the "plant it and leave it alone" theory

Hey guys, I have a question for all you experienced growers. Recently, I've been looking into starting my own couple of outdoor plants, once the winter season is over. My good friend always has at least 2 plants going, but his are indoor, and he puts a large amount of time into them.

One time, while smoking, he told me about how he took a seed from a good bag of weed he once had, and just put it in a pot outside behind his house. He forgot about it for about a month, and then one day walked outside and found a nice, healthy plant, growing strong.

This has sparked my interest, and since, i have scoped out three or four nice spots nearby my house where i could easily plant some seeds and no one would even get the faintest hint of a plant.

My question is, is it worth it to plant some seeds once the season is right, and basically just let nature take its course? As i read around on this site, everyone seems to be real into hardcore indoor growing and continuous involvement in their plants growing. Don't get me wrong, I love reading grow logs and seeing people's perfect plants, but I am interested in basically just planting seeds and coming back once a week to see how its doing, otherwise, I plan on having no involvement. Do you guys think this would work (if i get a nice strong sativa plant?)

And/Or has anyone tried this before?

outdoor doesn't take near the amount of time and effort as compared to indoor. I have just popped seeds into a pot and left them and couple weeks later we got some growing. Just make sure its got the essentials like water. Id plant it in a pot first til it gets stronger then set it in the grown. It will need a little maintenance and check ups

alright, thanks man. Start it in the pot till it gets going, then transplant into nature. sounds good man, thanks

Put a feminized seed in a 10 or 20 gallon hempy bucket with good rich soil and leave it in the woods for a few months...

you will have a ganja tree the size of a redwood

as everyone else said. pot > then plant it into nature.

When they are seedlings they are very weak...
1 or 2 days without sufficient water could kill them, same if it rains excessively.

luck really needs to be on the seedlings side if it grows wild from a seed without any care

Wow, so is that like why trees are a non-renewable resource? :wtf:

trees ARE a renewable resource... its just that stupid people cut them down and dont replant them. The Indians used this kind of process, always replaced what they took, and it's possible to do the same in this day and age. Since there's SO much forest, we can continue to cut down the older stuff and by the time it's all gone, we could go to what we planted. It would work, and has been discussed in many agriculture magazines and books. The key is to get all the stumps out and burn them so the ground would be more fertile and facilitate large forestation. Our consumption for wood has been decreasing since we found metal, and it would be easy to conserve it if not for the idiotic logging companies who decide that the short term gains are more important than the long term losses of not replacing their woody quarry.

just dig a hole in the ground when the plant has out grown the bucket then transplant it into the dirt, the plant will be less prown to drought, and the health should rise because the root mass will grow into earth, where cannabis first camefrom. :thumbsup:
