outdoor growing in new york

I want to start growing next year going in the spring of next year the only problem is i can't grow indoor because of parents, i think i found a few nice spots to grow once the time comes, but what i need to know is:

1.what kind of seeds are good for outdoor growing.
2.how much water is required, like everyday or once a week?
3.Is there anything i can do now to prepare where im growing?

 

cannabis seeds would be a good start..

depends on how much it rains.

Wait for the ground to thaw out. Its kinda late now. If you havent tried digging frozen ground. Its not fun.

 

i meant like what strain is good to grow in the new york, and the ground isnt to frozen yet, still above 50 degrees everyday

 

1...any seeds out of any weed you buy is fine..
2...not every day...every day is too much...in NY you will get a crop with once a week...way better with every 3rd or 4th day
2..yes...go dig the holes and fill them with soil and if you can?some worms....rookies make the mistake of digging way too narrow holes....dig a 3 feet across and 3 feet deep[per plant] if you want a big yield...the holes are the single hardest thing to accomplish...use a ''tri-mix'' bought at a garden store and mix it with some of the dirt from the grow area....if you are worried about watering?,,some growers are using silica beads thrown into the holes first..they absorb and hold water for when you cant make it...silica beads are in the cat litter isle...

good luck...pics next year please

be careful...its deer season

 

I have a few of those beads you said, and with the holes, should i get soil from the store or is the soil there fine and just needs to be turned over to redistribute the nutrients? Oh and don't worry their aren't deers where i plan on planting

 

i couldnt say unless i saw the area...a good way to tell?is there LOTS of natural vegetation[good]..are there pine trees nearby[good]...do you know clay when you see it...roots will not penetrate clay with good results..turning clay is useless..if you think the soil is good then no probs...remember..the branches grow out as far as the roots..this is why you want WIDE holes..with narrow holes you may end up with a too tall spindly plant....you should research 'training'..the art of keepimg your plant low and growing along the ground

 

No, i don't know what clay looks like, what are the physical differences from clay to usable soil? Also when should i actually go about planting the seeds?

 

and i heard from somewhere to put the seeds in wet paper towels before I actually put them in the ground

 

we will help anyone with a question...lets go slow please...the info is already on the site and us stoners hate typing

clay is lighter in colour..more dense than soil and you can shape clay....

germinate in towel yes...its not that simple...

you need to read some...get a base of knowledge first..that way we arent wasting our time,right?.

thanks for the help

 

avoid tap water treated with floride and/or chlorine

 

Really?

 

you let tap water sit long enough, there is no chlorine..

fluoride is found all over the world and isnt limited to tap water, concentration of fluoride are higher in some spring water due to natural contents of fluoride..

 

correct...for the field i use local swamp water ..for seedlings i use only water from a dehumidifier...

 

Ok, so no tap. Would bottled water work better instead? Oh and i just found out im going to be away from home and won't be able to get to my grow spot for 5 days maybe 6, should i arrange someone to water them while i'm gone (i think i know two people i can trust to do it) or will that be a short enough about of time, and lets just assume it doesn't rain once while i'm come just so i know worst case scenario.
