ok so this is my story so far..... i germinated a bunch of seeds and only one cracked, but luckily it was the only dank seed. i planted that a week ago in a sunny place outside in a pot. so far i got a pretty good sprout going. its about 5 inches tall and grows more everyday. im germinating some more just in case its a male.

There are plenty of wild animals like deer, rabbits, raccoon, ect... do i need to worry about them eating my plants? will some chicken wire around my pot be fine to keep the pests away?

what type of bugs do i need to worry about?

how much damage will strong winds and heavy rains hurt my plant?

do i need to worry about a helicopter spotting my plants in the middle of nowhere?

im using a aqua globe right now to keep my plant wet. and its working great. are there any problems with aqua globes?

there is wild hemp and ditch weed growing around this area but none close to my plant. is there a chance that my plant may still be pollinated?

does strong heat damage plants? the highest it gets is around 100 fahrenheit.

Deer love weed
slugs, spider mites
strong winds could completely fuck your plant up
yes you do need to worry about helicopters
yes you don't wanna keep your soil wet all the time
yes your plant can still be pollinated, pollen floats through the air
yes your plant can be damaged from high heat

Yeah, as Jorge Cervante says "plan before you plant". Try planting some similar looking plants around your stuff for a little camouflage. Your plant should be capable of surviving up to 40'c Celsius.

In my opinion, especially with a single plant, grow it indoors. Therefor you can control everything. No bugs/diseases, no pollination, adequate lighting, correct temp & air flow and smell is kept indoors.

yes. you can buy non-toxic sprays meant for vegetables to keep deer, etc. away

what type of bugs do i need to worry about?
all that have six legs and are herbivores. seriously, just like with animal spray there are non-toxic bug sprays meant for vegetables.

how much damage will strong winds and heavy rains hurt my plant?
your plant's not likely to survive a hurricane, but if you're just talking normal storms then weed is a pretty hardy plant. you wouldn't want to plant sprouts on an exposed ridge but you're not going to do that anyway for security.

do i need to worry about a helicopter spotting my plants in the middle of nowhere?
absolutely, positively not for a small grow.

im using a aqua globe right now to keep my plant wet. and its working great. are there any problems with aqua globes?
no, but you can buy adapters for 2 liter soda bottles that make them into auto waterers with a lot more capacity than an aqua globe.

there is wild hemp and ditch weed growing around this area but none close to my plant. is there a chance that my plant may still be pollinated?
a female weed plant can be pollenated only by a male or herm weed plant.

does strong heat damage plants? the highest it gets is around 100 fahrenheit.
it can but there are probably hundreds of thousands if not millions of plants growing outside where it gets to 100 in the summer.
