I usually do it like this.

1)Clear a spot for the plot.
2)Turn the soil and add water crystals, and some 4month time release fertilizer.as close to 20-20-20- as possable.
3)A few weeks later(mid April) I plant a bunch of seed directly into the ground
4)Care for them and water when needed
5)In august I remove the males and add some 2 month time realease bloom ferts
6)When ready I harvest the crop.

Good luck, and I will be willing to help you in any way possabe.

hey dylan thanx mann so i shood just get rid of the bucket idea? i heard it keeps bugs and stuff out of your soil and also keeps the soil perfect for growing..but if u think i shouldnt then i wont...also should i put the chicken wire around the grow area there are so many little animals in my area that would love to take a bite outta my plants:eat:

not trying to be rude or anyting but i found it very hard to read the post with the font your using. A lot of the skilled growers are older and would love to help but they need to be able to read it without straining their eyes.

there are also a lot of good grow guides around here that will explain everything you need to know. Good luck and stay safe

haha nevermind, looks like it fixed itself

sorry about the font dude..ill remember not to use that font anymore

ive read plenty of growguides and understand the concept real well..
the only questions i have are the bucket and the chicken wire answering this would totaly set me up for spring

[keeko]

well the way i understand you is you want to dig holes and put buckets with soil in the holes. skip the buckets and plant directly in the holes (with amended soil). your plants will enjoy the root space more (= more buds.)

Chicken wire is great for keeping the bigger animals away......deer, rabbits, goats.....depending on where you are. smaller insects can be bigger problems sometimes. where abouts are you?

thanx mann ill be planting in the ground then forget the buckets..do u reccomend i dig a hole and put some soil in it and plant in that???:rasta:

ill prolly start the plants in small containers and transplant them into the site good idea or not?

i live in rhodeisland and gunna be planting somewhere in the middle of about 1 square mile of forest weve got some ground hog and other small rodent animals runnin round..last year i tried planting in the ground they wer growing but something kept coming and eating them

thats why i was thinkin chicken wire

[GROWGUY420420]

the soil around here is not fertile at all..i dont think the plant would like that too much

[keeko]

your probably right. you will need to add soil to the holes you did.

are you able to start them indoors at all when your ready to grow? starting them in a smaller then transplanting is a good idea, it helps the root system get the most out of the space its using before getting bigger.
