Seeking advice for first outdoor

[Joel]

the main problem ya might have is the long daylight hours.
what we have here is by the time daylight has gone under 13 hours a day
we have strong winds and cold nights plants dont always make it
unless ya can go out every day cover and uncover them so they have 12/12
thats why most ppl in ireland use autoflowering
another one is have them in pots then move them to shaded area that they get high sun but not early morning and late evening
works for some strains
cause them to flower
hollands hope/hoop and early girl
ya could always go for a couple of low strains lowberry, lowskunk, blue barrel 47 and so on
best of luck i cant find the link but i do remeber seeing on here or some where of drying, cureing and storing all outside never have to bring it into ur own home

cant beat a bit of ur own green :jointsmile:

Yo man thanks for chiming in and giving me a hand. We have high light schedules, the most we get is 20 hours in July I think, and even then, the 4 hours isnt completely black. I will not be able to go out and cover/uncover them to flower, I was intending on letting them go until end of october, but frost will have definatly set in 1/2 through october. You suggest Hollands hope, and early girl for such conditions? I might buy a pack of lowryder auto's just to give em a go, and if they work well then I guess Ill do 100 of them lol. You're right homegrowen is the best.

You do some very nice indoor work!, but your challenge won't be from animals up there in the wilderness of Northern Canada. More likely your short growing season and soil conditions will be a bigger obstacle.

I wouldn't worry too much about anyone finding your locations in the middle nowhere(lol!), nobody will unless you create a path AND someone gets extremely lucky.

I made multiple trips to extend a harvest here in the lower 48, twice daily at sunset and right after sunrise after covering plants last Fall during frost/freeze. Not recommended, but I'm sort of the risk taking type.

Thanks sunbiz. I intend on bringing in my own premixed soil to the site, after I dig out 2 feet where I intend to lay them and see if theres more soil down there, If there is, I will let them grow into it, if not Im diggin 5 5foot holes lol.

Yea Im pretty sure no one will find my crop as I am in the middle of nowhere. (Knocks on wood). Last year I remember our greens being frosted in late september, we get frost in august if we're having a bad summer.

So will the frost 100% kill my hashberry cross? She has purple genetics in her so I think she'd be able to deal with a tempature fluxuation, just not sure how the plant its self reacts to frost because Ive never done outdoor.

Thanks guys, appreciate you giving me all the info I need! :jointsmile: :hippy:

Joel,

I mentioned in my thread about having 1 plant out in the woods last summer and one day when I went to check it, the field around the treeline where the plant was, wasn't mowed came back another time later on in flowering and the field was mowed, and there was a path where you could see the driver avoided hitting the plant. ) Probably just got lucky on my part, but just so you know, some people have a heart and will not steal your crop.

Frost will hurt the younger plants more then the older ones. So, by getting them started inside will help, also with the animals. Damn rabbit ate a small plant and chewed down another last year, so im using chicken wire this year. I have a nice place to grow which helps. Insects are something you better be ready for as there are more of them then big animals for sure. Last year all my plants served up a meal to bugs, but that doesnt mean it killed them, just scared them. Neim oil will help. Spelling is wrong on the niem oil? Someone will help me out here with it.

Good luck bro :weedpoke::rasta:

I just scoped out a terrific area to have my outdoor grow.. probably 20 feet by 20 feet on somewhat of a hillside. Im extremely new to this whole process of growing outdoors, im learning more and more everyday just from reading all these posts on here!:thumbsup: The seeds i used were just out of some dank ass bud i had here over the winter. right now they are all approximately 3 or 4 inches tall, and i plan on keeping them inside for another week maybe?? also im not entirely sure on the number of plants i want to grow in the area. ive got plenty of little babies started.. (35 to be exact.. what doesnt go outside will be given to a buddy who grows inside.) Any suggestions? im really wanting to get atleast 2 pounds to keep me happy for the year.. or atleast half a year :stoned: but continue posting in the thread and ill keep following. all help is greatly appreciated!!!!

I'll let you know on the frost issue after we have one tonight here. I did an intentional experiment to see if 2 different varieties can survive by transplanting outdoors in 80 degree weather...tonight will be down in the 20's.

If I lose them, no biggie...I have lots.:thumbsup:

Also, I abandoned the fishing line technique in favor of using fallen tree limbs. Fishing line stands out like a sore thumb in the sunlight. It's effective, but risky if any people traffic come through...particularly hunters with scopes. Besides, fishing line isn't going to stop a 1,200 Lb. Caribou. You'll need a sturdier barrier anyways.

Nice man yea Ill definatly do the fishing line technique, I dont know why I didnt think about fishing line, I fish all the time! lol. The animals I got around are caribou,elk,deer,moose,wolfs,coyotes, and black/grizzly bears.

In Hawaii all we have are rats and mice. We have deer but they are the size of a Great Dane.

Another thing is that deer are considered exotic and open to removal (hunting)24/7. So I would love to have one come on to my property. It would feed us for a couple of weeks.
