[azsxdc]

ok so ive read up and down these forums and come to find out most of what i read is bullshit. someone says do it this way and everyone else has their way. i want to grow some fire ass buds outside and i would like to know the best way to truely do this. ive got the concept of germinating and fertilizers need female plants blah blah blah. what i want to know is what kind of bug spray do i want? how often should i water?(i live in texas it hasnt rained in like 4 months) can it grow when its cold outside?(our weather as of 02/02/06 is about 60-75 degrees in daytime) and if i think of anything else ill post it but i think thats all i need to know for now.

Welcome new grower!

Well, the thing with opinions, is that they're like assholes... everybody has one.

You just have to read-up, and make your best decision based on what info you've got. It also helps to post your plans/ideas clearly in your thread, so others can read it and comment.

I promise, if you write clear questions, people will answer. Un-clear question almost always get 0 answers.

As to your outdoor grow, I'm sorry man, I can't give you much usefull input other than what you already know. I'm a newb on my 1st grow, and you've got everything pretty much covered... I don't know... Texas, outdoors... ??? Maybe you can do a "timed" reservoir... ???

Best,

ok you said clear questions?

- will it grow outside while its colder?

- what bug spray should i use?

- and about how many times a week should i water it?

i mainly got it covered, it also wouldnt be my first time doing this but i never got a yield due to outside forces, ex people stealing it, bugs and other stupid ass reasons but ive had plants growing before i got a pic from a few years ago i didnt lose, i had about 10 plants and lost all the pics but a pic of 3 i also had many other pics of different grows but since i got this new pc thats the only one i could carry over cuz i had it uploaded on a different profile(note this year we had a little rain, and i did nothing it was growing wild)

Well, it's a weed... and if there's a will, there's a way... you should check out the min/max temperatures for cannabis plants over @ OverGrow's FAQs... but OverGrow's down... but you probably already knew that...

Bug spray::: No idea. Never had problems with bugs. But, use the search function... try a couple of different keywords... I know I've read some very interesting home-made remedies for all kinds of different bugs... all in these boards.

How many times a week? Well, I water my girls about 1 day yes, 1 day no, ... aka; every other day.

But you having your girls outside... I wouldn't know... are they in pots, or are they in the ground, like in the picture? Just water it as a regular house plant. I guess ??

well as for this year i havent started yet, i started germination yesterday and no sprouts yet but the plan is to dig a good size hole and fill it with miracle gro then grow the sprouts indoor until they are a good foot or foot and a half tall because trial and error i found out sprouts outside grow funky ass shaped plants lol then transplant all the plants outside until and let them get big enough to where i can tell the sex, kill males and upkeep them from there -- any thoughts as to how i can improve my method? ive done this for a few years with no yield yet and its pissing me off like i said before outside forces like the plants lol(the bug spray problem i have is i dont want to use chemicals and i have no other clue as to how to keep them away, i am also not to sure on the homemade solutions im skepticle)

[turtle420]

Just keep @ it... I'm going to go look for some bookmarks I've got on my other computer and post them... they're about outdoor grows....

Anyways, I suggest you don't use Miracle Grow... supposedly, it gives the buds the taste of, well, Miracle Grow. That would suck... to smoke MG.

eh never heard that its good to know tho - the way i plan to do it this year took 3-4 years of trial and error and if anyone can help me improve on it id appreciate it but your right on those questions i was asking i just need to find a good way to keep bugs off and i should be good. ALL TIPS WANTED AND APPRECIATED

Dont plant outside if it ever reaches under 70 more than once a week. Watering depends on how wet the dirt stays, you should always keep the top layer of soil moist, NOT SOAKED, NOT MUDDY, but moist. Im almost sure that MG thing isnt true, but I use normal potting soil, get at least 10 gallons of it. Dig about a 2x2 hole that is about 3 to 4 feet deep. One hole per plant, the deeper the hole , the bigger the roots, the bigger the plants. Dig about 10 holes plant your seeds outdoors unless you want to go throw the transplanting crap, anyway, plants your seeds around March 15. As for the bugs and the thefts... well I can tell you about a product that will more than speed up the flowering more than 200%. If you dig big holes, keep moist and above 75 degrees, you could end up with an end result of a little under 3/4 a pound on each plant provided that the plants genetics produce a decent amount of buds. If you want info on the flowering product or if you have more questions leave a post. Ive grown many times under cheaper conditions so if you dont have money I can help you out with my cheap grow guide lol.

well i ask about cold weather because everyone down here gets "christmas bud" during the winter if its grown outside which is pretty much dro sold at regular prices, crystals and everything but not hydroponically grown so i might give it a try even tho it wont be cold much longer if i can get it going now its worth a try for next winter but ive never tried before. like i said all the help i can get i would like send me a line with that info u said you have

much appreciated keep sendin help its ALL appreciated

It's not only about temperature it is about amount of sunlight, you should start your plant indoors for at least a week to let it sprout and grow a little, but you should let it grow for a few weeks and transplant it outside on the first week of spring. Im almost sure that during spring we recieve 12 hours of darkness and 12 hours of light, which is the amount of light and darkness need to get a plant to flower. Im not sure if I understood you but I think you want to grow outside during winter. This wouldn't work unless you got prefectly breeded seeds, winter doesn't provide enough sunlight. But if you are sure that you have a plant that can survive the cold, then go for it I guess. But I say just plant the seed in the ground during the first week of Spring... but if you can wait I'd say start them now transplant them later. Don't start too soon, If you let the plant grow indoors for more than 4 or 5 weeks it will take time and effort to get it to adjust to the sun's light. And about that info on cheap growing, give your email address and I'll tell you how you can grow for... $5-$10
