First time grower- outdoors

Hello all,

Well I can't find a good dealer, so I want to grow my own plants :thumbsup: I have a great spot in my backyard, there is this bamboo forest that obscures the view of a nice river. I will take pics tomorrow and post them here so you guys can tell me if it's a good spot. Well obviously I have some questions-

1. Is something like this a good way to start, and can I trust this site? I don't have any seeds on me..

2. So it's almost September, I live in southeastern PA. It gets cold (55-65F) around the start-mid october. Am I going to have enough time to harvest them, or will they die if it gets below a certain temperature?

3. I am 16 (almost 17) and live with my parents, I'm not really worried about anyone finding the plants but I'd like to start them outside if at all possible (planted in the soil). Would this method work instead of starting them inside, then moving them?

4. I've read that I should soak the seeds for a day then plant in the ground 1/2inch deep? correct?

5. Well I'm no gardener, so I could use some tips on what to give them each day if this works. Water and how much, fertilizer, etc

I basically need all the help I can get, if I get some positive feedback on whether or not people think it's too late in the year I guess I will get something from that site.. I would love to talk on AIM with someone about this, if anyone has some time to spare give me a pm ;) edit: so there's no pm's here, well if anyone can talk on aim let me know.

hey dood i could talk 2 u on aim but wut is your SN dood?

Hey man,

Thanks and *bump

You're WAY too late.
Better luck next year.
BTW there's always a drought around here in late August before the Canadian outdoor starts coming down next month... plan ahead and stock up in July!

Damn, that sucks. Well, maybe I will try anyway? I found a couple seeds in my dresser.. (don't ask..)

How long do they last?

They'll be fine for spring.

Cool, I'll just leave them in my drawer then. Guess it's best to do it right.. I've read all I can find and it honestly doesn't seem that hard..

oh boy are you in for it then :rolleyes:

haha, we'll see

ok so I've decided to grow a plant or two in the closet in my room at my dad's house. We already have 4 multi-gallon buckets, a huge package of miracle-gro soil with peat moss, the closet is perfect (painted white, it goes far to the side so if opened you won't see the plant, and has one of those white things to put clothes on and hang stuff from). And the room is usually pretty warm even when the heat isn't on since it's the third floor, and decently humid (i've read to keep it between 65-80%).

Not to mention no one goes up there. So all I need are 2 or 3 of these and I'll be good. I'll take it from here guys, and probably screw up :thumbsup:
