This is my first post on rollitup! I love this site it has tons of answers.
Anyways, I am planning on having my first grow this summer in Michigan. I still live with my parents, but that shouldn't be a problem since it's a guillera grow.
This is my rough overview plan (I am posting it so people who know more about this can help edit it)
I've researched outdoor growing a ton so I know a good amount of info.
A little ways from my house there is a forest that goes pretty deep and not many people wander back in there. There is a shallow creek running through the entire forest. I haven't found my exact location yet since we have 2 feet of snow. So here's the rough draft of my plan:
I am going to buy about 6 plastic pots that have holes in the bottom instead of soil so I can move them if needed. For a medium I'm going to buy regular gardening soil like miracle grow and fill all 6 pots. I'll put about 6-8 seeds in 5 of my pots. I'll get to the 6th pot later.
For water, I'm either going to use the cut the bottom of a 2 liter bottle and make a small hole in the cap method, and put one in each pot. Or, I would like to take advantage of the stream and set up some kind of simple irrigation system. (ideas for that would be very much appreciated. It's about 6 inches deep at most and has a small but definitely moving current)
for lighting of course I'll use the sun and I'll just have to find a spot in the woods where the sun shines the most. I'm thinking I'll put my plants inside a patch of some shrubs to hide them because there are a lot of little patches of weeds and bushes I'm this area.
The topic I lack the most knowledge about is nutrients. I will probably just get some basic nutrients in powder form and either do something like 20-10-10 for vegetative growth, then try using 10-20-20 (or similar) for flowering.
Or something like 30-15-15 for vegetative growth, then try using 15-30-30 (or similar) for flowering. (got that from another site. Recommended Types of nutes would be nice!!)
I'll just add the amount to the water. I'm not sure how long the water will last I'm guessing about a week?
So that is my very rough overview. If there are things wrong or anything please help! And please recommend soil and nutrient types, along with a system to water it so I only have to check up on them every week or so.
Any help is greatly appreciated and sorry this is so unorganized, I kept thinking of things to add and I wrote in on my iPhone
thanks again!!
