Hello friends. I'm gonna guerrilla grow near a creek in northern Texas. I've saved up approx 30 seeds from really good sacks i've gotten (im guessing they were self-pollinated because they all came from name-brand shit), and about another fifty from less-good stuff. So anyways im sure that this land is completely remote, and probably has fertile soil, although idk if its a good idea to assume that. I was thinking of going out there soon and tilling the ground, leaving a layer of medium-grade wal-mart brand potting soil about 3 inches deep and planting them directly in the ground in mid-march. They will receive direct sunlight at least 12 hours a day.
Couple of questions -- is this too early? I was thinking it would be smart to utilize the long growing season of texas, but i read that the plants will stop growing when it gets too hot. and it will def be above 90 in may... so what should i do to begin preparing?

oh and also im way too lazy to do anything to prevent pests other than maybe spraying insecticide on the plants once a month or so... is anyone familiar with the pests i would encounter in northern tx? im sure there wont be any deer, but idk about bugs and shit. since it's near a creekbed that might kind of fuck me over.. i'm a bit above 30 degrees latitude with avg temps of low to high 90s from june-september.
another question - is it possible to load up the soil once with nutrients and not have to fuck with it again?? since the soil underneath will have been untouched then i would assume there'd be a buildup of nutrients.

Everything sounds good. Dont worry about the heat they love it and dont stop growing because of it. That only happens indoors if temps are over 85 degrees because the plants are in pots and cant cool themselves like they do outdoor. Make sure you cover them with some type of mesh until they get bigger because deer are not the only animals that eat seedlings. I have caught a rat munching on my plants. Mid march is good for most strains except Kush. Plant Kush late May/ early June or start indoors and put out late june. Pure power plant too! I till in some miricle grow potting soil ( Which I dont recomend using indoors.) and fertilize once more during late flower and thats it. You can load up with ferts if you want but you chance creating deficencys and most of that will be leached into the soil when you water or it rains. The main pest you have to worry about are army worms. If they get into the buds they ruin it from the inside out and can cause mold. There is some stuff called Ed Rosenthals Zero Tolerance that works good for pest and can be used up to a week before harvest, but it has to be dilluted so you dont burn the foliage or the buds. Also Safer catapiller killer work good too. Good luck with your grow show bro. Peace Out!
