good choice on the swamp. Ive been growing outdoors for 4 years now. in a 45,000 acre swamp. catch me if u can.

I used to grow in the Great Dismal Swamp, talk about a lot of nasty shit. I knew those fucking bogs better than anyone though. That's the most important part of outdoor growing. Knowing your routes.

 

[billybob88]

Well, that is the most important part, knowing your routes. But also covering your routes. Dont want a stray hunter or hiker running into your crop. gotta keep your routes to your spot open and clean.

actually if your in the right location, and right soil. plants can explode. a couple years ago. i planted in may. came back in late june and had 10+ foot tall palnts. well hurricanes hit and washed my plants away into the swamp. you have alot of ?. let me see if i can answer them. Bugs can be a problem if u dont take proper precautions with your crop, we have been having dry past 2 years in FLA so enough h20 could be a problem. They dont give a shit about the heat IMO. Im no expert on outdoor FLA grow. but i know enough. its just like anywhere else, just alot more attention t bugs and what not.

I used a lot of fine black mesh to cover plants and wolf piss on my outdoor grows. Human hair works too in warding off weed-eaters. I actually had a cottonmouth that lived near the base of my plant. I was scared to fuck with it and I don;t really kill animals. So I kept him there for security. Even named him "Scrappy" because he was always so violent.

 

[natrone23]

yeah the lack of rain prob will be my biggest concern, but I plan on mixing in some moisture absorbing crystals into the soil, and also when I visit give them a good watering, and if there is a drought i can always make more frequent visits for emergency watering, What type of soil did you use? was there enough nutes in the soil to last the season? because I,m hopeing to plant mine and let them grow without manualy nuteing them, and let them live off the soil

 

[billybob88]

You can do what ur talkin bout, but you need to check on your plants AT LEAST every 6-7 days. If not, somethin could overun your plants like apeshit.

Is Orlando still considered Hick Country?

I do Remember running in the middle of the night in the gated community on Hypoluxo and dixie and being stopped by some guy wearing marti gras beads drunk as hell. He asked me to come in and hang out with his friends, So wearing my running gear I got drunk, smoked some awesome dank and they taught me how to play darts.

Maybe I needed to live there longer... the water view was beautiful.

 

[billybob88]

Dude, Florida is hick country. have you ever been to a spring?

 

[GreenLight]

Maybe when I was younger, and yes I'm aware of the population out there. But not all Central and North FL is woods... there is some civilization. I do hope you can keep your swamps, isn't it people like you with land passed down from generations that fold and sell their land to developers... Yet I'll agree... Ill stick to staying put. If I desire the privacy and seclusion I'll move to another state. I was born and raised here and I hear enough stories about how unwelcomed "strangers" are to your neck of the woods.

 

[billybob88]

very well said green light. only if i could go into detail about my involvemnt and love for this state. your right there isnt alot fo central and nfl left of woods. i know springs that i have been to all my life and now are being threatened. you want privacy. 68,000 acres.

 

[iblazethatkush]

Why you talking shit about South Floridians you bitch ass...I'm coming to north central florida in March if you like it or not.

 

[iblazethatkush]

And I don't give a shit if it's hick country. That's what I'm looking for. Lots of woods, few neighbors, cheap property. Sounds good to me...And you don't think there's rednecks in S. Florida? I didn't go a day without seeing a confederate flag flying out of somebody's truck. And I had a lot of redneck friends. Took their trucks muddin, owned 4 wheelers and dirt bikes most of my life, the whole 9 yards. I think you got a misconception of S. Florida. It isn't all Miami, dude.

 

[billybob88]

well thank you for correcting me, This state is amaizng man. i didnt hate on s fl to hard lol. i think us as a state should bind. we have one of the most unique states in the union. Go Gators!

 

[iblazethatkush]

Your right about that, man. Florida is the greatest place in the world. I've been out here in Cali almost two years now. I can't wait to be back in the great state of Florida in March

 

[billybob88]

thats why u gotta know about springs that are back in the woods. that the park service doesnt know about. that no one knows about. so u can have em all to yourself.

I cant believe there are that many floridians,cocoabeach here,surf use too be better though unless you go the inlets.nice too see some surfers.

Used to hit new Smyrna all the time. Till those damn sharks got smarter and realized the coast was a nice place to chomp. bah. I think this message board is mostly florida/nevada/california.
