Ok, I live in Long island New York and I want to grow for personal use. I have found a pretty good spot in the woods which gets sunlight. I just want to know if my plan on how I am going to grow will work. I am going to list my plan and please give me some tips and suggestions if I am getting anything wrong. Thanks! 1) First I am ordering these seeds called Top44 because I heard they are a good plant and easy to grow for a first timer. This is the website I am getting it from: http://buycheapseeds.com/ (the seeds I am buying are the second last one from the bottom of the page) I should receive them in about 10 days-14 days. 2)Next I am going to germinate the seeds through the paper towel method shown on this thread: http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/15076-germination-420-a.html I am going to leave it in the cup until it has 3 sets of leaves. 3) Once the plant has three leaf sets, I am going to transfer it into a 10 inch pot and place it outside in the spot I found in the woods. Once I transfer it, I am going to start growing it with the low stress training technique found in this thread: http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/122936-how-lst-low-stress-training.html 4) This is where I need a little help because I am confused on which soil to use when I transfer the plant into the 10 inch pot. Any suggestions on which soil to use found on a website or any store would be great. 5) After I figure out which soil to use, I am going to water it every other day. Also since I am doing low stress training, there is no need to transfer the plant into the ground right? So please read this and give me suggestions or changes on how I should grow outdoors. Please give me advice on which soil to choose and overall if you think that my growing plan will be a success. Thanks everyone!
If your gonna use a 10 inch pot youll want to do another transfer into a 5 gallon bucket or so once it grows a little. Im doing an outdoor grow and ill be using Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil, im going to dig a hole in the ground and fill it with the soil so this way i wont need to worry about correct sized pots. Also watering it every other day is probably unnessecery, youd end up creating a path to your plot which could be easy to follow for anyone who goes by, id say you only would need to water every 3 or 4 days?
