Contact or wait for Rusty Trichome. Until then, what part of AZ are you in, it will help with figuring out stuff. AZ has desert to mountain climates..........

so are you planning on using above ground pots or are you digginng holes and putting good soil in?

i'm not familiar with growing in AZ but i am familiar with the area and 125f summers are not fun...heat being your primary issue and keeping your roots from baking if you are in above ground containers...but the more info you can give us the better advice we can give:thumbsup:

[demoreal]

did you read the stuff recommended in the last thread you started?

Well i'm planning on planting them in the ground in a nice space behind my shed... I had soaked the two seeds in water and then once the seeds cracked i put them in an old cooking pot... I did that about a week ago and they still haven't broke the soil so today i decided to carefully dig the seed out to see if they had rotted.... It turned out that they were just fine so since they were undug i decided to make two separators in the pot... http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/FLUFFYbunny27/downsize6.jpg
Will the sprouts be ok since i moved them? Also one of the seedlings shell fell off ..it wasnt connected but will it be ok? They both had a main root and leetle babay leaves lol

Now I'm not trying to scare you off from growing the sticky icky my friend but I would advise that you grow inside the house and especially if you live in Northern Phoenix!

Besides I don't think that miss marry jane will be able to handle Arizona's hot dry weather. You and I both know that during the summer the climate is always going up and down everyday along side with the humidity. Also keep in mind that if you still decide to keep them plants outside, when the monsoon season starts rolling in, you better clip all those buds off because before you know it they might all be blown off! :eek:

What part of Northern Phoenix do you live as in your closest intersection? and do you live in a neighborhood as well? Because if your planting outside and when those plants starting budding during this really hot weather, think about how dank that smell is going to be! That smell will be traveling all over the place and others (that aren't cannabis smokers) might become concerned.

If I were you I'd take every little possible consideration that you can. Remember I'm not trying to harsh your gig, I'm just trying to help another Arizonian from getting into trouble and ending up some place where you don't want to end up!

Until next time :jointsmile:

Oh and also just an fyi, the next time you post anything about "growing" whether it be questions or showing everyone what you have, post in the "Growing Information" section of the boards towards the bottom. Usually if you post in the wrong section, one of the admins will relocate your thread to the growing information section or whatever it be. So just in case you come back on in the near future and one of your post are missing, don't be alarmed! Just check your "User CP" :thumbsup:

I know a 45 year old broad that just did 6 days in the county jail with three years standard adult supervision on a class 6 felony in the State of Arizona for being caught growing two three inch seedlings.

Your mileage may vary.

I live near 43rd Ave and Union Hills. The spot that its in gets the sun in the morning till noonish so the heat shouldn't be too bad. You cant see it unless your looking for it because of where it is... I understand about the whole looking out for a fellow Arizonian and i just wanted to thank ya

Ahh well you live in a nicer area then I expected. I use to live all over Phoenix and never liked it, I'm more of a Mesa guy :D But none the less I think you'll be fine. But just in case you start to worry about people being curious or for just anything at all make sure you read up on transplanting plants so that you can bring them inside your house.

Hey man not a problem, it's what we all need to do for one another :thumbsup:

So how long you been living in Arizona for? You born & raised or from out of state?

[FLUFFYbunny27]

Yup born and raised lol:rasta:

[leadmagnet]

I'm not kidding you, she got nailed for a Class 6 felony- "Attempted Production of Marijuana". Not even undesignated wherein it would have become a class 1 misdemeanor upon successful completion of probation. Arizona is brutal on stoners.

If you're old enough, at least vote this Novemeber on the Medical Marijuana Initiative.
