Hello fishhuntandride and welcome.

First tip I'd give you is, start the seeds indoors. Then you can sex the plants, dump the males and transplant nice female "plant starts" outdoors. You really don't want to go thru the trouble of planting seeds outside, then go thru latter and rip out males. Counterproductive.

Second tip is read up on growing here, as they say "till your eyes bleed". Then read some more. Plus it would be a good idea to read a book about growing plants in general; plant biology or general horticulture will give you an idea what a plant needs and how it operates.

BTW I'm not suggesting you become a botanist, just try to be smarter then the plant you're growing.:D

if ya cant do it indoors,wait till june cause the buds will tend to be fluffy in october.they get denser if you wait to plant later.[i learned the hard way].
also please try to find a spot with the most possible sun throughout the day.
dont half-ass this if you can.as for nutes-do organics.go to your local plant store and they should help alot for all phases of your grow.ask whats best for the veg stage,and then flower stage of plants.
