So me and a buddy of mine want to start growing for the first time. We wanna grow some really good weed outdoors, but have no idea where to start. I work at wal mart so i can get all of the potting soil and fertilizer or what ever else i need, i can get it from there. But i'm wondering on how to go about doing this, were gunna grow the weed outdoors in a forrest. So how much is all this going to cost, what we will need, etc etc. Ur help is GREATLY APPREICATED!!
need more info
what is your yearly climate/latitude are you
are you goin from seed or clone?
if you get everything from walmart go for the organic stuff, maybe some earthworm castings.
depending on how long inbetween visits you may need some water crystals
read links in my sig plenty of info
First question is where do you live? I am expecting SNOW tonight. In San Diego, where I was born, I'd have my plants in the dirt last month! Your climate plays into the whole outdoor thing! How much rain do you get? Frost free date? 1st frost date? What is the soil like where you plan to grow. IS IT FEDERAL LAND??? (You could be opening yourself up to some NASTY charges!) Please think about all these "details"!
Skip the Miracle Grow potting soil. It is formulated all wrong for pot. If your area is dry, stuff with water holding crystals might be in order (but massive amounts of organic matter in the soil does much the same job.
An old saying might help you- "Dig a $10 hole for a $1 plant!" The soil around the plant majorly affects the way the plant will grow. If you transplant into a well prepared hole, you plants will be happier.
Watch for when Walmart puts out their tomato seedlings. Frost kills tomato plants (and the profit from them)- Walmart is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! Add a week and it is usually safe to transplant small seedlings to outdoors.
Start READING! Hit the Outdoor growing forum in all of the sites you visit. For absolute newbies, this is also a good site...

Grow organically! (You don't want to inhale poisons!) If you are going to sow your seeds directly, either pre-soak them, or wait until you know there is going to be a storm. Planting started plants is less risky for the plants, but more risky for YOU than tossing seeds. Tossing seeds is much easier than planting seedlings, but birds LOVE to eat hemp seeds and new seedlings are fair game for bugs. Take your choice of risks!
Unless you are planning to go back in a month or so, you will have seeded buds. Buy yourself one of those big wire mesh strainers, if you don't have one already. You can rub dry bud through it and remove all the seeds and stems.
Enjoy your new hobby!- Granny:hippy:

BUMP!! I NEED TO KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO START THIS, where am i going to get the seeds from etc etc?
You should listen to Storm Crow and do a lot of reading. There is also a link in my sig, and there's a sticky on the top of the outdoor section that shows detailed outdoor instructions.
Do you have access to female clones already? Because if you don't you need to plant your seeds like... yesterday.
o ok i will do my reading. And no i dont have any clones! I dont even know where to buy the seeds at, and what seeds to buy! I need to get this all figured out!! How should i plant the seeds, and where should i buy them at?
BUMP PEOPLE!! CAN U GUYS HELP ME SET UP THE GROW?? I WANNA ORDER THE SEEDS BUT DONT KNOW WHICH ONES
STOP BUMPING THE THREAD! You have not yet asked a question that has not been answered half a dozen times already this week! READ!!!
Here's some Google terms:
cannabis seeds
outdoor cannabis cultivation
USDA zone
guerrilla growing
Plus all the posts on these boards that have everything you need to know. You ask too basic questions too early, people might end up ignoring you, which will suck when you have something specific that we could actually help with.

And sorry once again for being an ass
ok so i planted about a dozen seeds of some reg that i smoked the other night, i am still waiting for my seeds that i bought to be shipped from rhino seeds in the UK. And planted about 3 seeds per pot in the soil in the woods outside. I put potting soil that i bought from walmart in each pot and filled it up to the rim. I planted the seeds about 2 inches down . And the pots are totally in the ground, i dug a hole in the ground and put all 4 8'inch pots in the ground. and then filled up the pots with potting soil.
WISH ME LUCK GUYS!!
That might be too deep. Next time, one-half inch max, and one seed per pot.Quote:
I planted the seeds about 2 inches down
Good Luck...:thumbsup:

If you'd done your homework and read the basic grow guide, you'd know:
-never plant a seed more than ~1/3" beneath the soil surface
-never plant multiple seeds in the same pot
No, they are not gonna grow decent that way. They won't likely even sprout.
