smoking and usage

Default · #1 (**permalink**) 01-20-2007, 12:47 AM

For this year, I had a few outdoor grow plans in mind. Would it be possible to grow underground for stealth purporses? The area I live in is a very small town with a lot of traffic. Finding a good, stable, sunny grow spot around here is nearly impossible without creativity. I was thinking maybe digging a 6 ft. ditch using plywood as walls. On top of the ditch will be a layer of thin wire mesh to prevent any wild life from falling in. If I were to use this plan in a very sunny spot, do you think it can be done?

I've been searching the grow forums for a full year, absorbing so much, but I need expertise from an experienced/knowledgable grower. If this plan is no good, do any growers have any tips they can share for stealth outdoor growing?

Thanks.

Yeh, what if it floods from a rain storm?

Nice idea - But wont the sun only hit the plants when it's almost directly overhead ?

Your best bet would be to line the inside with something highly reflective and durable - white paint (on your plywood) would probably do the trick.
This would increase the small amount of light your plants got.
Secondly, you could start the plants in your pit, but then they really would get no light. You could either raise them up to the top of the pit, or grow them aboveground until they got a few feet tall and you could put a table in there or something.

As far as flooding goes, you should dig a trench along the inside walls of the pit for the rainwater to collect into. Or do little terraces like a potato plot.

don't you want to give your plant optimal growth potential? y be another newb grower trying to skim by with bare minimum

dude no.....the plant needs sun all day, shade cause the plant to stretch with slow branch growth

instead of digging that huge crater in the ground, put the effort into digging multiple 2x2 ft holes and fill with organic soil, think realisticly, as marijuana only grows in a realistic manner

If you can't grow outdoors in your area, grow indoors
