there is nothing wrong with going at night especially to place out your plants there is alot of excuses you can use for being out there otherwise, but its kinda hard not to look suspicious carrying 10 -20 plants that may be 6 to 12 inches tall, personally wouldnt use a light no more than you had to, if its in a very populated area.
ideally you should start them indoors and use a seedling tray or you can start them in plastic or styrofoam cups after poking a few holes in them for drainage either would work fine and should be easy to pop out and transplant in your grow spot and you may want to place clones out instead of seedlings seeing how you are familiar with growing indoors and most definatly the way to go if you are going to buy seeds.
if you cannot go back very often would atleast use some water crystals in the soil to help the plant make it through the drier times it is a weed and can often survive with just rainfall alone but it will not grow as good as a plant that is taken care of and your yield will probably suffer, as mentioned above by stinky you should go back to weed until your plants get established local weeds will often smother out your plants if you dont go back every couple of weeks until they get large enough it is no longer a concern would plan on making atleast 2 to 3 visits just to weed in the first 6 weeks of putting your plants outside.
as per yield it can vary so much if a plant is not given ideal conditions wouldnt even attempt to guess.
not to mention that so many things can happen to the plants outdoors from mother nature, animals, theft, found by leo, etc would plan on planting 3 times more plants than what you want to harvest and space them out a little dont put a bunch of plants in one spot.

Now i have acesss to a good vehicle and want to plant outdoors- guerilla style. I'd like to plant in two different spots. I won't be able to regularly care for any plants. My questions are: Is it better to start with seedlings than planting? For seedlings, what size is best to plant at? What do i grow seedlings in? I tried peatpots and wasn't Rating: 5
