I have a spot in the middle of the woods with a huge hill, no trees around it, good light, no one goes back there. Just look for good light and a place no one really goes to and you're set for the most part. At least in my experiences. Also you may want to put up a small fence for animals

I have a feeling that'd work well, just look for a place with good light, perhaps the high ground (pun intended) and that should be good, also check to make sure there isn't any major insect magnets nearby, like rotting trees and stuff, if there is get a natural pesticide. Here's one I was thinking of using for my grow if you're interested

That mite be one of my biggest problems. thanx for the input

chicken wire would work alot better. and i use tomato cages and they work wonders

Look for plants that are closest to marijuana in nutrient levels and light requirements in your area. Like for instance around where I live bull nettle is the closest plant in those requirements. Which is perfect because those nasty little buggers keep away everything from deer, rabbits, coyotes, hogs, and pesty rednecks lol. If you do have those around you though don't plant too too close to it though because it's poisonous. Keep it at least like 10-15 feet away from your actual grow spot. Hope that helped some.

how high of a fence do you think you need to put to keep the majority of critters out? I would want to keep the fence as small as possible so that my locale is as inconspicuous as possible... like, two feet plenty? I'm sure most critters could jump over that, but would it be enough to deter them from your experience?

two feet is fine, i spray painted mine and blends in fine. and also try to get bear pee, nothing goes near it haha

Fishing line works great for deer...2' and 4' heights. I like using rotten eggs in water with garlic and hot peppers around the perimeter as well. Also, pee in a water bottle and add a cotton ball or two and put some holes in the lid. These methods have worked in the worst of environments.

Nothing says "I'm growing weed right here" like chicken wires and fences and shit. The two biggest variables to consider when choosing an outdoor spot are light and water. Water is heavy and they've been said to respond better to the morning light. Where I live the sun goes from North-East to South-West but mainly East to West so if I plant on a hill it's usually on the East side.
