Here is the basic rundown. I am a foreigner living in Japan so this is a big time outdoor stealth grow. Japan has a no tolerance policy with foreigners and ANYTHING illegal (don't get me started on that crap, along with the underlying racism) so my partner and I are in stealth mode. One strike and you're back to the country you originally called home.

Last year we planted a bunch of seeds, without knowing what we were doing and I still don't but I'm learning, and yielded perhaps 3/4 of an oz. to an oz. We planted extremely late and our main plant got to maybe 2 feet high. This year after reading about it on the net I think I can do much much better.

I have one main question right now and you can bet your bottom dime that there will be more.

1. I went exploring today and found what looks to be some good spots in the Northern Japanese wilderness for not being found out. The places, obviously, with the least chance to get caught are in the forest which is quite overgrown and dense with what I think are a type of bamboo bush. I am comfortable clearing a space to plant some green in the forest. The problem is that the trees will be blocking almost all sunlight. I'm not interested in a 6 foot high plant but something that will yield more than the obvious blunder of plant that we had last year. Can an outdoor plant grow sufficiently in almost all indirect sunlight? Has anyone had to do this before?

Also, I will be planting seeds directly into the ground. I thought about sprouting the seeds and getting them to seedlings before I planted them into the wilderness but decided the risk just isn't worth the reward. Taking seedlings out and about doesn't seem easy.
