Well, your plan has a few things that could be improved upon. Outdoor growing requires a measure of stealth, ingenuity, and A LOT of planning.
1) Picking a spot. Or two or three!!! Find a spot far away from any foot traffic. The harder it is to get to, the better. Do not leave a trail to your chosen location, this can lead to problems. Leo's, random hikers, and of course those bastards who will rip your crop. If you can, find a location close to good water. If it is difficult to travel to, bringing in ferts and water will be a bit of a challenge. Finad a spot that gets a lot of Eastern sun. If you can plant againts a grove or treeline that shades in the afternoon, this will help flowering earlier, and provide some amount of cover from unecessary eyes, and a bit of protection in the event of a storm.
2) Get good seeds. Bagseed is not a good idea. Purchasing quality genetics from a reputable seed bank is key. Pick a strain that will fit the type of buzz you want, as well as a plant that wil be easy to grow in your chosen location. If the cover around your spot is low, pick a solid indica, i.e. NL#5, Blueberry, White Widow, etc. If you have taller cover, a sativa strain may be a better choice, i.e. Durban Poison, Thai, or a Haze variety.
3) Once you have the first two accomplished, prepare your spot. Dig holes for the amount of plants you want to grow. A hole 2 feet wide by three feet deep is a good rule of thumb. Add compost, slow release ferts, and perlite and vermiculite to the base of the hole when you're done. Top the hole with the soil that you dug out of the hole. Perlite isn't a naturally occurring item out in the wilderness and can draw attention.
4) Start inside. Once you seeds are germinated, pot them, and grow them indoors for a bit. Take clones and force sexing on your clones. Determine which are females, and which are males. Get rid of the clones, and dispose of the plants that turned out to be male. You can either plant the females that you found, or grow mother plants from these, and take clones to put out in you location in greater numbers. This will ensure that your crop is all female and should be seed free.
5) Plan on starting this process in March. It will take time to grow your mother plants inside, and you will want to plant your plants outside sometime in May or June.
This is just a start. Some of the processes and techniques I mentioned can be looked up in the faq section. If you have more questions, then ask, and someone will be sure to answer.
