how do you properly plant clones outside??????

[420greendream]

Im looking to go to the dispensary and pick up some clones to plant outside. Im looking to plant in a swampy/muddy area so im probably going to have to keep them in pots. Im not sure how i would set up a grow since ive never grown outside. Should i immediately put the clone in its permanent pot and put it outside or let it grow in its cup then transplant it? (Starting them inside is not an option, they will go straight outside)

if you guys have any other tips for planting clones outside or insight on outdoor growing, PLEASE feel free to comment.

Hey, u can't just put them outside as u need to harden them off(slowly introduce them to outdoor environment) by placing them outdoors a few hours a day. U can transplant once the root is established and make sure u follow the moon when transplanting. The plant will do best when the moon is on it's growth cycle(waxing).

U also will need to protect the plant from native animals and bugs...I like 1/2 teaspoon phosphate free dish soap in a gallon of water and spray it on the entire plant except toward flowering. Organic fertilizers are more forgiving than chemicals. Keep it simple...I find that to be the best way when starting off as we all make many mistakes. I don't wanna talk too much but if u have any more questions feel free to message me. Check out weedfarmer.com and read the entire grow guide outdoor thread. Ull have all ur answers in one place.

Dont plant clones outside until May 1st because theres not enough light. The clones will just flower and not veg. But seed starts will be ok outside early and will veg properly.

Im not checking you out at weedfarmer.com, i dont like it. Also to all growers out there, BUILD A STEEL FENCE AROUND YOUR VALUABLE PLANTS, not dish soap,hair, lion piss, fuckin human shit etc wont work and its a matter of time before they get eaten.

Hey, a fence will work but I can tell u that fishing line around the perimeter along with a mix of rotten eggs, water, hot peppers and garlic kept everything away. There are many options, I'm just stating some that worked for me. Also, in weedfarmers defence I like gathering info from many sources and IMO weedfarmer.com is great all around for anyone starting out.

yeah deer and animals are a big worry i have about growing outdoors. especially since i live here in michigan. im thinking of growing autoflowers so they can finish early before they get eaten.
