Hey guys I'm going to start my first outdoor grow this spring, its going to be in a swamp in an open area that gets plenty of light, its dry now but should around knee deep in water through out the summer, im going to build some kind of platforms to place my pots on, to get them out of the water, I plan on using fox farm oceon forest with water absorbing crystals because i don't plan on making to many visits. maybe once every 2 weeks to check up on them and water them, I plan on using the swamp water, it sounds bad but the water looks pretty decent, and other plants seem to grow fine with it, I shouldn't have to worry about critters because of the water, bugs and drought should be my only problems. I need to find a strain that will do well in this kinda enviroment.......summers here tend have some periods of drought but will have alot of rain and temp her gets in the low 90's with high humidity, the strains that I have researched online don't tend to have to much info on outdoor info. Any ideas of a strain that will do well in this enviorment and won't need to much attention from me, I plan on statrting them indoor with promix and then transplanting them outdoors after a coupoe of weeks, and femenized would be best because i don't want to waste my time on males, anybody else grow in florida and please help with my strain choice? I plan on only 5 female plants

look for a strain that is very mold resistant.

so I been looking around and found some fem hollands hope from wwwms they are very mold resistent but I also read they are good for cooler climates, also many of the puprple strains are good for cooler climate, since i live in florida and usally between 90 and 95 degrees with these strains do fine or is to hot?

Yeah you'll do fine, buddy. I like your style. I've done the same thing growing in a swamp in florida...I put my containers in 2 or 3 inches of water so I wouldn't have to water them. If this is what your thinking about doing it know that it will work but it will reduce your yield. It doesn't grow as fast as it would with regular feedings...It's a good idea to grow it in a smamp. No pussies will be walking thru swamps looking for weed or anything else for that matter. Only thing you got to worry about is police flyovers.

Im planning on having them totally out of the water

did you have any problems with bugs or anything, and since i won't have them directly in the water, do you think i have any problems with them drying out, you know how florida can be, it usually rains every day or so but lately these last few summers have seen periods of drought, I plan on putting those water absorbing crystals mixed with my soil, and hopefully i can get back there twice a month if there is drought, I don't think i will have to worry about flyovers because its kinda in a residential area

IDK I've never had experience with the water absorbing crystals. If you can get back there twice a month my guess would be that they would be fine. I would try to get out there more often once they started flowering, though.
