I live in Massachusetts and I want to start a few gorrilla grows in a few wooded areas near by. I am going to start an outdoor treetop grow ASAP to take advantage of what is left of the summer.
The short version of this thread:
Q1) What soil for outdoors in Mass? Should I make my own with potting soil, perlite, and verm?
Q2) Can I put 2-3 plants in a 5 gallon home depot style camo pot? If not can I put at least 2 plants in the 5 gallon pot?
The long version of this thread:
I currently have 6 indoor northern lights 5 plants going and I have had nothing but success indoors.
I recently purchased a book called Invisibe Marijuana and there is a section devoted to tree top growing. I really like the idea and I would like to give it a try.
The only problems I am running into are what type of potting mix to use for outdoors and how many plants can I fit in one pot.
The author recommends a mix of 40% potting soil, 30% perlite and 30% verm. This seems a like it would drain too fast and there would not be enough water in the pots for the plant(s) to grow so they would die. I would like to put a little more research and get some advice before I put money into it and more importantly before I waste the summer on a bum outdoor grow that could have been sweet.
The mixture will have dolomite lime added (1oz per gallon) and time release ferts will be used (he recommends 14-14-14, 3-4 month fert by Scotts).
I appreciate any responses and advice given.
