Welcome!

Poly tunnel... Nice! I like it... Height is going to be an issue for sure though. To work around this issue, you should find a way to either SCROG or grow side ways.... I'd recommend an indica dominant strain because of height constraints. Strains that are labeled for outdoor growing are strains that are very robust and will outgrow an indoor enclosure at a rapid rate. You can pretty much choose the strain of your choice for outdoors but since this will be your first grow, I think an indica would suit you better than a fast growing/stretching sativa.... Or you can get an autflower strain.... The question you need to ask yourself is - Do I want something that is going to give me a body high or head high????

Hope this helps....

Lots of people here to answer questions but you will also have to do a lot of research yourself as well. Enjoy the ride!!!

what up mate. Welcome to CANNABIS.COM!

So frist things frist.
so i take it your growing outdoors and if so does it need to been hidden from the public or are you growing on you own land that others have no access to? If it needs to be hidden id go with a INDICA dominant strain (short stature, fat wide leaves, shorter flowering period). If the skys the limit then id go with a sativa (TALL, long lanky branches, skinny leaves).

POLYTUNNEL isnt needed but if your able to get one then id get it if it doest need to be hidden or if you got different plants your gonna grow along with your cannabis plant(S). If just for your cannabis plant then that works too.

NUTRIENTS are gonna be needed. NO MIRICAL GROW!!!! WILL POISON YOUR PLANTS ALONG WITH LEAVING HARSH CHEMICALS AFTER USE. If You dont feel like mixing all kinds of nutrient together go with MAXIBLOOM. You can use that 1 product through out your whole grow.

CONTAINERS AND SOIL. now are you using a pot or are you digging out a hole and filling it with soil? Fox Farm has amazing ORGANIC soil and have a good rep. If YEILD is what your looking for then you want a minimun of a 5 GALLON POT or GROW BAG (better choice then plastic container and CHEAP). SATIVAS roots also grow more abudent then a INDICA during flowering. THE BIGGER THE ROOTS THE BIGGER BUDS!

START indoors untill the plant is at it 4th OR 5th internode or easy known as sets of leaves. 2 26w CFLS will do that just fine. start in a 16oz plastic cup then transplant to ur POTS/GROWBAGS.

GENETICS. If u want guaranteed female get FEMINIZED SEEDS if not then its a 50/50 chance of female (dont wanna waste a outdoor grow on a male. GOOD SEED COMPANY worldwide marijuana.com

Also how would rain effect the plant or do I leave the plant exposed to the elements

I would dig a 1' wide x 1' deep trench all the way around the poly tunnel. Then dig another trench and connect it to divert rain water away from your plants. This would really help if you have rain pouring for a whole week. Definitely don't want your roots to stay moist for too long.... If you can plant on a natural slope of land, even better....

theres nothing wrong with miracle grow.dont mind him.you just need to makes some coctail out of them and flush your plants twice before you send your babys to heaven.make sure you use anty mould seeds
