plots. Any one know if a tarp is OK instead on pond liner and pond membrane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know it's just confusing cause I hear some people say filter and bubble the water for oxygen and then some say its perfectly fine to use as it is. My nan used to use unfiltered rain water on all her vegetables and that so yeah can't imagine it would be bad just didn't know if there was any bacteria which could like fuck the roots up or be bad in some other way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamer420 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Oh yea, won’t need filtering for the plants as such, I was meaning a basic filter to stop leaves and twigs and shit blocking your collection system into the bottle or whatever you use.

Pots are no good for unattended spaces. Alright mate I'll have to give that a try judging what people are saying on here I'll probably do half in ground half in pots. At quite a few of places at the plot there's quite big rocks (not natural to the area just been dumped there) and quite a lot of big slabs which prevents all the space being usable for in ground but should definitely be possible to do half in ground though and rest in pots. My first 3 I attempted which were stolen were in pots 2 of them where bubble kush automatic, didn't need to be watered as much as you'd think but obviously the weather can affect that but they were 3-4 weeks into flower and were smelling proper fruity, they got to about 70-80cm tall in 12L fabric pots started outside from seedling. I might try find some photos from my old phone of those autos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I get you now mate going to buy a 2x3m heavy duty tarp and dig a hole basically and put the tarp inside to catch any rain incase of dry days then bottle it up so it doesn't evaporate from the tarp. Would algae growing in the bottles be an issue I assume that's why you mentioned light-proof container, they are just clear plastic bottles would a couple of black bin bags be enough to stop the light or no?

Guest Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I've left water in 2 litre bottles in a bush for the season using tap water . But yh not sure about already contaminated water. I think with the rain we get the water in the "pond" should be okay jus cover top with bag maybey. This approach is new to me usually carry 20litres in a back pack . Those days are done.
