First time growing need pro advice

Im new to the growing world and i want to grow grade A outdoor cannabis in my backyard. I'm goin shopping tommorow and I'm going too get miracle grow potting soil, pots, and clones from the club.
what all do I need too have a successful grow? Is it growing time for outdoor in Northern California?(frost worries)
how should my setup be?
& how long does it take?

OH GOD NO

NO MIRACLE GROW .............never never never use that stuff with weed ,,,,,,,,it will leave a awlful taste in the weed due to the way they feed/time released beeds in the soil .........their organic soil is shit too

if u want to get soil .............Fox Farm Ocean Forest ...Roots organic .....Sunshine Mix #4
any of those 3 will get u something decent

also look up super soil .........this is soil mixed up with all the goodies the plant loves so u do not need to worry about feeding it only watering ( u have to make this yourself with one of those brands of soil plus the worm poop and all that good stuff)


ok out doors u have several issuses to account for
pest control.....bugs and animals .............u should look into repelents ( scent markers of foxes wolves will keep deer away)
controling the area.............ppl are asses and will steal or kill your shit (once u start that area is off limits to everyone but u the less that know the safer it is)
Sunlight.......this is huge u need to figure out where u are getting the best sun for the biggest buds


as for time tables can not really give it to u since the sun dictates the grow of photos and i am not in your area...........u would be planting your seeds about 2 months before u should

look into auto flowering strains if u want to plant something now (they are not controlled by the light so they will grow and then flower on own and u will get a pay off)


look into soil bags they are easy to move around and if the plant gets sick u can flush the soil out easier .........they are listed as fabric soil bags /smart bags/ soil bags

Also using the word pro weirds people out. Lol

Thx that's very helpful info

For christ sake. Use google and search. I hate to be a dick but if you cant answer the questions you asked, then you shouldnt even consider buying anything yet. Seriously.

Sorry but not sorry.. heres my advice.
Use large containers. Id say 20~30 gallon. Start off in smaller pots of course and transplant as needed. As for soil, id go with subcools super soil. You premix all the nutrients right into the soil so you just water the entire grow. Only add nutrients if deficiencies occur. Be sure to top the hell out of them to get bushes rather than a 14 ft christmas tree. Youll probably need a tomato cage of some sort large enough to support her. Find a good insect repellent to ensure the plants arent over run and eatin alive. Tons more but like i said, there are search engines for a reason

ricky.......got to rem alot of ppl still think this is bad so openly talking about it is not something they can do .............and most ppl do not understand the internet and wording so doing work on here can be a bitch ............so they come to theses places instead of reading 2 weeks wroth they gather the set of ?s and post

really should thank the ppl in a 11 months i have cramped in 2 to 4 years worth of info on most subjects dealing with the growth of this plant even allowing me to tweak plants and run ideas other ppl started but i see a twist to them

and all of that just by looking at the ?s they ask and getting the info to help them

guy that orginal posted
the reason i came back was well a idea hit me .................i know a cheap way of guarding your plants ........make a nail borad like they do for bears and set them out at night near your plants .........if ppl come by they will have to step on/near them to get plant odds are they will step on it if placed right ...they scream u turn on lights


cheap..and no one dies (unless they do not get treatment) ...for legal reason post no trespassing signs and enter at own risk this will cover u ask long as u own the land

I'd dig a twenty foot hole around the perimeter of my lot with huge sharpened spikes positioned at the bottom of it and cover it with cardboard and a small layer of sand personally.

I'd dig a 20ft hole in my back yard and then I'd put justugh in it. That right there will make your plants grow much better.

hahahaha ...

This is "newbie central" for a reason. You gotta realize that yes you can google and search your ass off and get 5 million answers that are all different. What information is accurate? Why search the internet for information you cant trust when you have the "experts"...the ppl who have "been there" right here? I asked a ton of questions when I first came here and I learned a ton of information from veteran growers. Thank God they were willing to assist instead of yelling at me to use google. So basically, if you see a "dumb" question, instead of making a dick outta the guy, just keep your fingers off the keyboard and move on, sorry.

Whoa tough guy. 95% of my grow knowledge was from this site. Just glad most people on here are friendly, and not google police.

trust me my body is toxic ..............i was a ginie pig of the state for 11 years ......then the lvls of the drugs they were feeding me got to be above what they were allowed to give me my mind finally cleared becuase of them i lost most of my hair on top of the head by the time i was 21


plus u could never kill me anyways ...........to many ppl like me and would not allow that to happen atleast not untill the body is finally done and nothing will start it anymore

I think I now know why danny wants to bury you lol
