Weekly Tip: April week 2 – Pick the Proper Outdoor Site

Site preparation for your outdoor plot, will not only entail rich fertile soil, proper sun (the buds must have at least 5-6 hours of direct mid-day sun to produce a decent harvest) and water, it also must be a secure location. Select a remote location, away from the prying eyes of “cops and robbers”. Also be aware of pests and critters, such as wood rats, wild pigs, deer, etc. A good deterrent is a 9 foot heavy gauge vineyard fencing, buried about 1 foot underground.

Spring is at hand, keep your indoor/outdoor/greenhouse areas as tidy as possible. Spring cleaning involves sweeping and “bleaching” down grow room/greenhouse walls in between flower cycles. Instead of using typical bleach, we use 1 ounce of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water. (Be sure to wear gloves when using HP)

Remove brush piles and weeds. This leaves fewer places for pests to hide.
