Starting in May?
I got some first timer questions for outdoors.... id apreciate the help....
1. Is it safe to germinate my seeds, dig some holes, fill with potting soil, then put the germed seeds into the soil during mid May and they still finish in hot temperatures? or is that too late? cuz thats the only time i can get the cash for my seeds... =/
2. Do i absolutly need Nutes, ect? or can i just give them their dossage of bottle watter every few days?, cuz i might not be able to rack in more cash, so im just wondering if its possible to grow without extra shit for the plants.
3. When im planting the seeds into the soil holes outside, it seems difficult to just drop the seed with the tail pointing down with accuracy.... how can i do this easier and safer?... but just aiming a dropping will be fine if i have to...
4. when the plants are JUST planted with white tails just popped and put into soil, do i only water them with afew drops for that first week?... or more?..
5. I have a huge growspace, i was wondering how far males and females have to be seperated to not get effected by the pollen...
Thank you so much, if you can answer all of these i will happily be on my way to a nice stash this spring!!!

Well it isnt "safe" to start your seeds in the ground but you could do it. You have to worry about a lot of things going wrong but if your lucky you'll be able to do it without problems. You can plant in may. You dont need nutes but they help... a lot. You should be able to set the seed right side up, if not just play with it a little until it is right side up. If you can't drop them in that way then dont, plants grow toward the sun so it will find its way out of the ground. Just kill the males... your growspace isnt that big, pollen can travel far, very very far. These answers arent specific at all so if you need me to further explain anything than ask. If you want to start earlier but you need seeds let me know. Goodluck

1. Well, the enviromental conditions are ideal for the seedlings, but imagine if a tiny snail comes to your garden and eats a little greeny! Tomorrow, the snail eats an another
Or they can be trampled by larger animals, and other weeds can suppocate them. Nature is quite dangerous for them until the are big and strong enough to fight, or at least survive these "enemies". I used to grow seedlings in a cultivator outdoors so they are well protected and adapted to the climate. May is a fair sowing date, I read an article that recommends to sow by June! Last year I started five seeds at the middle of June due to personal problems and - from four females - I still managed to harvest enough bud to last until next year harvest.
2. For any plant - not just marijuana - the most effective feeding method is to plant them in good soil and fertilize only to compensate certain deficiencyes. And don't bother about the cash, fertilizers are quite cheap if administered in the proper dosages. With one bottle, you can fertilize a dozen plants every summer for years.
3. Cannabis is just a weed, and a very strong one. It doesn't matter how you plant them, they'll find upwards by sensing gravity, and growing the opposite way.
4. I don't understand this. Just planted with white tails?
5. According to the wind, pollen can travel great distances so you can have a sinsemilla garden or a seed crop, not both but don't grow seeds. It is best to order seeds from seed banks to get the best of the strain. If you're growing a stabilised, inbred plant they will be weaker with every generation. If you're growing a hybrid plant, offsping will grow to different phenotypes, most of them will be very unlike and weaker than the parent plants.
Hope I helped you
Have a nice crop!

Ah, now I understand. For a germinating seed, you should water just enough to keep the soil moist, not muggy. As a plant grows, it's roots will spread wide and deep to get access to more and more soil, and thus the moisture retained in the soil. So the larger the plant, the more water supplyes become available to it. For this reason, you need to water only if it hasn't rained for a long time and there're still no clouds in the sky. Many would argue with this, but if you water a plant that's soil already has a good amount of water the excess will only drain lower in the earth. By the way, it is healthy for a plant to have the top layer of soil dryed from time to time: this way, the upper roots can take up oxigen while the lower roots still get the plant some moisture.
