Hey there guys! This is my first grow and its outside. I'm sick and have been getting free pot from this really nice guy I know. Every thing he has given me has been free but i told him one day i would pay him back when and if i could. He's given me about a half pound of weed over the last year. Im hoping to get a full pound so I can pay him back the half pound and have another half pound to smoke for the next year. I posted in the newbie section but was hoping to get some input from some experienced outdoor growers. I'm using a couple 100 gallin pots a couple 65 gallon pots a couple 45 gallon pots a couple 30 gallon pots a couple 15 gallon pots a couple 10 gallon pots and a few 5 and 3 gallon pots for a total of 25 plants. The dirt isnt fancy dirt from the store but from my parents farm. The nutrients are from my parents compost pile which includes farm animal droppings, food waste and whatever else goes in their compost pile. I put it in a pair of pantyhose and a sock and let it brew in buckets of water for a little while. Even if I dont get a full pound it will be nice to pay him back some and have some for myselfm thanks in advance for any tips or advice!
Help a sick girl out please...

This late climate? These have been outdoors since the end of may and the climate here is great. It is 92 through 95 deg all this week and was over 100deg all last week. Isnt now the best time to be growing outdoor? Im in central california in the middle of farm land, everything else is growing outside right now. Please advise me on what would be laughable so I can try to prevent it.

Awesome plants I would be banking on closer to 2-3 pounds maybe more if you let them all finish up into October.
