well for the out door grow ppl should be of finding ur site
south facing, no traffic past it.
do you know what soil type it is
will you bring in ur own soil?
if growing out wild, who's land are you growing on?
now this is something you have to think about!

if you had 1 plant growing inside your house and some1 had planted a couple of plants on ur land.
the plants were found and cops came to ur door warrant in hand.
found the plant growing inside
how do you prove that you weren't growing the 1's outside?
this is what you could do to some1
so pls ppl pick ur site carefully.




i dont plant anything outside till the end of may.
but i do start in the green house in April
i will be growing strawberry blue in all 3 ways
so ppl can see how things go and i will be cloning them
so we can compare the way they grow and yield.
i will be growing other plants this year
lennon, nefertiti, tutankhamon, indian haze, strawberry blue and some flash babylon
the indian haze and lennon will have to be covered come august due to them taking so long to flower

this log and guide will take me 7 months from start to finish
ok i have some plants in the small green house at the min
of 4 Indian haze and flash Babylon some pic below:jointsmile:
the flash went out about 4 weeks ago needs another 6 weeks its an autoflower
the Indian haze is only out 2 weeks want these to grow big and bushy.
and i want male out of them aswell want the pollen to add to the other plants
so hard to get regular seeds these days
my personal seed bank got wiped out by my own carelessness
i will be doing some bag seed aswell

ok the type of green house i am using is like these here

as you can see they are not to bad in price
and you can really see what is in it from 15ft away
plus you can put a pc fan in the top with a rechareabe battery pack(which will show how to build aswell)
to give airflow.

so the out door grow
after you have found ur site clear it of weeds and turn the soil add what you have to
add
dont had fresh manure as this wont break down in time for plants
will burn them and give lock out
buy some mature manure or what ever you can get ur hands on
is there rabbits in the area?
if so will have to put in a fence
a copper pipe flatted and bent round in a ring
at the bottom of the plant
will keep slugs away with out poisoning the birds and wild life

what about this to plant in and has the benefit that you can move it and put ur own growing medium in it?

Potato Planter have a look at them there are small and large ones going to need large

most plants i put out are about 12in high
the main thing for growing plants for outdoors is not let them be soft
if you were growing them inside under lights
when you put them straight out in the sunlight they will burn with the UV rays
to get round this need to put them out in the shade for a week
for them to get used to the different light rays
you may not see much growth in this week or the following week
due to the shock the plant gets new light and new soil.
but these are as they say soft shocks
water supply is something to think about
will you have to cart it far away?
if on a slope make were planting a ridge the lip slightly higher to hold water
or dig a hole and line it to hold the rain water.
now i am one person who will only go back to the plant when there is a long drought
and when it is time to harvest.
i just let them get on with it.
with allot of ppl they may not have some where to dry them out
will also show you how to dry them outside
so start collecting the little nets that garlic comes in and onions
part of what you need and if your growing alot will need alot

i will be back with more :rastasmoke:
