@Lil Dab 
..you good...?....
I think you should try a pot grow...you will probably find it easier than a garden grow.
In Spain the natural soil has virtually no residual moisture....so say you stick a plant into 5% of your garden and water that 5%...

...the other 95% of your garden is trying to leach all the water.
In a pot... with a big plant saucer....you can add extra into the saucer to keep the area cooler and humid.
On the other hand... I've seen photo periods grown in land over 10 ft tall...with bottom branches as thick as hubbys wrist...the temptation would get the better of me.....
