just plant, in a few different areas if some asshole decideds to steal them..At least he only got one crop......so i f you plant more than one obviously more buds!!!
When To Plant In the spring, after the spring soltice (Mar. 20 this year) and after the last danger of frost has passed. If you don't know when that is in your neck of the woods, call a local nursery and ask them. So it's months off, and you have a lot to do before you plant seeds anyway: finding a location and prepping the area. However, you can give your plants a head start and a great advantage if you start them inside right about now. If you put them outside at the start of spring when they're already a foot tall, they'll be able to jam right off the bat. To start them inside you'll need a growspace, with lights and ventilation. And you'll want to raise them under 16/8 light. If you want to start them inside, count backwards 4 weeks and start them inside then. Btw, 4/20 is a great time to plant.
well right now i am currently growing 15 NY City Diesel and they are only 9 days above soil from seed, so they wont be done untill 4/20, but they obviuosly are going to go in the flowering cab, so i will have my veg cab.....but the only thing is i only wanted to keep my outdoor plants inside for only 2- 3 weels, and i was going to put out 50 or so plants, 5 in each area, and i already have the areas preped, i have ot drive about a half hour to get there and then walk i'd say 2 miles, but obviously im not going to put all 50 near each other....... what do u think about the strains i have so far for outdoors........ Pure Power Plant x B52 (femmed) NY City Diesel NL #5 thats what i've got so far and i live in NH.......what other strains woudl u suggest?
Of all aspects of marijuana growing, knowledge of specific strains is what I'm most lacking in. But since you live in N.H. where I believe cold weather come's early, if I were you I'd pick strains based on how long flowering takes/when they finish. Most seed banks websites contain that info. I've never been to much into strains. I've always tried the parent plants' buds before I've started the seeds/put out clones. Here's how I judge strains: If it gets me to where I wanna be, high-wise, that's good. I like to have S-dom's for when I'm active--out and about like hiking or rafting. But S's also tend to make me paranoids which is not good for where I live, deep in the woods, surrounded by bears and lions. Kickin it at home I prefer an I-dom.
It is a difficult thing to control unwanted water covering the ground .If its a high water table causing it then your fucked.If its run off from rain then either find the source and change its avenue of travel or bring in a massive amount of top soil to raise the elevation of the ground above the flooding depth.No easy or cheap way about it.
lol, wow geck, I think if you're trying to make a point you're better off asking something that requires expertise to answer, not common sense.
ranger ur my hero iv gained so much knowledge from reading ur posts and i dident even have 2 leave the forum p.s. how much do u smoke man? if u got mad budds comming out ur ears u must b ripped all the time ,oh man it makes me smile just thinking about it peace and keep up the awesome work
Thank you kindly STON3R. I haven't posted recently because that there is nothing you can do right now outdoors except possibly hike around and look for a place to have a garden. Things will start to chage 03/20--the vernal equinox (first day of spring). All you can do right now is get ready. Re-read my earlier posts in this thread.
is april to late to veg plants and plant them outside, veg for about 3 weeks.........grown in 5 gallon buckets????
Dangers In The Woods Plants Poison oak,ivy,sumac: Basically the same plant, it can grow as a bush or small tree or a vine. They can be plentiful. In California it is the most common wild native plant near streams. They can be indentified by their leaves. You don't want to get "bit" by one of these. You'll be itching for weeks. And a BAD itch thatg will keep you awake at night, and if you scratch it, it will never go away. Once I was clearing an area for a garden deep in the woods and pulled up some dead plants (they didn't have any leaves so I didn't recognize them as poison oak). I got it so bad the toxin was in my blood and I had to go to a clinic and get an injection and take steroids for a month. Stinging Nettles: hurts as bad as a bee sting. The first time you brush up against one of these fuckers with your bare skin, it will feel like someone just drove red-hot needles into your flesh. How to identify these plants--ask a boy scout or backpacker, or visit a Forest Service Office or go on a Sierra Club/nature hike. Insects Usually just a minor annoyance. Except for mosquito's which can transmit West Nile and ticks, which can transmit Lyme disease. Long-sleeved shirts and long pants with liberal amt's of Deep Woods or repellents which are DEET-based helps, and there are natural repellents you can spray on. Eating a few cloves of garlic will help keep the 'skeeters (and most of your friends) away. Ticks are more difficult. Wear a long-sleeved shirt and long pants and use repellents, and also put a rubber band around each sleeve and pants cuff. And when you get home, take a showers and it's not bad to have a friend check your body to make sure you are tick-free. They're easy to remove if you get to them in the first few hours after they start to dig in. Animals Snakes: Snakes would much rather avoid than confront you. When I hike I walk heavily and sing and tap my hiking staff of rocks. This alerts any nearby snakes of my presence, and they split. Never put your hands or feet anyplace you can't see. Let's say your bopping down the trail and come around a bend and right there in the middle of the trail see a 5' rattlesnake sunning itself. Not to worry. Just yell at it. It will slither off and you can continue your hike. And start singing. Bears: They will go to any length to avoid you. The only exception are campground bears who will steal your pikanic basket if you leave it unattended. Mountain Lions: I've only been lucky enough once in over a thousand miles of hiking during the last 30 years to see a mountain lion. They've seen me plenty of times no doubt, but they are no danger if you're over 3 feet tall or with people, unless you get too close to a mother with kittens. Coyote's: Again, no danger to people. Yell at them and throw rocks. I invited my 10-year old neice to go hiking with other family members and she told me she was scared. "Scared of what?" I asked. She went down the whole list: snakes bears, lions and stuff and I told her what I posted here--no danger. However, the is a very dangerous animal that you definately encounter in the woods. People. Unlike animals, people will sometimes fuck with you for no discernable reason whatsoever. AND girls should NEVER hike alone, or without at least 1 male. Sorry to say, men can be dangerous to women when loosed from the constaints of civilization. Now lace up those hiking boots and hit the trails.
A dog. They help in so many ways. Besides being your pal, they will keep any evil-doers away. They will also warn you of/scare off snakes & stuff. When you stealthily approach your garden, your dog will alert you of anyone lurking nearby. AND Feed your dog meat the night before and the morning of your hike. When you get to your grow, feed him a bran muffin. Works on dogs just like with people. Now you have the shit of a meat-eater in your grow area. This will deter deer who, when they smell it, will know it came from a carnivore. You know, thinking about it, the ideal meat to feed your dog before a hike would be venison . So make your dog your grow buddy. And reward your dog when you have your pounds of ganja. Lots of petting will do for a female dog; if it's a male, find him a bitch in heat.
Your posts are inspiring, but I don't think I'll have the time to do all this stuff until I've stabilized my career and all that crap. Heheh, thanks for all the info and ideas.
