Human hair works well to keep deer away. In my day we would tie a bunch to a post at the 4 corners of a 40 ft plot. The kids nowadays tie stuffed stockings to the same posts.
I have an AK48 shrub that I am attempting to Scrog. 65? days from germination to the present 30 days of flowering. I definately have a bud up my ass as I am now taking clones from the AK48, a bagseed shrub and a very dark green blue mystic that I can't seem to kill.
I have a half assed journal with pics here somewhere.

60, always. I'm not sure if you thing I'm lowballing it or what. But when you are a grower just trying to get rid of his excess shit you definitely sell at wholesale prices.

Nahhh, don't waste your time. Forget the oz in the grow bag and aim for a lb. Pick a spot with as much sun as you feel safe with. Dig a good sized hole, the bigger the better (3 feet deep and wide). Mix up 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and the existing soil. Sprinkle in some osmocote three month vegetative time release fertilizer for good measure and fill the hole back in. You could spend more money and mix in better soiless mixes and use better ferts, but that's as simple as it gets for preparing the earth. Of course you will need to water regularly and give more fertilizer..... but that's another day.

IMO three feet is a little excessively deep and you're gonna just end up paying more for soil. I'd say about 16 inches is all the deeper you would ever need it. I do agree though, that in-the-ground beats in a pot/bucket any day of the week.

3x3 is what all the OG outdoor dudes have always suggested in the outdoor section of this site... 2cents

bigger hole will allow u to better amend the area and soil to suit ur needs....plus will give the roots better area to grow and will produce MONSTER plants and buds with more space to grow in..

do you even live in the usa taf. you and your stack of books lmao.(don't know why anyone would listen to you) it's been awhile since i last posted... been busy with all the plants and school. I only pay $50 for dank, sometimes 40. over priced usually means no flush and a lot of chemicals still in it. i plan on having at least 15elbows +. roots do tend to grow more outward but then again i have heard that the roots can 3/4 as long as the plant is tall so who really knows. i have a bag seed plant that when i switched to 18/6 for 24 she showed female lol, she is getting out of hand too. I'm thinking she will be around 20ft tall come harvest. anyone else got things getting out of hand yet?

Peat moss is cheap and you can simply mix it with half native soil anyways. Also, the roots will tend to go deeper if you let it it go dry between waterings in the early stages rather than water constantly on the surface. They need to go down deeper and seek out groundwater this way, and consequently, are more drough proof in the long run and actually require less watering overall. That being said, if you will be running 70 + plants, I wouldn't do a 3 by 3 and would drop down to 2 by 2. But 16 inches is pretty shallow my friend. I'm not right and your not wrong, it's merely a matter of preference I suppose. Best of luck this year people.

i go no smaller than 2x2....4x4 at most but yea its all preference......general rule of thumb with most all plants is that the roots will grow at least 3 times as wide as the crown of the plant...bigger hole will mean more work and amending but u can control the soil a lil better IMO
hope everyones plants are growing well....lets see some pics yall!! the warm weather is coming fast hahaha!!!
