I want to start an outdoor grow in pots so I can sex them and only plant female. What size pots do they need to start out in?
Any experienced growers? Please help.

1 gallon pots will work fine

Ok so can you tell whether they are male/female by the time they are like 1foot tall?

are you starting them indoors, or outdoors?

Most strains will begin to show sex within 5-6 weeks from seed. 1Gal pots should be fine if your timing is good, 2Gal if you're not sure or want to be safe, allow for weather to be stable etc. Assuming you're growing indoor to start them and have proper lighting/setup to get them large enough of course... You'd be better to have started a plant earlier and clone it for outdoor, you can get the timing down better and you know you'll have fems to plant... There's still time now to grow a couple of mothers and clone them in time for say June 1st planting...

THank you all! I am thinking of just planting them in the soil outside in a greenhouse. How far apart do I plant them?

Come on, man.
Do a little reading.

You know everyone on here says do reading instead of answering. I have read but want more info. I need to plant 10 seeds. 2 foot radius? Or 1 foot?

12-18" is fine for temporary spot, if you have the room allow some more in case you get delayed in planting them in their final spot. If this is the final spot and you have the room give them 2-3 ft. It really depends on a lot of factors, the more details you post the better answers you'll get...
For example, strain, training if any that will be done, all play into how much room you'll need...

You know, normally I have a lot of patience, but now you're just pissing me off. While I don't mind answering questions, either you have an extremely low IQ, you're a lazy fucker, or you're just fucking around here.
In every one of my posts (and others than have posted) I've mentioned factors and tried to get more information by commenting on certain things, yet you haven't taken the time to read them or answered any of them in your replies.
Plant them in a 2ft radius and water them, they're fucking weeds, even an idiot can grow them in a greenhouse or outdoor, not really sure what your plan is since you haven't elaborated at all five post in...

Here is an idea, plant them in containers until they get a bit of size to them, then take a clone from each one and flip the clones to 12/12. They'll show sex within a couple weeks, and you haven't shocked the whole plant. As was pointed out, 1 gal pots work well, but if you are doing an outdoor grow, and I'm assuming you wanna plant directly into the ground, I'd put 'em every 2' at the closest. 3' would be better to me, but then I'm an indoor kinda guy, so take my advise for what it's worth.
