Hello, Rollitup, it has been a little while since I have lurked these boards and contributed my handful of posts, but it is getting really close to that time of year for my growing season to begin up here in the Pacific Northwest.
I completed my first grow last year, harvesting a quarter pound off of 6 plants (took me 3 months to smoke it all, so I smoke at the rate of a pound a year), and I am interested in starting up another small-scale, personal-use grow this year.
The seeds that I acquired last year were from a fellow patient that I was taking care of for a while as a caretaker before getting my own card and starting this great hobby that I am quite passionate about. The fellow patient that I am speaking of had an indoor system that I would tend to.
She/He gave me her/his seeds from indoor plants, and I used them in the great outdoors. Living in my condition, I could not afford the increase in the monthly electricity bills- but I could afford some soil and nutrients, and the free seeds that I was given. So I looked to the sun as my source of light, and I was quite happy with how it turned out.
I harvested 4 ounces of marijuana, and saved roughly 30 seeds from the plants that I had.
Anyways, that was all last year.
Now it is one year later, and the growing bug is starting to bite at me again.
Please do not tell me that I should have been saving throughout the year to afford setting up lighting and heaters and humidifiers and fans and ventilation with filtration, as you can see- I have already been telling myself that, haha.
I want to grow outdoors again, still in the Pacific Northwest, except this time instead of having seeds from a plant that was grown indoors, I now have seeds from a plant that was grown outdoors in my region.
The question:
I would like to know: If the seeds adapt to the climate they were grown in from generation to generation, so the first generation of outdoors growing will have a rough time adjusting to the new conditions, then the second generation will be a little more adapted, and will thus be healthier(resistant to my climate) and produce a greater yield?
