What kind of soil to I grow it in
What climate will it need
How much water, fertilizer, ect.
How much will it yeild (rough estimate)
What are all of the essentials for cannabis production
Where might I buy all of the above
How much money am I looking at to get going.

A good first time strain is Northern lights #5. I think you should get a good book before you start like the growers bible or something else. There are several you can DL for free too.

Yeah... get a book and dig in... it will teach you a lot and make the growing process that much better... Growing is easy once ya read the book...

but if ya got the seed and ya can't wait... ya need to sprout the seed.. you do this by keeping it moist and warm and dark... you can start with a 1 gallon container.. get some soil and mix it with perlite.....

water it with 6.5 ph water.. you can get a cheap ph tester at the nursery- $3.50
If your tap water is not 5-7 ph you will need to adjust your ph using vinegar to lower it and baking soda to raise it

Keep your seed and seedling moist.... but don't over water a mature plant...

good luck

NL #5 is great for that, but a Skunk #1 I think is even harder to screw up...

IMHO

True Skunk is prety harty but what about the odor? A first timmer may not be prepaired to deal with that level of odor. It's hard to argue though Skunk adapts well to most any condition and will grow. Just be ready to deal with the odor.

what surprises me in a way is that you have over 100 posts and you still ask simple questions....anyway....here goes:
A:any plant can yield a huge amount of bud if left under vegetation for like 3-4-5-6 months and then flower.....the bigger the plant and the bushier the better it will produce..

B:indoors is better because you can control every aspect of the plants life....from light to watering till temperature and air flow....outdoors has a big advantage though that is yield but this can be achievable also going indoors with the proper setup

C:if you go indoors you can expect to finish harvesting (given a month for vegetation) from seed in around 3-4 months....outdoors it depends on the strain/weather but more or less takes maybe around 4-6 months depending on the strain and when you put the seed on the ground.....

D:to have a kilo you can do it with one plant that is huge or with 20 plants that are small....it all depends on their size, style of growth, amount of light they receive waterings, ferts, airflow etc.....the best one a i could suggest is to grow around 15-20 females of medium size 3-4 ft tall....doing that and taking good care of them will definately get you a kilo of pure bud

E:seeds you can buy from various sources on the net.....just go on google and type in the search box ''cannabis seeds buy online''

ok, thanks man i did some research on google.. but havent found any info on NL #5 or Skunk #1.. but i found NL5 + haze is this the same? and NL are best for indoor growing..
how much should i cough up for skunk seeds? i decided to go outdoor growing will skunk do? also found this early misty good for beginners and it's indica(smaller).. what you think?

and is it ok to grow on summer time? will i have any problem?

strain: Northern Lights 5, much more potent than skunk
soil: Any store bought, organic soil is good. Miracle grow woorks, and so does lawn soil
climate: if you grow outdoors, the summer, planting depends on where you live, which leads to the obvious; where do you live?
water and nutes: NL 5 will need to be watered once ever 3-5 days depending on the soil and climate. Give nutes every 2 weeks or so.
yield: outdoors, under good conditions, you could be looking at a little under a pound per plant, dry
essentials: knowledge and TLC
buying: soil at any garden center, same with nutes. Seeds can be purchased from www.drchronic.com there my favorite.
money: depending on wich northern lights you get, it could be as little as 40 bucks to as much as one hundred. If you grow inside it will be much much more, around 230 for a cheap grow without the seeds included
