Okay, so my first outdoor grow is coming up, and I figured I'd ask some questions, ect.
So, tomorrow (April 25th) I will be planting 10-20 seeds in a forest area. I will keep them in solo cups for 2-3 weeks, depending on how fast they grow, then transplant them to the ground. The same day, I will tie down the main stalk, and run it around the hole that it's growing in.
Today, however is a bit of an important day as well, since I am bringing the cups, and soil to the site. I will also be digging the 10 holes to begin with. After the plant is about 3', I will remove the cage that I made for them, since they SHOULD be strong enough to handle small critters.(that's what the cage was for)
Also, as to not fuck this grow up, I am going to get small lunch sized paper bags, spray-paint them black, and put them on the 3rd set of leaves, once maturity is reached.
There are alot of variables though, like the unknown strain. I've never grown out any of these seeds, I just know they were fucking incredible. And, I've never grown outdoors before, so I don't know how fast they will grow a week, month, ect. PLUS What if my fishing line, and cages don't work, and they all get eaten over the night..
Once the 2-3 weeks is over, and transplantation has taken place, I will break the stalk, and make a circle around the hole, when it's the whole way around, I will allow the second branches to grow, at which time, maturity will probably be hit, so I will put the paper bags on for 3-6 days, and cut males early..(marking females first, as to not pull them, too)
Questions..
1: How much height will the plants get(average)
2: What is a sure-fire way of getting rid of all the small, and not so small threats to the garden(animals)
3: Do you think 1.5-3 oz/Top is too much to hope for?( I plan on 15-20 tops/plant)
Any questions, advice, suggestions, whatever are more than welcome. I need to get my plans down, so I don't have to think about it any more lol.. thanks, peace
