Northern Ontario

[four_two_zero]

Hey everybody... I'm currently in northern Ontario, and I am planning on growing 8 or 9 plants this spring outdoors... There is currently snow everwhere, with a temperature of 2 degrees. It is warming up, when do you think I should transplant my seedlings outside? I am growing the seedlings till about 7 inches then transplanting into some soil.

Also this will be my first grow, so I do not know much, I am curious if growing around pine trees will affect my plants because the pine needles put acid into the ground... I will be replacing the soil with top soil ( from a bag ) but I think that over time the acids would get into the top soil.

Also I was reading about what kind of fertilizers to use, and I was searching my house and only found some that said 15-30-15, so this is the stuff high in physophus? I use this fertilizer for the flowering stage?

If you can answer any of these questions it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! :jointsmile:

dont grow near pine trees the soil will be much too acidic. i used 15-30-15 for veg and early flowering last year and it seemed to work great i got some really nice buds. to put them outside u gotta wait until the temps stay above 60F in the nights im not sure when this is in ur area but probably some time in late april. hope this was helpfull n good luck dude my first grow was an awsome experiance.

I really do not think that you can put your plants outside overnight in northern ontario until maybe june 10th. Unless unless you can cover them at night? The fertilizer you mention sounds good for flowering! Hmm if the best secure spot you no of is near the pine trees try working the ground up a bit and watering the crap out of the area high a high ph water and and a couple cups of domolite lime. work that in as well. Might work and raise ph.
good luck hope this helps
