Houston we have a problem (Indiana growers help?)

[chRONNIE]

I recently moved my plants from my mom's garden to a spot in the woods to my liking. Now my problem wasn't necessarily that, but I think living in southern Indiana (limestone country) is. Growing roughly 100 yards away from one of the hundreds of quarries around here I'm not sure how or if the limestone sediment affects my plants yet. It's only been a day..just worrying too much.

did you stick em in the ground or in pots, or in pots in the ground, and f you stuck them in ground did you use your own soil mix or what came from the hole? f your using a good soil mx and are in pots or ground youll be ok

[chRONNIE]

I dug some good sized holes and used some walmart soil. About how far down will roots usually go?

[Ill420]

the roots will go about a foot or two down. i wouldnt trust the soil thats there so definately take care of this cause the problem won't manifest until the end of your grow and all your time will be wasted

[chRONNIE]

Good! My holes are about a foot and a half to two feet deep. I started a grow earlier this year, but an animal seemed to think my plants were tasty and tore them up.

yeah i had the same problem with birds and squirrels. i went out and got a role of chiken wire for like five bucks and made a cirle around the plants and covered the top with chicken wire too. hold it together with twist ties. it'll let the light in and the holes are so small that almost no animal can get through.

ya dude im a fellow grower in indiana and where i am clay is a problem but u should be fine but those tornadoes/storms ripped apart/killed damn near 20 of my plants :[

good luck tho!

[chRONNIE]

Yeah that shit was crazy I heard. I just slept through it all. Worked from 2 till 5 this morning. That's 15 fucking hours! My buddy luckily grabbed about 9 plants and threw them under my deck to keep them safe..BTW I got 3 operations going with different friends this year. Just thought I'd try and up the odds a bit.

And don't get me started on that fucking clay.

hah dude the school district in my county is carmel CLAY schools lol we r named after dirt? but ya u should do alright i had one plant in the shad n shitty soil and it actually is doing better than id thought i think direct suns more important and jus like water soluble nutes

i suggest MG nutes get the 30-10-10 (blue box) and 15-30-15 (yellow) these r the best!!


ps id thank ur buddy cuz i even had plants a few weeks old and they died....my biggest one that i topped was sooo brittle after the storm i went to put it back to LST it because the coat hanger was torn up that wen i bent the branch the main stem split lol but it will survive!

best of luck

thats y i love pots.

dont have to worry about the shitty ground soil that your plot is at
can EASILY move you plants if you think you need to, which you actually might
its basically your marijuanas house, so watever you put in it, is for better or for worse (hopefully for better)

CANADA ROCKS (no tornados, no hurricanes)
