I have to get some tips off you for bush grows. I'm contemplating a big outdoor grow this season and it's going to be extremely remote so I can only visit the plot once a fortnight . My only concern is pests and water

First thing you need is mesh . steel or string. It has to be painted brown or green. Its going to be a hot summer so all plants should be in holes not pots. All holes must have at least 6 litres of pre mixed water crystals. All strains must be sativa dominant . make atleast 5 patches with only 10 plants per patch.

Water is the number 1 problem to solve.

People tend to use water ways.....dont ya hate people?

Tarps with the corners tied up work well as dams. I used a smaller tarp to feed a 260L wheely bin last year.

Yeas water is my main problem. I have options close to water but that also brings with it more issues such as other growers/rippers,roos,pigs and police also search near water from chopers.i have really thought hard about my spot and it is very remote .its about 25ks from a hot spot of tourists near a swimming hole and bout 60ks from the closest house and 90ks from the nearest town. The only people who would bother going out to where I will be growing is forestry workers or other growers. Even then you have to walk into the bush. Its in a nature strip between pine rows and the strip is about 800-1000 meters wide and about 6ks long .im yet to actually go to said spot and check out the soil and how wet/dry the spot is.. Google Earth is a hell of a thing haha

Would a mix of pre soaked water crystals and peat be a good water source or just straight water crystals?. Would you throw some snail pellets around your patch? Time release ferts yes or no?

snail pellets kill wildlife.- thats bad by the way.

Yes, the tomato time release ferts work OK
 
Just another tip. When you have finalised your plot/s spend a good amount of time exploring around it. You need to find at least 2 ways into it (preferable more) as tracks form surprisingly fast. Also its actually easy to get busy and not norice the time an its real easy to get lost if you havent sussed the landmarks out.
I did a grow in the mid 90s, about 50 plants and ended up lost as fk coming out on a cloudy night. Belive it or not i followed my dog who bushed bashed in a straight line to the car...still amaze's me to this day, we came out right on the old XD's bonnet.. Sub tropical tassie bush is pretty thick.

And never show your mates your patch. Never talk to your mates about your patch.

You grown many autos out doors matehow do they go

This is my third proper go with autos outdoors . my last one was just breeding this one there going strong. I'm testing out the heat. Trying greenhouses and full open sun. Each 45 pot takes 10 litres of water twice a week. I give my autos a half strength power feed at 7 days old. My biggest ones are about 20 inches tall. Some plants love the sun others don't . the smallest pot you should grow a auto in is 10 litres. Most of mine are in 25 to 45 litre pots. I also have 30 auto ultimates x ghost train haze 1 at least 50 percent of them will be auto flowering. The biggest pure auto ultimates should reach between 3 and 4 foot tall. I'm only after about 30 grams per auto. But other growers are getting between 110 and 250 grams per auto ultimate outdoors. The reason I chose it was because of the good reviews of outdoor yields. There very happy with powerfeed fertilizer. After seeing the pics of your plants indoors I'm sure you will smash it with autos outdoors.

Best tip given to me about finding a good spot for a patch was to trek till your exhausted then keep going for another hour. It's all about prep for a good bush grow we move a lot of stuff in around April /May and that saves smashing a path in when you are actually growing,and use full mesh pens. Those little water pumps that run of a battery drill are handy to move water around to. And you can build your own dams in gullies and stuff and line it with plastic pond liner
