So this is the first time i will ever be attempting growing.
I'm on Probation
and i have parents that don't advocate anything "illegal." So I have to grow outdoors. But that's not to bad, back to nature the way it started. Plus that can help take care of a lot of tasks anyways.
So anyways, I live in the midwest. So i'll start germinating indoors, and I'll transplant outdoors. I have already started making a compost pile and preparing a spot.
Temperatures around here stipulate that you plant in late April and Harvest sometime in mid to late October.
The spot is about 50 feet up on a "hilltop." Which probably isn't the right way to describe, because it's more like a valley dug out by a river. But there's water running nearby.
It's in a forest area. I'm clearing trees for as much sunlight as possible. It probably won't get as much sunlight as some experts on RIU would expect, but i don't have the luxuries available at the moment to have everything perfect. Gotta do what i can with what i got.
Great thing is that it's surrounded by massive thorn bushes, and i've built a wall with cleared out forest plants and small trees. I HIGHLY doubt it'll be found. Mostly the only people who go back here besides myself are little kids who wouldn't know what it was if they found it, which i doubt they will...
So there are a few questions i have to ask. I've done research on here, but it's just a couple of things that direct answers really are the best thing for.
First, which type of strain would you recommend on growing here in this sort of climate and area? Something fairly easy to grow. A hardy plant that's capable of handling a few adversities, because since it's my first time growing i'm bound to mess up somewhere along the line... i'll try not to.
Not necessarily grade A kill, but something that's pretty good. I'm not too picky a guy, I haven't smoked in 2 months, and it'll be another 4-7 before i can.
Also, if i germinate them inside, what should i do exactly with that? Put them in a potting soil in a dixie cup or something like that? Then how long do i keep them? until just after they break the surface. Or should i hold them for a few days/week until i transplant them?
What are some experts recommendations on like a soil mix. Because i don't plan on just potting soil this whole thing. I have ZERO income to spend on only the most important things. So I know that for the most part soil in the midwest is high in clay. So what would you guys recommend i do to treat and prep the soil where i'm growing?
Man, i'm just such a newb on this. Anything that is possibly helpful i would love to hear it. All help is much appreciated.
It's only January, but I promise to put up picks of the whole grow, from "seed to smoke" lol
