Complete Newbie To Growing...Help Me Out

I have 20 some-odd seeds that came from this midgrade that I bought. The condition that the bud was in wasn't all the great, since it was just processed midgrade stuff that was grinded and compressed, but the bud seems good...there were a lot of hairs and it smoked pretty well. I decided I'm going to try to grow these seeds outdoor, but I don't know jack about growing. So here are my questions...

1. Throughout spring, would it be possible to grow a decent yield of weed in Upstate New York? (This is near West Point. I live in an isolated mountain with a bunch of rich people so nobody would even be suspicious) I have a perfect spot that gets a lot of sun, and the plants would blend in perfectly.

2. If I decide to grow, would I be able to just use the soil that is there (the area has lots of plants springing up all around it with high grasses), or should I get ahold of some from home depot? I'm not old enough to drive until August, so it would be tougher for me to get a hold of all this stuff.


3. What parasites should I watch out for?

4. How often/frequently should I water my plants before they spring up?

5. How often/frequently should I water my plants once they start to grow?

6. When do I get rid of the male plants? How do I determine them from females?

7. When do I harvest?

8. How do I cure the buds?

9. Would it be at all possible to just drop the seeds in the ground and water, or should I clear out an area, block it off, etc?

Thanks a lot ahead of time, I hope to have a lot of fun in the future growing...
