Are you gonna be putting them in the ground or in pots? I grew in pots last year (check out the journal in my sig) and I wish I'd have put them in the ground - would've yielded much more.
And you might want to start some more seeds if you've got them. The outdoors can be harsh, and you need to account for males.
For example:
Last year I started with 10 plants:
- 2 were found by cops/whoever owned the property -
- 3 died in a bad storm
- 2 were bulldozed by a developer (long story short)
- and I harvested the remaining 3 which all happened to be female
Thats a 30% harvest ratio - hopefully you've got some more secure spots - my grow was a total guerilla grow. But even if its secure you still have pests, animals, storms, and males to account for. Just think about it - you've still got plenty of time to start some more seeds.

I'm at college right now and I'm planting them at home. I'm not going home for two weeks, so that's why I'm waiting. Plus, there isn't much foliage yet where I plan on planting, so to find the best spot, I need to find where it will be the sunniest. I figure in a couple of weeks the leaves will be thicker and I can find some sunny spots.
I'm putting them in the ground for sure. I've heard there is less chance of damage to the plant and there is more growth. No worries about anyone finding it, it's my property and my mom wouldn't go back there if her life depended on it. Cops would have no reason to unless someone tipped them off, and there's no suspicion b/c I ride back there. Storm is really my only worry, but I'm willing to take the chance.
I am thinking about germinating some more, but I have no seeds at this time. I can't buy anything either. So, I'm working on it. Thanks for looking out though.
I checked out your journal, pretty badass, except for the whole losing seven plants thing. I could only hope to get as much as you did.
