Beginners Outdoor Advice . .

[Kyle Griffin]

hey everyone this is my first post, i'm planning on growing some plants this year. i got about 200 seeds saved up from past bags that I've smoked. I'm planning on putting them in the ground but in a heavily wooded area. would i have to cut out a area for them to get more light? Wouldnt that be a little suspicious from the air? I also tried last year to grow some seeds but couldn't get them to survive the first two months. Do i need to make a humidity dome for them to survive? I had them in direct sunlight and watered them once every two days.

Any advice would b good.

the hardest part will be finding a good spot that gets lots of sunlight, once youv found a spot u just have to prepare the soil and plant your seeds. Starting them indoors is better and yes a humidity dome is good for germinating

if u cant find a spot in the forrest consider growing somewhere like this


its simply a hillside with a platform we made by kicking the rocky dirt down below a tree so if your looking down the hill all you see is the tree. This spot offers several advantages like little chance of ppl finding it, you dont have to worry about animals or bugs, plants get great sunlight. the only real disadvantage is watering but irrigation can easily be set up

if its a heavily wooded area, you could try growing them in baskets hanging up in the trees. I've never done it, I would only do that with clones in small camoflaged containers I think, so that I could use only fishing line to hang them, and have the other end of the fishing line attached to something on the ground, so as I could let the clones down, water them, then pull it back up with the line again, no climbing. the small size of the containers would make it more discreet. I don't recommend starting seeds in the dirt outside. i recommend starting them at the very least in jiffy peat moss pucks, or very basic soil availiable at the store. then transplanting them in the ground after mixing up the ground with a shovel. that would be what I would do at the very minimum. but dont let the details stop ya from growing.

I'd plant autoflowering seeds: the fewer time you keep the plants around, the better it is. ( In the same time you'd get one yeld, with Autos you get 2 yelds, maybe in two different places).

Also think about SCROG to keep the plants low and unnoticeable...you can find lots of information here on rollitup, just type "Scrog" in the search bar!

Good luck bro

Thanks for all the replies and there are good option presented for the problem. It is in heavily wooded area very near me, but am worried about them getting enough light.

dont feed to much water, youll kill it, and beware if you have kittys or cat around there, if you have some, they can kill plants, ive hearrd and seen
so yea becarefull now

oh and, add some salt around your plant,if you have wter bugs

outdoors is a huge challenge, with bagseed your plants may not even be suitable for your local climate.
Start your plants indoors if at all possible a few weeks before last frost is due.
In a woods is no good you need full sunlight from 10 Am to 3 Pm to get anything to harvest.

if you are needing to put them in the woods, but dnt have enough sun light i would do the following:

look at the direction of the sun, and how it travels throughout the sky in relation to your exact planting location.
Determine where the sun shines threw the canopy of the trees, and then find the spot with the most sunlight throughout the entire day. If no one spot can receive sunlight for atleast 5-6 hours every day, then your plants will not yeild much bud. You can cut limbs off trees to create a gap in the canopy thus increasing light beaming down.

keep in mind that the first 5 hours of sunlight in the morning are the most beneficial to your plants, so think about that when you are finding your planting locations

ya sunlight is important, i grew some plants (3 indicas, 3 sativas) in the forrest, in the ground last summer around some trees, they got decent of sunlight throughout the day but not enough direct sunlight. Because of this they didnt finish flowering in time (see pics) while the same plants recieving
direct sunlight elsewhere finished just fine.

I appreciate all the advice. I was thinking of cutting down whole trees but just trimming off branches is easier and a whole lot less suspicious from the air. I had no choice to go with bagseed.
