2010 Outdoor Grow North of 60

[GodsGreenGarden]

Yo everyone new here. I have gotten my MMJ Card from Health Canada and am legally allowed to grow for me and 2 other people in the same province as me who dont have the knowledge. So as I keep rambling on here may as well get into my Choices.

The 5 strains I have decided to grow are as follows :
- Hashberry ( 20 )
- Ganesh ( 10 )
- White Widow x Big Bud ( 5 fems )
- Kalichakra ( 10 )
- 8 Miles High ( 10 )

The reason I chose this amount of seeds is because Im accounting for male to female ratio. I will be starting these bad girls inside once theyre germinated and have 2 weeks of topsoil growth then I will release each specific kind into there sites.

All of these strains finish within a week or two of eachother and have great medicinal uses as I have had the Hashberry before.

For thy setup, I want to achieve 6 foot monsters that can yield about 1 - 1.5lbs / plant. If 1 - 1.5 is unrealistic then Ill shoot for minimum .5lb/plant.

Soil & Mixes ( 40/40/20 )

- Scotts Pro Blends Organic Compost x 6
- Schultz Potting Soil Plus x 6
- Perlite x 3

Total costs for ground supplies : $54.00

Nutes & Enhancers. Some of you probably wondering why I had chosen Liquid Plant Food for my veg cycle, I have used this in the past during veg and it gave me unreal results. Its also got additives such has Magnese, zinc, and Iron.

Nutrients & Bloom Enhancers

AN Overdrive (BloomEnhancer) x 1L -- Combine with blooming mix.
AN Organic Iguana Bloom Juice (Blooming nutrient) x 1L
Liquid Plant Food (Veg) x 2

Walking distance to site from pullout : 3.3km-- ETA : 35-45 minutes

Plants are in an area they can have atleast 8 hours of direct light a day.

Here are my light schedules for North of 60.

Amount of light in May - 18h 29m
Amount of light in June - 19h 01m
Amount of light in July - 17h 3m
Amount of light in August - 14h 16m
Amount of light in September - 11h 30m
Amount of light in October - 8h 39m

Me being new to outdoor growing, does the plant need a full 12 hours to start the photo period? Or would it start in August with the 14 hours of light? All my strains are supposed to finish up in Mid October latest and I dont know with these light schedules if thats an accurate time, if someone wants to let me know that would be great!

Let me know what you think. Do you think my setup will suffice for the plant to get 6ft high and create massive buds. I intended on LSTing them to make for a nice wide bushy 6ft plant.

All plants will be started in 1 weeks time, 3 weeks they will all be out in the wilderness.

Thanks for the read everyone, I welcome all comments/criticism. If you see a flaw in my design please do not hesistate to let me know! -GGG

sounds good dude they dont need exactly 12/12/ to flower outdoors as soon as it starts getting darker earlier usually around august they will begin to flower. some strains may not flower till late mostly sativ strains..and your also near me well we are both up north ur just a bit farther and i dont put mine outdoors untill end of april,you should wait till 2nd week of may, frost can kill them youngings with a blink of an eye.but as they get bigger they survive frost not a heavy frost but for the most part they stay alive iv'e had them outside with snow on them and they did fine<december finishing haze,but not all plants are the same...

but what u got sounds good just check for the frost dates last frost,first frost,mine usually get chopped mid october,but good luck hopefully this helped in some kind of way but most of all your answears can be found with the search button,take ur time read learn grow harvest dry/cure then smoke :)

and also when they begin to flower watch for mold/bud rot after a rain storm go shake ur plants rough but gentle get as much water as u can out of them....

I know how to grow/dry/cure cannabis. Just new to outdoors is all. Thanks for the tip for the budmold, and aswell I will find out the frost dates. Its going to be warmer in my grow area as Im driving an hour south of town to the site's. We'll see if its still too cold in 3 weeks time then Ill wait another week before putting them into there spots. Thanks for your :twocents:
