Ok, Im going to germinate my seeds (i have 30) in a 36 x 36 peat greenhouse box in a couple of weeks. I want to know, how big do the plants get from germination to 2 weeks in, because i am gong to transplant them all at once in an undisclosed area, and need to keep the plants at a perfect height for stealth. Any insight would help, thanks.

Awesome, lastly, what are some methods for transporting them. Its about a 30 minute walk, not to arduous, and i need to get them from point A to point B without being sketchy. Im thinking cut the grow pan into two pieces so i get two 6 x 3 little pots and then i have two trips where they are each in the bottom of a square bottomed bag. Any other suggestions/ideas?

theres many ways to transport seedlings, be creative. I just use the beer cups to grow the seedlings in and then use one more on top of it to cover it, use a slice of duckt tape and Throw them in backpack.

thats a good idea dude, if i didn't wait until they're 2-3 ft tall before i transport them, i' d totally do it that way. I might add support to it tho but that's it.

Ok thnanks so much for the information! i have a beautiful plot of land selected with optimal sunlight and no pedestrian traffic. Any tips on what to do to the plants once they are in the ground and in the woods? how often should i visit them? how much water must i try and get to them? how sparsely should they be planted? what precautions should i take for the plants health?

i only visit if i haven't been in a few weeks or i need to water. so if it rains some i might not visit but once every 2 weeks. if it doesn't rain then i vsit once a week and water.

i use old milk jugs for watering, i have 5 gallon buckets for pots so i poor a full milk jug of water per plant.

i have a few sites all with under 10 plants, but usually a few plants from each plot get eaten or just don't make it for one reason or another so by the time flowering comes around i only have about 5 plants per spot.

so about a 50 percent loss should be expected? what about yield? i know it depends on light, and strain, and all this other stuff, but just in general.
