If you don't water your plants for that long, it will severly stunt there growth. I done 1 like that and it never got bigger than 2 feet. I suggest you get a 5-gallon bucket that has a small hose coming out the bottom of it. this way you could fill it with water and it would constantly drip. Color the bucket green.

I'm getting mixed signals here, but I'm going to try it anyway. I guess I'll just have to report back to you guys at the end of the summer.



Cool, I'll probably just throw some crystals about 1' into the ground or so and then put some others on top covered by mulch. Hope that will work
Why cant it work, its not like weed has had humans by the balls since the beginning of time. It grows naturally on its own.

What about this though, if you planted it directly in the ground and you planted it by a river or pond or something with alot of water wouldn't it absorb some water through the ground?

I really doubt it can last that long, yes herb has grown in the wild but in parts of the world where there is ample rainfall. I'll say it again, you think FDD's plants can last 7 weeks in the ground with no water? No way...

get a few 2 litter bottles and make your own. poke a very little hole in the cap and the stick in the ground. it well water longer then a aqua globe. good luck.

Good thought, but I already have a spot, and it's not that close to any body of water

It doesn't mean there wont be any water. It should rain about once a week or so.

Good idea... cheap aqua globe, but how long will it last?

it depends on the size of hole in the lid. just get a few lids a make diffrent size holes till you get the flow, or drip you want. one bottle can last up to week and a half pending on size of hole.

Well I figure if I use this and the water crystals then my plant should get enough H20 to last the whole time. I could possibly find a way to come back and water them once if it doesn't rain for awhile.

What strain are you planning on growing? I'd research a strain that is well suited for your climate and soil conditions. Do you want it to finish early? Are you going to be able to remove males if you're going from seed?

Lots to think about prior to planting any seeds... Those would be more things I'd be concerned with than my plants getting water. I'm going through the same process for my 09 grow. I've recently moved and now in totally different growing conditions so I have to re-research everything.

Good luck in your grow!

when i was a teenager i had threw some seeds out buy our fence in the gravel never expecting them to grow wasn't even planing on growing a plant, mid summer never new it was there to water tell one day i walked buy and there it was a 4ft plant never watered. its really just a weed its really hared to kill takes a lot to make it yield. now im sure if i planted it their on purpose the bitch probably would have died. just a little story i thought i would share. good luck jeff

Thanks... I'm going to be growing some Blueryders. It's a mix between a lowryder and Blueberry (Dj Short). Already planned the grow out and everything... This was my last problem. So it sounds like I should have a good grow
