    Default Swamp grow?


    Hey guys i was out walking through a bush last night and i ran into a few km's of swamp, some parts are really wet but in a little open area i barely sunk, it just seemed damp and almost perfect for growing. all the other plants around were bright green and looked healthy as hell, ive never grown in a swamp before and alot of people say its amazing, or its a place for animals to go and fuck you over and ext. I was wondering if anyone could help me and how would you grow here? Pots, bags, my soil, or just let the nature do the work, any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks alot guys

    a couple problems i see is 1 like you said animals. animals are drawn to water spots like that. when your not there all the forest animals are and most of them love to eat our kind of plants. 2 the dampness is actually a problem. these plants love their soil to dry out a little in between waterings to breath. if its always damp they dont get a chance to breath and can easily die. also heavy rains could flood the swamp and flood your plants out and easily killing them as well.

    What the dr said.

    Weed likes well drained airy soil, a swamp just ain't it.

    Me n a buddy did 30 plants in buckets in a swamp. We had a bear that liked to knock the odd bucket over. Thing about swamp growing is you have to go every 5-7 days to handle the water/animal problems if they happen. We wound up with 12 lbs from 30

    What size pots do you reccomend? and i know a few people like to cut the bottoms of the pots off and let them do it that way, should i just use pots with my own soil? What makes a swamp such a good place if you can do this anywhere

    its great, safe spot, water source if needed, the animals can be a problem and i agree about checking up on the plants 5-7 days. What makes swamps good spots is the water source, nobody go's in swamps so its safe, and there tends to be openings in the sky.

    Yeah thats what i think with my spot, im growing Critical +, OG Kush, and Cheese, its my first time growing but i have some help, so you would choose a swamp over a forrest? i had to hike back in rubber boots which seems like its pretty safe, is just normal dirt from Home Depot or something fine?
