always you ppl are first....i mean local, around here....its still illegal to get them from out of state.
thx tho, i look forward to your helpful advice? could you also tell me exactly where to put the seeds when i get them? do they have to be planted where the sun isnt shining on them or something?
Growing outside is tougher In AZ for more than one reason. Firstly, MMJ state or not, FEDS told to leave growers alone or not, the new MMJ laws allow for growing your 12 plants in a locked facility, which can be an open area if the walls are 10 feet high, etc etc. From what I understand, in order to get the plants their required sunlight hours, you'd have to have an outdoor facility 150x150 feet square and plant them in the middle of it--clearly impractical. If you DO insist on growing outside you'd have to find a secluded, brightly lit spot where no-one is likely to see what you are growing or, indeed, smell it. Add to that the humidity and temperature issue as mentioned by orangeade5. That's the reason there are so many posts on indoor growing, with lots of information of lighting, etc.
Legal issues aside for a moment, I don't think it would hurt to give your plants some daylight time, and gradually introduce them to the 12/12 natural light cycle of an indoor grow for flowering (when the plants are at their most distinctive, and smelliest and at their most likely stage in life to be discovered). Sunlight would be their best friend--it is, after all, the goal of all lighting setups to mimic the sun as closely as possible. Frequency of watering would go up, as they'd certainly dry out faster, and humidity would have to be addressed, as well.
I certainly think you'd get better results, but there is a lot to take into consideration when planning an outdoor grow in AZ.
