I live in an apartment complex, more like condos. We live right on the lake almost. We're the second, almost third floor up and we have a decent sized balcony on the back overlooking the look.

An individual I'm living with grows a lot of plants out on our balcony, including vegetables/fruits and spices. By the looks of some of the plants out there, it shouldn't be all that hard to make Cannabis plants blend in. If the odor became a problem, then I'm sure there'd be a way around that.

Now, I'm stuck; I was thinking about placing some nice quality potting soil into some plastic cups to begin with. After germination was complete, I was going to place the rooted Cannabis seeds, using tweezers, about 0.5-1.5 inches into the potting soil, which would be inside the plastic cup. I'd place the cups on my windowsill or out on my balcony for 5-6 hours for about 2 weeks. Once I see impressive growing progress, I'd eventually transplant the plants into bigger pots out on the balcony. I'd use a spoon or something to reach the soil at the bottom of the cup, slowly and carefully lift up the soil, plant, and all, and then just place it into a dug hole in on of the pots out there already with a plant and soil in it. It sounds pretty simple and okay to me.

On the bright side, I don't really have to worry about any pests, especially since we're up on a balcony. The individual I live with never seems to have any problems with her plants being overwhelmed with bugs. I guess all I'll really have to worry about is mold.

By the way; If I notice any mold on my germinating seeds during the next few days, I've read that using a mild 2% bleach or fungicide dilute will help fight off any mold, present or future. Does this mean I could take a little bit of bleach or fungicide, mix it with a little water, and pour on the paper towels?
highguyinny Reviewed by highguyinny on . First-time grower needs advice... First things first; I live in Upstate New York. About 45 minutes to an hour away from the Canadian border, to be exact. We had a late Spring this time around due to global warming, but we are now reaching temperatures in the low- to mid-70s in the month of May. I don't know exactly when people that grow and/or smoke marijuana plant their germinated seeds in my area, but of course everybody's different. I'd like to grow outside, in an isolated area. I've already decided where I'm going to plant Rating: 5
