No sir it's not too humid or wet. Good spots are also abundant.
Rolling hills everywhere.
Forest land everywhere.
Even mountainous areas.
If you're planting in ground you may or may not have a bit of work to do. Some places can be just nothing but clay and others nice fine dark earth. Nothing a little elbow grease won't fix anyways.
If you're growing in pots or 5 gallon buckets then the ground is a complete non issue.
The only thing you have to worry about are the summer droughts and those 100+ degree days. So just be ready to give them an afternoon watering. If they look a bit wilted in the morning or afternoon then hit them for sure. In several more hours they'll be looking ugly if you don't.
Plants thrive extremely well in TN though. I have a friend of a friend who actually just sticks em in random places and lets nature do it's business.
So yes TN is a great place to grow. Your biggest enemies are 1 wildlife 2 hunters and 3 Leo.
If you're going gorilla always follow first rule. Tell no one period. Have no help. Don't ''share'' a grow with a buddy. Don't even give em a general location.

It's too late in the season to start one I'm thinking. Not to mention the day time hours are getting shorter and shorter. So they wouldn't get all the sun they otherwise would be if you just waited. Cold snap will also hit in late Nov til around Feb. One thing about the weather here it's EXTREMELY fickle during the winter months and into early spring. Don't take your girls outside just because there's been a warm front. Like take spring of 12 for instance. Had a nice warm front that hit. It was so good it confused wildlife and plant life. Trees were blooming in early feb and there were even fireflies out. Frogs were spawning and so were fish. There was talk on NPR about how farmers were going ahead and planting crops with no problem. I put 12 girls out that had been hanging out indoors for 5 weeks and started another 15. Put them out 3 weeks later. Then out of nowhere a bad cold snap came through. Temps dropped down to almost freezing at night and thick frost that lasted about 2 weeks. The first batch pulled through it but they were older and established. I was happy about that. Didn't get my hopes up for the second batch. Went to check on them and there was one left. I left it to itself. Went back in July just out of curiosity and needless to say it was gone. So putting em out early because the weather man says so is risk vs reward. Its usually risk>reward.
You probably could put them out if you did some sort of a mini green house set up and kept temps okay. But like I stated earlier it probably just wouldn't get enough sun to do anything. This is also my second grow too. My first where everything was left totally up to me. I don't consider myself experienced enough in growing to give any sort of deep advise but 15 years here has shown me the seasons are like a bi polar girlfriend..................who flips a coin to decide if she's gonna take her meds or not that week lol. You'll be wearing shorts, sandals, and T-shirt in the beginning of Feb and jeans and a coat 2 weeks later. Then lounging in a swimming pool 2 weeks after that.
One thing you CAN count on is a crazy hot end to spring and an awesome summer that'll make some amazing plants. Put my last small batch out in June 1st and they're about ready to pull. Those are gonna be the couch lock girls if they don't get hit by lightning or something.
Here's good prep work to think about. If you're going to place them on your farm then go somewhere and get LOTS of private property/no trespassing signs. Put them up around the borders of your property. Any entrances and exits to it. If a stream runs into your property put them there as well. Hunters follow streams looking for deer trails. Not to mention deer trails themselves. That should keep hunters out. Trespassing in TN vs AZ are 2 different ballgames. Residents here know that if they're creeping around somewhere with signs posted they're running the risk of being shot at if they're spotted. A lot of people open carry and most male old timers CC.
Now I'll cover Leo. From what I've observed with choppers you won't see them a lot. In mid spring you'll spot them. Then usually around August you'll see them making rounds again. For the most part they stick to TVA reforested areas and buzz along them. So just make sure to not leave stuff around.
Now when it comes to dealing with them personally you're in for a real treat. TN is in fact ran by the Good Ol' Boy system. If you're outside of major cities limits (Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nashville and Memphis)just assume that they're all dirty. Small town police have little to no major crimes outside of Methmonkeys and pillzombies taking anything that isn't bolted and cemented into the ground. And that's if they haven't scrapped their bolt cutters.
They can and will change up statements and literally twist them into something horrid. Don't count on cruiser dash cams to go in your favor. If it could then chances are it'll vanish. Then the DA will say ''So you're saying my officer is a liar?'' Then you'll get a smug grin that'll make you want to slap the taste out of their mouths. Good news is it's a one party recording state. Take that into consideration. It's your ace in the hole.
In a worse case scenario you'll get put through the ringer legally. The good/bad part is that 99% of the time they'll drop anything that isn't sexual assault or murder down from a Felony to a Misdemeanor after several dates (racking up court costs) Then you'll walk out with a hefty fine and some probation time. Which ends when your legal fines are paid off. I suggest biting the bullet and doing it in one shot to get it out of the way. You can go to public hearings and just watch for yourself. It's actually pretty hilarious and good entertainment. It'll also make you sick when you see some punk who robbed a few people blind, stole a car and went on a 2 county chase walk out whistling dixie with a 5000$ fine, probation and community service.
That pretty much covers the negative things to look out for and worry about.
The upside is a long sunny grow season. If you're into outdoor style things it's a great place to be.
Hiking, boating, camping and fishing are great. The music scene is very active. Lots of music festivals. A few good stadiums for live commercial bands. Good food and hot country girls.

Yeah you're right smack in the middle of Good Ol' Boy central there. Stay clear of Rhea and Roane Co. Roane Co I'd avoid like the plague. Rhea Co = Murica! FUCK YEAH! Also DO NOT SPEED through Spring City. Not even 5mph over. You'll get hit with blue lights. They sit at the park there down the hwy from Crossville at the bottom of the mountain and one both ends of 27 in town.
One party recording pretty much sums up as one person in the video or recording had to consent to being recorded. Aka you can consent yourself and keep rolling.
I came down the Hwy from Crossvegas a few weeks ago and sure enough smelled some flowers. Beautiful country up there. Since you're up on top of the mountain there you'll get plenty of sun. If you go down low in winter there's a good 20 degree difference in temps. You get snow and harsh winds lol. I've done a lot of hiking out there and only once did I brave a trek in winter. Long Johns and thick socks will be your savior through winter there + electric blanket.
When it comes to music festivals there's Riverbend and Bonnarou or however you spell it. ''Bon - uh - roo'' lol. Mostly hippy, rock and bluegrass festivals. That'd be Chattanooga. Your stadium shows will be in Knoxville and Nashville. I stay away from Memphis. Gatlinburge can be ok for live theater stuff. It's a quirky tourist trap.
Sativa's would be good for outdoors there. The winds up there may cause some problems but it won't be too bad. You'll get some monsters if you lst em through our long summers. I'm sure Indicas would thrive as well. I'd probably lean more towards Sats but hey try both and see what happens. Humidity will always be a factor. Summer nights usually cool off to 70s and 80s so they'll get some nice downtime at night. Maybe a little cooler in your neck of the woods due to elevation.
Just keep an eye on your stuff around there. Unemployment is pretty bad and there's plenty of thieves who sneak around rural areas there. Copper thieves etc. ATVs & motorcycles are heavy hit targets. If you have a barn and stash things of value in there secure it and rig up an audio alarm like a driveway alarm or something around em.
If you wanna see some nice scenery in winter though wait til it's frigid temps out. Then go to Piney Falls or Ozone Falls. Frozen Waterfalls = pretty cool to see.

lots of good growing in tn. just outside of knoxville is an area famous for bud production. but best to stay indoors.
