- Long time lurker, first time poster. I live in New York and have access to remote wetland/forest that I plan on putting out ~10+ plants in. have a few questions, I do have a decent green thumb and would prefer to keep things organic ON/UNDER my plants, I'm gonna pest/fungus blast the surrounding area. Not afraid to mix my own anything. I know quality everything costs, but would like to stay affordable while still being worth it and keep visits to a minimum, although the sites are very close to where I live, so carrying is no problem. Also, partnering with my old man who knows a damn lot about cultivation of bitches.
- First question: pot. I've seen fabric 10gal pots that look nice, as they might fold up into my large back pack for transport. I've also seen the "global bucket" (5gal bucket version of earth box) that would be nice for it's wicking ability. It can also be connected via siphon to a reservoir for longer between watering. I would like to dig a hole for the pot. 5gal buckets I can get for free so that's a plus. Also considered like a burlap sack/plastic bag. Any ideas here?
- Second question: soil mix. I have access to free high quality "leaf mould" (leaf compost) and a leaf /clipping compost. I also have about 15,000 composting worms who live in a mix of those so I have a lot of castings and a steady supply of nutrient rich "worm tea". I can make bio char and also have good maple ash. I've looked into pro mix and I feel like I couldn't fertilize it as I should being a guerilla operation. It's also pricey. I really want to avoid bone/blood meal as I don't want to attract critters/coydogs lol. The soil on site is pretty decent.
- Third question: fertilizers. Slow/constant release in the soil/water soluble. Again, I make worm tea and bio char regularly. I'm interested in mychoraze, trace minerals, beneficial bacteria shit like that. I've had little critters come dig up my bonsai trees I fertilize with roots organics Buddha grow, I think from the guano. So trying to avoid concentrations of things like that if possible. Not sure how animals feel about manure. Again, trying to stay organic when possible. I plan to be able to visit the plants roughly twice a week, maybe more.
- Fourth question: 'cides. Decent methods of keeping animals away, I have some ideas. We have everything from bears, deer, rabbits, mountain lions and coy dogs. Keeping bugs away, willing to blast the shit out of surrounding areas of plants with whatever boric acid etc. Funguscide all that good stuff. Would like to be organic on things that come in contact with the plant or its roots.
-fifth optional question: strain/bank. Anyone have any hearty short strains they like? Also, any cheapo strains that are "good as the best"? Seeds are expensive I don't really understand it haha.
- Any answers that could cover all questions in a single possible scenario, perhaps price options, would be great. Otherwise any other wisdom would be much obliged. Im sure I forgot to ask at least one thing here lol. Also open to any crazy ideas as long as its cost/final product efficient. Thanks in advanced!!
