Can Cannabis Grow In Regularly Damp Dirt?
I’m planning to do some guerilla farming with my cannabis come May. My location of choice is rather wet on a daily basis… but well hidden.
My question is: How big of a chance does a cannabis seed have of growing into a thriving plant if the dirt is always damp/wet.
Wet is not good. If it is too wet they will not grow at all, they will rot. If it is damp and well drained so that the plants will not be sitting in water, you have a shot but it wont be great. See if you can dig a trench to divert the water so that the soil is no more than slightly damp. Some areas are only wet in the spring and tend to dry out by summer. I have even found spots that were wet one year and reasonably dry another year. Remember that you want hot, dry weather at the end of the growing season for the best results. Sometimes that means covering the plants to keep rain out. If you grow in five gallon buckets, you will have control over the wetness and can move the plants to the most optimum positions as the season progresses. They will also be smaller due to the confined growing space but that could be an advantage as they would be harder to spot.

if you are growing it from seed use a grow puck it will pull the plant up out of the dirt. and yes you can use damp dirt it is good for it wen it is a seedling but depending on where you are growing it you ether need to water it everyday or every week
