iam hoping to grow around 40 afghan plants from female clones outdoors but there are many questions i want to ask
i will grow organically

*should i use a soiless mix or soil
*will they finish before october
*who produces the best strain sensi nirvana kcbrains
*should i grow a singled stem plant or pinch out so there are multibranches
*how big should the hole be that i plant them in i was thinking 4ft deep by 3ftwide

what yield should i expect from them

Q#1 You can just use the soil that mother nature left for you and mix in some perlite, and outdoor plant food. I perfer (Peters 20-20-20) but you can use almost any outdoor food. Make sure you dont over feed the clones.

Q#2 The plants should finish around mid Sep. to mid Oct. Beware of mold in the last 6 weeks of flowering. The strain is known to mold in high moisture areas.

Q#3 I buy all my seeds from two comp. only. One is www.pottv.com. Mark Emery carries the most strains and holds the most seed comp. in the world. The second one is www.seedmasters.com. They arent a very big comp. but they have great strains and very good prices.

Q#4 If you grow a single stem plant, it will grow much taller and bring in alot more sun light. It will have a more rapid veg. growth stage and produce more in the end. If you top the plants off they will grow much more shorter and look more bushy but wont produce as much in the end. It all depends on the area you are growing in also. I dont know if you need to keep the plants compact and concealed from people finding them or if they can just grow free and as big as they can. This qwestion is for you to answer.

Q#5 I dont understand this qwestion. What it seems to me is that your going to dig a hole big enough to grow all the plants in and if so you have to think aout some negative effects this will do to your plants. They wont get the full day of sun. They will only get about 8-10 hours of light each day. If it rains more than a sprikel the hole could flood and drown the plants. But if you still do it this way the hole will have to be alot bigger than 3ft. wide. I would guess about 160sq. feet. It seems like alot but if you want the most yeild from the plants, they will need some room to grow.

If you get your hands on some good seeds, just keep me in mind. I hope your crop turns out well.



TOGETHER WE CAN OVER GROW THE GOVERMENT

KCBrains is notorious for low germ. rates. Marc Emery is extremely expensive. It depends on your latitude and hours of darkness as to when they will flower. I can assure you they will flower with more daylight than any sativas.

[IthoughtIknewitall]

One thing you must realize is that the further away the equator you go, The longer the daylight and less hours of darkness and winter temperatures arrive sooner. So an indica must flower with more daylight and finish faster to produce seed before winter frosts which will kill the herbaceous plant. From my experience any plant bred to flower outdoors in a northern latitude such as Holland will flower immediatly when put outside in a southern latitude. Holland Latidude is 52North. A plant that finishes there by october 1 and flowers for 55 days must begin flowering on august 5 which has a total hours of darkness at about 9 hours. This same plant will begin flowering at Nimbin Australia which is 30South on any day of the year. The longest day of the year there has 9:56 hours of total darkness. Any comments appreciated.

what yield should i expect from them

read up on daylight hours,
in usa can check here for time tables

depending on how easy or hard it is to hide weed there
topping them will create short bushy plants (you dont want no 10ft plant if thieves and cops are bad ,trust me there ive major problems with both)

and the holes do not need be 4ft deep..and 3ft wide
try 2ft by 2 ft,should do great and leave the roots lots of grow room,
fill with good soil maybe some organic ferts(compost in bottom)

yield will depend on too many factors to say what it would be
light,water ,nutrients,and strain,hell the wheather even,

good luck
