Growing outdoors this year

I am growing outside this year but i do have a question ...i have grow in my closet b4 but outside is alot different from what i know....i dont want a huge crop so days ago i sprouted 8 seeds...4 of them spouted and for the time being i took one of them witch was some bad ass green that i only had one seed of...the rest was bag seed...anyway my question is i took the best 2 of the sprouts and planted them in 16oz cups found a nice spot thats hidden and burryed the sides of the cup so it looked like nothing was there...should i plant them in the ground when they get size or do you guys like to use containers ( no matter the size ) when growing outdoors ? another question is when topping...i know what it is and does to the plant but does it make the yeild any bigger than just letting one big bud grow ? thanks for all replys and i will keep u all updated

forgot to ask this one too....i know ppl fert the plants and all that....but does your plant just have to have it? what would happen if i grew say 4 plants....used ferts on 2 and no ferts on the other 2....would you think the ones that didnt get the ferts would be any different from the other 2 ? :confused:

depends on ya soil......basically your feeding the plant boosting the soils content of nutrients for it to access.
as far as needed,,,,,no not under right conditions.
if your plants were in the same RICH soil,
,say some the hawianian islands volcanic stuff ,best dirt on earth i would think.you would probubly ruin ya weed by ferts,cuase outdoor ,you cant really FLUSH the soil ya know,what you put in the ground,matters more than what you dont.nitrates build up and PH levels go up. etc ect....im sure you have read up on ph levels.


if the soil is some worn out shit that only scrub brush grows in then it would matter alot if you added ferts.

you get the right soil it dont need nothing but water and sun
but that is hard to find in a safe place to grow

your main concern outdoor,is its being HIDDEN

you cant put it in the middle of your corn patch (anymore) in any numbers one or two maybe,risky shit now with the choppers,cant have it even close to home.
forced to put our plants out on their own, picking soil is very important skill you get over time ,do it for 20+yrs and you can almost smell the dirt and tell if it would grow anything.,,,,almost that is,lol
peace

Jay I try and keep some in pots and some in the ground. The only reason I do this is so that I can bring em in for 12/12 when I want. If you are willing to let the plant go the whole term outside and get the 12/12 when mother nature desides its time then leave em out........Your choice.

Enjoy

usually plants need some form of feeding baby bio seems to work ok as someone else said you need to conceal..my last house had a garden that backed onto a forest (pine) they are so closely planted that its not easy for people to walk making it very private which I exploited to the Max..
