I've still pretty new to the whole grow your own game, and because the time changed I'm thinking since I have a good idea what I'm doing inside, why not go outdoor for the summer? well, that and i'd love to have a harvest to last me a bit.. i've got some bagseed, three right now on 12/12 next to my other two. I attempted topping one and will probably do the same to the others after I see the turn-out so I can practice my technique. now, on to where I need help. there are a few places i've had in mind near lakes, rivers and streams. the sites are in the great fl, and we get lots of hurricane activity every year(no, katrina wasn't the only one.) i'd like to know how high from the water table I should plant. I don't want flooding. they will go straight into the ground and the only soil they'll have is what's in their cups. i've read a lot of guides but most are from canadians or mountain people. any locals around that know how to deal with the humidity and fluctuating temps? give me a shout. I plan to veg a mother after my cab's empty to continuously distrubute clones throughout summer. how many, I don't know, but tips and ways to avoid being found out are appreciated. my uncles walked out to their 'last site' in the 80s and found a telephone wire flag from the local sheriffs dept stuck where each of they're fully grown crop was. don't need that happening. hope to start as soon as temps rise, time changed so it shouldn't be long before the ground's warm.

if ya aint got ur own land u always take the risk of cops or rip offs. Id plant at least 50 ft away from a water source. Id bring in a bag of top soil for every hole you dig as all the dirt is actually sand....lmao they say the penisulas summers are brutal on indica strains so go with a sativa. dont go too huge. and brah you coulda planted 3 weeks ago. i got outdoor thats on 3rd true node right now. sewed dry a few weeks ago. i havent had ne bug problems as of yet obviously. but once again they say ur plant can get serious bud rot late summer here. I got a short rider going in a 2.5 gallon (femmed) and im experimenting with 13 bag seed in direct ground....me personally ive never been one to trapse around the woods for a gorilla spot.....back yard with some ingenuity and the right plant will do.....oh yeah u can get yo self an auto flower and harvest in may and then do another one and harvest sept. and then 1 more for december.......hope some of that helped

my three seedlings are on their 3rd node I think, inside under just a little light. as far as the water goes.. I don't want to unless there's a drought so do you think 50 ft will work for that? I might buy some scott's cheap-o mulch but the soil around the places I'm talking about are nice earthy soil with a lot of leaves on top constantly decomposing to make more. it's not good enough? I was thinking if not I might buy some nutes to use every other week.. not a good idea? i'm keeping it small, I'm only doing the clones as a precaution against deer who claimed my buddy's first plant, trampled about ten feet from the water. I know the humidity is breeding ground for budrot, shouldn't I just plant in an area where there's a draft or something and trim leaves that could lead to excess moisture? +rep for being the first post and actually making it good, thanks johnny
