yea pots heat up very quickly on a sunny day, and need water very often. As far as selecting a good site goes, Walk a couple miles deep into the woods, at least a couple miles from the the closet sign of human kind, beer cans, garbage, four wheeler trails etc, anything that came from man. You want to find an area that nobody else will visit your entire grow season and potentially the following years after. Known fact, man and animal take the path of least resistance while walking through the woods, why walk through a ten foot wall of thorns and bristles when you could walk another way? exactly, go to the thickest areas where people DO NOT want to walk. Sunlight is key, 5-6 hours plus of direct sunlight is ideal. The simplest method to make a plant grow is to amend the soil with manure. cow manure has some very nice nutrients and can sustain a marijuana plant very well. you might want to add some peat moss or something to add to the soil to make it fluffy. DIg a 2x2 foot hole for each plant and put a 5 gallon bucket worth of soil amendments into the 2x2 foot hole, and mix well. Do not leave trails, I dont know how many times Ive heard of people losing plants, most likely due to new growers going back every single day to check on them, leaving a trail as plain day for anybody to follow, and they will. Theres a lot of information and everybody does their own thing and swears by it but you have to find out for yourself what works best. got any more questions, shoot.
