So I have my outdoor spot ready to go. I've got 3 bag seed females that have shown sex...hopefully not autoflowering. Got 4 Ice seeds, from Nirvana, yet to show sex. My soil mix is as follows: 7 bags of 1.5 cubic feet of "Patio Plus Outdoor Soil" This soil already contains worm castings, bat guano, chicken manure and a lot of other goodies. I added tomato fertilizer, more guano, lime, peat moss, perlite, a small handfull of polymer crystals, and more worm castings to all the bags. Should be alright yes?
Now, I will have two locations. Holes dug in the ground, soil mixed in. Once the soil is in the ground and the plants are ready to be put in I wanted to put about 1.5 inches more worm castings over the top as a mulch. I read on the package that this is ok...but i was thinking it could possibly burn the plants?
I just bought a GPS...garmin extrex legend cx or somethign like that because the location of my spot will be difficult to locate at night. My main concern is watering. I wont be able to water the plants very often. If i needed to I could go there two times a month, but I'd like to stay away as much as possible. SOO I was wondering.... with the peat moss mixed in the soil, some polymer crystals, and the wormcastings as mulch, how long could i expect not to water with average days ranging from 75 - 80ºF and low wind??
I also bought a block of cocofiber. Its about a 3 lb block that you add 5 gallons of water to and it absorbs it all. I was going to lay about a 2-3 inch thick layer of this stuff around each plant. And to retain even more water i was thinking of placing large rocks/stones on top of the soil, below coco brick, to stop even more evaporation. Withe this set up I'm optimistic that i won't have to water but once a month??? hopefully??haha
Look forward to the responses, thanks. Oh, and coming from cannabis culture forum...this one rocks in comparison! lol
