Outdoor Swamp tubes. Swamp grows.

How tall or high mush the container be? Can i fill up a garbagebag that´s stabilized in some way, with 10 gallons of soil and grow in that? Or will i need to get chickenwire, and build one of those tubes? I want the greatest results possible ofcourse.

There was a member on this site can't remember who or where the pictures are
but the person used totes cut out the bottom and filled it with soil
they came out really good

thats me, 15gals promix and 1 cup of osmocote...with lime 5-10lbs under the bin right on the wet swamp...if your standing in a couple inches of water your in the right spot. A 15 gal bin/tote/bag will bring an easy 1/4lb to a lb, with the right strain or a couple to a few autos.

Here I had just planted this swamp and we were hit with 5inches of rain... looks worse then it was, all that water was gone in 48hrs... All the rest of the pics are the same location, it quickly overgrew the "patch"...

Nice cres. The surrounding forest looks just like where i live.

I think i will go for it. Are there any differences between growing photos and autos in swamps? Probably not, right?

All good.

What slow release fert should i buy to my swamp tubes? What different kinds are they?

Go to your local garden shop and look for those little time release fertilizer balls, on this side of the pond there made by scotts...Osmocote...20-20-20 I use 1 cup= (8oz) or about a 1/4 liter for 15gals of peat based mix like promix. This is all the fert that is needed other than lime under the bin.

Ok, i will look for that, but i don´t think i am going to find it. I think that is an american product. But i will write down the info on that and take with me to the store.

I was checking out some slow ferts today. But they wore lawn ferts, and with very high pH. Should i look for slow ferts with a 6,0-7.0 pH, or will 8,0 do? The swamp is probably acidic, but maybe it can be good with a slow fert with a 8,0 pH? I will also add lime ofcourse.

When i take a look at the site of the main fert company here in Sweden i see that most of there slow fert products have a pH between 7,4 - 8,8. And then i can choose to click what i kind of plant i grow and then i come to the products that matches what i grow. I can choose between Berrybushes, Fruit trees, compost and Vegetablegarden. What are the most like cannabis?

I should get a fruit or citrus fertilizer, right? Not a lawn, or a flower fert. I mean, the buds are similar to fruits, right?
