just as an experiment im thinking of doing a treetop grow of an auto speed bud, gunna use biobizz light with clay pellets grit with biobizz grow n bloom etc, 3 gal fabric pot and sum black climb rope to knot it to the treetop, the one i saw was a dense pine, ima go check it out more tommorow, it looked ok but i didnt climb it as I was short on time and had to go it had loads of fkin spider webs which i didnt want on my head too,

my question is, if the rain waters it, which in the uk will alot except in the uk :'(, how often will i have to use nutes? and at what age of it do you think as this strain finishes at 60 days and when i do use nutes grow or bloom, good day weewooooo :tiphat::woohoo: :moon:

I would do a grow where you can easily manage the plants, like not in a tree. Its pretty hard to just leave it and expect it to still grow correctly. Where I'm at, spider mites love pine trees which are extremely hard to get rid of.

What I usually do is find a good secluded spot away from any roads or trails and make a spot camouflaged with tree branches and thorn bushes so any animal or person would have a hard time finding it.

Hope this helps :)

Where I am it's abit too cold for spider mites and the tree spot I have picked is near some paths and roads but it's not very far from home and I'm not sure how often I will water it if I have water crystals at the bottom but I'll see.experimenting.:tiphat:

definitely a creative idea but I could definitely see issues with doing that. watering being a big one and pests depending on the tree you decide on. but hell, that's what experimenting is all about. trial and error. best of luck man and if you do follow thru post some pictures lol

If you decide to do this run yourself a rubber hose down to the ground that will hook onto a water pump that fits into a chuck on a cordless drill. that way when you do have to add nutes and or water you don't have to climb up every time.just hook up your hose from pot to cordless drill squeeze trigger and the plant is watered.
I did this one year and it turned out well.the drill pumps are very quiet you really cant even hear them run.

Where I'm doing this is in a few acres
Of ancient woodland in a city, it will be too risky doing this:peacock:

if your only growing in 3 gallon bags put two gallon jugs in a backpack and carry it in. in 3 gallon grow bags your gonna have to water at some point.
