First time grower, first time poster.

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, found it by searching google . I recently came into possession of about 80 seeds from a bag of shake my dealer had thrown my bag of pot into. I decided that since I do like my pot and it can be expensive I'd try growing some outdoor plants. I have too many neighbors and not enough privacy or guts to grow them in my backyard so I plan on growing in some covert areas around me.

Being that I've never actually grown before, I don't know much about anything. I've dome preliminary research here and there but haven't found anything to answer my specific questions. For starters, the seeds. Of the 80 seeds I'd say 5 - 10% are really really small probably a half centimeter in diameter. Im guessing these are too small and can be chucked? The rest are probably double that size, roundish-oval shaped. Some are really large and stand out. The colours are anywhere from a black/brown colour to a green colour, some are still in the leafy outer shell. Which ones would be viable for planting?

I live in southern Ontario, Canada, and Im not sure what season to plant in or how far in advance/how to germinate for planting? I'm also unsure what sorts of areas are good for planting (both in terms of remaining hidden and also yielding good plants.) The weed I got the seeds with wasn't great, but I've heard growing method can determine quality to a great extent. What are some good steps to increase the potency of the plants?

I'm also unsure how long a plant should take to grow and how many seeds I should plant and how many I should expect to mature. If it all went well, I'd like to secure enough for myself and the friend who I share my volcano vaporizer with for the entire winter and until the next crop. Between us we usually go through roughly an ounce a week meaning 52 ounces a year (wow).

Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated whether it's in the form of advice or links to guides that might answer some questions.

Thanks a bunch!
