Going to grow outdoors...(Help)

bzilem said:

Hi guys, OK I'm somewhat of a newb and I'm gonna grow for the first time here in the next week or so and I'd like to get a few things cleared up before my first grow.

A little information on what I plan on doing
-Growing outdoors in the woods
-I'm going to plant 10 seeds
-Planting in Texas weather


This is basically what I got out of reading guides and what not, correct me if i'm wrong or please tell me anything I forgot


Ground that weed is planted in needs...
potting soil
perlite
building sand
worm casting
fertilizer ( Jack's Classic All Purpose Plant Food for indoor and outdoor plants, trees, shrubs, vegetables, and turf from J.R. Peters, Inc., Fertilizer Manufacturer)


-Put the seeds in wet paper-towels until they sprout
-Once sprouted plant into the ground with sprout on top
-Place seeds about 3ft-ish apart
-Take the male plant out of the ground asap
-Once hairs on the bud are 3/4 brown then its time to harvest
-Harvest the plant
-Once harvested then time for the bud to dry out for a couple days
-Then time to smoke





Questions

1. I want to do the whole putting the seeds in the paper-towel method and was wondering if it was ok to put the seeds directly in the ground after sprouting?not if you are sprouting them indoors. Sprouts are very sensitive and it might kill them if you just take them and plop them in the soil. You would be better off just putting the seed itself in the soil than doing that.

2. I would like to try putting the seeds in distilled water before putting into paper towels, has any1 had experience with this noticed a difference than just putting into paper towels
no idea

3. Ive read alot guides but the "life cycle" wasn't really clear to me, about how long does it take to get to the flowering period and how long is the vegetative growth period and all of that other good stuff?If you are planting them outside then that is all taken care for you. The plants will start to flower once ready and the males will flower first and have little nasty balls and them. They are males so you want to chuck them out 'cause they are useless.

4. I plan on getting 10 "THC BOMB" seeds that are not feminized, and the yield is up to 700g m2, if all goes well how much bud should I expect to get? ( THC Bomb Marijuana Seeds )That isn't something anyone can answer for you. That all depends on so many variables...growing experience...location ...sunlight etc
