1st time grower.

[I Dont Smoke...]

Okay, so I dont have enough money to afford a apartment or place of my own yet, so while i attend school, i am just staying with my parents. i wanna grow a plant or two in the woods behind my house, but i dont think i will be able to tend to them very frequently without there being suspicion from my parents. would i just be able to start some plants, away from my house and just let them grow their own way, without constanly using fertilizers or whatever.. i know this wont be very good bud, but would it work?

well i dont think you can just " let them grow " for however long you think, you have no idea about the weather, the diseases your plant can get, or if it will even survive as a sprout without checking on it every two or three days.

It should absolutely work. I would start the seed in small cups (keg cups) that you can keep hidden close by until the seedlings are established. Once a few sets of leaves develop, plant them out in the woods to fend for themselves. That being said, you should put some effort into preparing the soil where you will plant them. Some compost mixed into the native soil will work wonders. For fertilizer, I'd suggest Osmocote. While this is not made from organic sources, it does contain all the trace minerals the plants will need, AND it will last for three months or so. If you experience drought conditions, you probably will have to sneak out there once a week or so to water, but during a good year, you can leave them to do their own thing. Also, come June or July, check for males and pull them so you don't wind up seeding your crop.

Good luck

Alright. I was thinking of doing something similar to that. I will be able to tend to them at least twice a week, so they should be fine... thanks for the advice =D.

Make sure they're a good distance away, you never know just how much it might smell...
