...so I'm poppin some seeds, and bustin out some clones for the springtime. I'm seeing when other north carolina growers plant theirs. Its hard to tell since we have crazy ass weather, but I'm wanting opinions from experienced people living in my area. I was planning on April 15th to be the earliest I would transplant outdoors. What about you guys?

Apr 15 should be fine, maybe Apr 30 to be safe, since it's been colder than normal this year. My girls got attacked by spider mites last year, so I stocked up on Neem oil. Good Luck!

Mt. Lion,coyote, wolf,ect ect piss....
Yea on second thought don't use that, high power stuff might kill plants,
Maybe put some mice traps and some rabbit traps out but the piss will get rid of all that,
Lady bugs are insect eaters so id go with that cause a lady bug army will devistate any insect! !!

i'll have to order them when it gets warmer, or they'll surely die.

Im growing Northern lights x Big Bud, White Widow x Big Bud, LA Woman, and The Church. 2 of each. Yeah I found a great spot near a pond that got a good amount of direct sunlight. I had to cut through a whole patch of vines with only my dull machete. I'm looking for good soil, but cheap too. I've got plenty of time tho.

oh trust me, this is my full time job. i just finished building a shed out of scratch, including electrical, insulation, etc, to start my crop off in.

and you guys are doing what i'm trying to do. a few small patches. i just finished clearing one yesterday. 4-6 plants will be planted there. and its extremely hard to get into, and even see. its surrounded by vines and thorns and foliage. i've been scavenging around for other areas throughout the land that's around me with good sunlight, but their hard to find.

are u guys planting in the woods or what? mine will be close to the edge of a pond. that's the only place i could find that got the most sunlight.

im recently new to growing but I do live in the NC mountains and I have been experimenting for a couple weeks. I have had quite a few plants outside since it has been so warm and have kept them outside all but one night and they are doing amazing. I also have a few on a 150 watt HPS and i'm 12/12 with them just trying to get some buds and experimenting around learning I guess you could say!
