Can a citrus compost be good?

[GrowingLucrezia]

I was planning to plant some plants in guerrilla, in the countryside. I found some isolated places, unfortunately there are brooms nearby, I plan to plant in March around the end of the month / beginning of April, for now I have loosened the soil and added this soil to prepare the ground. What do you think? Should I add something else to compensate for a lack that this compost may have in the growth of cannabis?

thats odd i have just been looking at those in the garden centre , i think the orchid mix would be better personally, it has charcoal which i think provides zinc , seramis which holds water and apparently nutrients.
i had a couple of years trying to grow outside and i gave up in the end , too cold (in the UK) until about june, then you have to contend with windburn, rain storms, snails, slugs, deer, rabbits, and pesky farmers . i found the best place is a reed bed thats in a few inches of water , the water keep all animals away and if the pot is sitting in 2-3 inches of water it will just water itself and you can go along and stick a drip feeder in one a month...

thanks for the reply, I had used this soil because it didn't seem bad and I already had it available. do you say that even in central Italy it is very difficult to have a minimum of success in cannabis guerrilla growing? should I give up? I had taken this as a challenge, the idea seemed fun to me and I could have tried something different, because unfortunately I have no way of planting at home

for the snails I was thinking of using copper wire or maybe other traps, then I was thinking of surrounding with chicken wire, and trying LST to avoid the plant growing too vertically, then I was thinking of buying predator urine to keep other animals away

its not as easy as it seems . its great if you have a garden or balcony which gets a lot of sun, but in nature you have little control , which you do have indoors. the only time i had sucess was in a reed bed, i just left it all summer but even then i only got half an ounce. i had 3 plants found by council workers and 2 destroyed by a farmer who decided to extend his field onto wasteland i was growing on. last summer i tried outside but it was the worst summer we had in 50 years.my first grow was huge but i didnt know what i was doing so i chopped early.
Ma non lasciarti scoraggiare.

congratulations on your attempts, I knew it was much more difficult than it seems. I'll try anyway, trying to do my best and I won't let myself get discouraged.
Grazie per l’incoraggiamento

I use a mushroom compost in my living soil mix. I’m not sure about a citrus compost
