Outdoor cult question

i just read moes outdoor tek, and i'm very intrigued. i live in socal, so the temp is right for this almost all year long. after i have a few used cakes i'm gonna try it. I have 3 questions: 1) after how many flushes should I add nutrients (brf/verm? 2) how important is humidity in an outdoor environment, and how could it be regulated? 3) whats the word on having multiple strains in the same general location (not the same hole, but having adjacent holes)?
thanks!

1) no idea never added nutrients. 2) humidity isn't an issue outdoors, just make sure it stays hydrated. 3) i have about six strains in a yard plot about 12 inches apart.
what i do is i take some moist poo (NO NEED TO PASTEURIZE OUTDOOR PROJECTS), lay a nice little layer on the ground as like a bottom of a casing layer, add a quart or so of grains, add a layer of moist poo to the top like a casing layer and let it goto to town. just make sure it's in the shade. potency is decreased with uv exposure from the sun.

right on. one more question...does the 'freshness' of the hay matter? (ie does it loose nutrients with age??) there's a good layer of hay in the bottom of the stalls in the old barn on our lot (not mention old menure, lol), but i know for a fact that there hasn't been a horse back there for several years (atleast 5, probably closer to 10...)....

straw will be good as long as it doesn't have something growing in it already.
aged poo is usually better than fresh poo. not sure about 5 year old poo though.

one more: whats the word on injecting spores straight into this poo and hay or grains?? (does it have to start from mycelium or used cakes, or will it do that on its own??)

you always want spawn. Inject on grains or BRF because you really need spawn. spores take a long time to germinate. you notice the longest part of cultivaing is the wait for the spores to germinate.

no plant life. maybe some spiders, lol. whats the word on setting off a few bug bombs back there before doing this? will it kill the mycelium and/or how long should i wait??

IF ANYTHING pasteurize the poo with 160F hot water bath. as long as there ISN'T some form of mushrooms already growing in there you should be ok.
i would by no means use chemicals around something you will be injesting. it also causes mutants.

n/m, i think i found it in the bulk substrate prep section. do i have to go through all the boiling in the bag and all that, or could i just add a proper amount of boiled water and mix real good...?

listen you can't half ass this hobbie. you half ass it and you get shit. this hobbie is very simple yet complex in it's simplicities. things have to be done right or you will end up growing mold.
the reason pasteurization works is because you are exposeing it to a certain amount of heat for a period of time. how long do you think hot water will last outside??? not two hours at the same temp.
i'll tell ya anything you want to know about growing but know that there are no shortcuts or we would all be using them.

i totally understand that. thats why i'm asking questions instead making rash decisions . That bulk substrate method i found was for indoor or controlled environments. it appears from what i what i read that outdoor is alot less finneky (? spelling, haha). anyways, like i said, thats why i asked...
and just so you know, i'm not trying to half ass this and get crap when i'm done. that, and i most certainly do appreciate any help i get! thanks bunches man!!

outdoor is much easier than indoor. outside nature takes care of nature, but inside we have to do everything perfect or you could end up with some nasty shit in your house.
i was hoping you weren't going to be one of those half assers. just had to let you know the severity of the situation. good luck with everything.
