hey fellas, its still a lil to cold to start anything outdoors here on the east coast and im just scheming a couple of ideas on how I want to start this years grow... I was thinking of setting up small plots 3-5 rows of seeds each one. but the general idea was to replace the clay soil that is abundant around here with basic " get the job done " soil.. the kind bushy little ladies love;) and starting them in the ground from seed when spring hits. the theory was to plant them the regular amount down in the soil. quarter-inch deep then sprinkle soil over top then water the soil around the seeds to get them moist and damp , in the meantime the sun will be bearing down on them making them germinate and become seedlings and boom... a guerilla lol just wondering how effective this method is? Thanks

Depending on the hike, you might opt to start them inside? Would give you a jump on the season atleast.

Not an outdoor guy, but good luck to ya!

Already have 2 vegging indoors under CFL now. my question is how effective that idea is on ensuring a harvest with minimum work. Cutting out males/watering even nutes if you use them.

dont be lazy dude. germ them corectly indoors on a window or if you must do it outside make a greenhouse with a plastic bottle. i understand your perdicament about the east coast clay forest pine needly soil. i say dig holes carry bagged soil in, eventually plant your pre-germinated plants and water/feed regularly. you know as well as i do with the extra attention to your seeds you will be a happy man in october. best of luck be safe fellow east coaster. some people say plant near water and i think thats good but hunters and fishers looove those random ponds swamps. not to mention i found a freaking geo caching box near one of my spots i liked.

you will have a very low success rate when planting in the ground. You can easily lose over half the plants you started with. The spring is still very cold, with nights still dipping down to as low as 1 and 2 degree's, germination is very lousy with cold temperatures, and any seedlings that do manage to survive will probably get eaten. A single slug could destroy an entire marijuana seedling in a matter of minutes. There is a lot more bugs and pests that enjoy eating marijuana plants also. Planting in the ground, I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment, and its a huge waste of perfectly viable seeds. Start them indoors for at least 3-4 weeks before bringing outside, under florescents, You could even start them in a sunny southern window. When you bring a month old marijuana plant outside, its a little tougher and bigger then a day or two day old seedling, allowing it to help fight off the elements better. Hope that helps, happy toking :bigjoint:
