Well in that case id say aim for the hills cause water is the only real issue, and if thats not an issue for you, then you may aswell grow some monsters!

I think you may have more of a variety of bugs, yes we do have Mites and more critters that eat plants at a young age , but THC is a natural bug inhibitor, the resins pot make are to repel animals and insects so as to protect the plants seeds. I have had Great luck with "Garden Safe Fungicide 3"an organic fungicide, insecticide and miticide (neem oil base) during the pre flower and flowering phase.

One thing Iāve been wondering with indoors vs outdoors, even with the exact same strain indoors plants seem to be so much more susceptible to hermie. My guess is basically what @Donaldj stated at the very start, outdoors plants have no choice but to harden up from the very start, Iāve gone out to my grow countless times and theyāve been wilting away due to no water, theyāve handled weeks of 35-40.C temps, and countless bug attacks from what it seems like every bug known to man, but they hang in there and continue doing there thing.

Unfortunately its either guerrilla grow in the bush, which Iām sick of doing, or own a big property with plenty of room to hide themā¦ If youāve got the right environment, then growing outdoors can be a rewarding thing to do
@Hogmaster And you donāt have to pay for the lighting growing outdoors 
I want to try some autos next season, just a few mid season to see how they go. Never grown blueberry so thinking of trying that

I completely understand that fortunately I have a gentleman that allows me to mushroom hunt on his 200 acres of wooded and I just happen to playing a few seats next to the creek that has a natural stream been doing it for several years I told him when I go out morel mushroom hunting I will give him half of anything again and I think itās been 10 years and I giving 5 pounds to 20 pounds a year so he is happy to let me do my thing I donāt make a mess I donāt leave trash Iām respectable to his land just wish it was my land
Okay @Donaldj I have only had one grow but the three plants were all treated different. Do to room I almost got rid of one plant but @ktreez420 encouraged me to experiment on it instead
it is shocking what they can survive .

Youāll actually think Iām full of it but Iāve been using Foxfarm ocean soil and I did not use any nutrients at all I use distilled water pH between 5.8 and 6.8 use 3 gallon smart Pots and I used primarily to 1700 lm CFLās and three 300 W meizhi led lights and a cheap tent I bought off of Amazon and I do start out in a solo cup and I do transfer my autos they say itās bad for a and a cheap tent I bought off of Amazon and I do start out in a solo cup and I do transfer my autos they say itās bad for them but Iāve never had any issues but Iāve only grown 4
But I did buy a 600 W meizhi led in November and that helped a lot so 30 days in to my autos they doubled in size which theyāre supposed to do but I had 1500 W of LEDs in a 4ā x 2ā x 5ā grow tent

I intentionally bend and break branches to create knuckles like that they increase nutrient flow and make limbs stronger easier to support nugs Iād spend hours a day massaging each limb if I were growing larger and less plants
