I've decided that I'm finally going to start growing. Guerilla growing anyway. I started my seeds in a plastic Zip lock baggie with a moist paper towel. 10 germinated, and now I plan to set them up in a 8'x10' space I have picked out in a remote area (I have 4 different spots I will plant 10 plants each in). In all my spots, I gathered a lot of brush to create a 3' high barrier that doesnt look awkward and hides the pots, and to keep deer out of my area. I also have used some fishing line. My plans are to use small pots (maybe 4"-5" wide) to start my 10 plants. Can I start them directly outdoors, and how? My friend told me to cover the pots with zip lock bags. Will it dry up the soil if I put larger zip lock baggies over the tops of the pots to kind of act like a greenhouse (before they have sprouted)? How often do I water them for the first few days before they sprout? If so, how often would I have to water them if the pots are in direct and indirect sunlight all day from 7-9? I know I'm probably worrying too much about it, after all it is a weed, but I want to get them started soon because it's already the beginning of June. I have good soil, it's expensive and it's Miracle Grow. All help is appreciated. Thanks.
-Ditch the miracle grow. It's crap. Instead, go to a plant nursery or large garden center and look for an organic potting soil that is amended with goodie's like bat/bird guano, kelp/seaweed, worm castings & hydrated lime. -Plant the germed seeds in 6" planters (you can get used ones free from large nurseries) and keep in the shade until they sprout then move into partial shade then 3 days later into full sun. -Water as needed. When they are tiny they may need a bit of water 2x/day. Keep the top 3" of soil lightly moist. -no baggie's. -Marijuana is not a weed.
a 3' barrier wont keep deer out....round here deer can hop over 10' fences around the naval air station
