Hey.... 666300... I'm also from Canada, just way on the other end, out in BC. I'm planning a similar grow this summer just without the pots. So, from one noob to another, here's the main gist of the replies you'll get: "GO READ". However, since I've read (and retained a small part) I'll share what little I may remember on the condition you go learn the rest. (Check out filesharing programs, (if you're ok with the moral issues surrounded with filesharing) mine is Morpheus and I downloaded a couple good marijuana grow guides.)

Yes, it is possible to grow completely out of doors, however you run a greater risk of low germination and of losing very young, delicate seedlings.

Now here's a sketch of maryjane sex: Female cannabis plants flower, or grow buds. On these buds resin is produced to try to glue some male pollen on themsleves which then make babies... er, seeds. Resin contains THC. We wants THC/resin. Once the pollen comes into contact with the resinous female bud, the bud is pollinated and then turns to seed. No more bud. Now you decide if you want males and females living together. And trust me, them males don't use protection either.

Anyhow. Go read. 'Tis too late here, long Monday... me off to lalaland.
