Alright, living in TN there's not much to do other than smoke. Did guerilla growing for a few years until I got snakebit walking to my crop and barely got to the hospital in time. Got a little gunshy after that, so I haven't tried growing the last 2 years. Wasn't planning on doing it this year either, but I found a particularly beautiful black seed in my bag and just *HAD* to plant it, September be damned 
Due to the lateness of the season, I'm only starting this plant outside before moving it inside for the bulk of winter. This will undoubtedly be my guinea pig/ test plant for next year, as this will be the first plant I've actually watched. My old method was to just sprout about 50, walk back into the woods, plant them and leave alone for 4 months, then go back and locate/harvest the 3 or 4 plants that survived.
I guess I'll get to the point. There's a picture of the current plant below, but these questions are mostly to prepare for next year. Don't know if the plant's normal looking or not, any comments on it would be appreciated.
1) What strains grow well in the heat and humidity of TN? Preferably strains that can handle the TN clay, as they invariably get transplanted outside. Water isn't an issue as there's a free-flowing creek nearby.
2)The spot I've picked out this time is a natural dome- Tall trees around in a circle with the branches covering the sightline from helicopters. The ground level itself is currently clear and yields a yearly wild strawberry patch. The sunlight isn't partcularly harsh, but it is well lit. Will this spot work?
3)I've heard using Hydrogen Peroxide and water mixed together works as a natural bug repellent.... Anyone know if it works or if it's harmful to my plants? I string clothesline at three different heights to keep deer away, so insects are my only problem. Maybe rabbits, but I've no idea how to keep those away. I'd prefer to keep things as natural and organic as possible
Edit- Current plant is 16 days old, vegetable spikes and superthrive for nutrients.
