outdoor growing supply list

so far for my outdoor growing i have:

- DuPont 6'x50 landscape weed defense
- chicken wire and lumber to set up fence
- perlite
- nuetral or 3 month slow release soil
- tomato food miracle grow
- bloom booster
- soil ph testing kit

am i missing anything important?

yes, simplicity.

don't make outdooring growing anymore complicated than it has to be. if someone happens upon the crop, whether it be on your land or off, you want plausible deniability. and i would seriously recommend that you add 'land rover' to the list, cuz i think its a bad idea to plant on your own property, out in the open, as you seem to be thinking about doing. if this is your property then you should at least set-up a makeshift greenhouse to obscure visibility.

preferably find a place not on your property that has decent soil, so that all it needs is fertilized with a chemical water soluble fertilizer a few times throughout the season. and deer and rabbit repellant if you forego the fencing as i have suggested. and insect repellant like 'sevin' no matter which way you do, applied weekly, and after each rain.

the M.G. for tomatoes is just fine for the outdoor grow.

yea its not on my property, and it is hidden in a forrest. so what your saying is rather than setting up a fence get animal repelents?

deer can mow down some pretty big plants... and they like ganja... but by the time your plant is about 4 feet tall it has enough cystolith hairs to be a bit less palatable. Start early (immediately) with the deer and rabbit repellant cuz rabbits love baby ganja.

if its not your property... its your call as to whether or not you want to set up a fence. plausible deniability (about it possibly being a natural or untended grow) goes right out the window, and it would see to draw more attention to the plants as well, having a fence around them.

Till the soil in the garden, treat with dolomite lime, do this preferably several weeks before plants are introduced.

Several cubic yards of peat moss to aid drainage and add aeration to the soil.

No perlite, you don't want to advertise.

alright. ill probly stick with the replents and forget about the fence. thanks for the help

"What grow room?"

as for the fence, that seems like a very bad idea, sure it MIGHT keep away some animals, but it WILL attract somebody who might just be walking through the forest your growing in. without a fence they prob wont even know thier weed plants

i had a homie who made a fence out of fishing line just wrapped around trees a whole bunch of times. he said it worked and i bet it wasnt eye-catching.

lol yea, but that seems way to inconvenient

not half as inconvieneint as deer-eaten herb. i doubt it took more than 12 minutes to make. dont tell me your gonna be one of those guys who plants some seeds and thinks its gonna start raining weed. lol

Haha this isn't my first grow i'd rather stick with repellents

right on....never ventured outdoors myself. been thinkin about doin it with some autoflowers so i can avoid the fall rippers.

If this isn't out in the middle of nowhere, repellents are not fail safe.

If it is a populated area the deer and varmints are used to smelling people, dog piss, all kinds of unnatural scents. They will eventually ignore even heavy repelant and come on in for a ganj salad when they are hungry.

I've learned this lesson the hard way, maybe you won't have to.

Fishing line: will keep out deer, if done right. Several lines across every opening to the patch, from the ground up to 4 ft.

Chicken wire: with the bottom few inches buried will keep out wascally wabbits, rats, groundhogs, and most anything else with four legs. It doesn't need to to be more than 2 feet tall. Should be removed as the plant is big enough to be out of harm's way. If you can't get away with chicken wire the first month or so, the spot is probably getting pirated in the fall anyways.

yeah the fishing line fence thing works great for me.. all i do is just go from one tree to the next and get 2 trees that are closer together to use as a passage into it.. i usually put 4-5 rounds of line around the grow so then i know nothing is getting in.. 2 rounds near the ground(rabbits) and more higher up (deer) never had a prob with them eating anything yet soo it must work

yea im sure the deer are used to the smells. im getttin pretty mixed messages right now still dunno whats best. i was thinkin about settin up chicken wire and spray paiting the posts black so they're less noticeable.

or you could use trees with the tops still on them as posts.. that way they blend in and all you have to do is just bury the stick in the hole..

I'm from the East, we have a lot of deer here; a lot of the locals get away with human urine as a deer repellent. The first summer I attempted to grow outside, me and my friend were walking through very tall grass (like 4 feet-ish) to tend to the plants and my buddy literally tripped over a deer. It was a baby deer laying in the grass, needless to say I found the mommy red-handed moments later... She just had finished eating the last bit of my plants- EVERY single one of them! The deer had eaten every plant, leaving maybe an inch of stem, solid reminders that precaution should be taken.
I hate deer! Sure, I'm growing in the wild, in "their" habitat but humans are mammals too, and Earth is our fucking habitat as well. Deer love to eat cannabis & I love to grow it/smoke it, so I guess it's just a race of the "fittest"... the way I see it.
Being from a small town in the East (), I KNOW for a fact that deer can jump straight over fences, even at 7-8 ft. in height (something to think about if you are thinking of building a barrier); if you have had good results building fences of fishing string, then it's more likely that the "human" smell (that you left behind after staying around long enough to build the fence) repelled the animals (especially deer), rather than the fence itself... except cases like SmileyD mentioned where the animals have become more domesticated and unafraid of humans.
Good Growing.
