First things first. Is it too late to start an outdoor grow in Wisconsin? We're getting about 15 hours of sunlight a day, temperatures pretty warm and humid. The spots I'll be growing in will get at least 10 hours of sunlight, probably more, being that they're in a field that has northern exposure.
I'm thinking if I get seeds germed and in the ground before July 1st, I can veg them for 4-5 weeks (this should be enough time?) and then garbage bag them for a 12/12 cycle in mid-August to start flowering. If I give them a forced 12/12 cycle for two or three weeks, can I stop using the garbage bags and just let them continue to flower using natural light cycles?
As for setup, I've got some mulch and basic fertilizers, can water as much as needed, though they'll be planted in a really nice field full of 3-4' tall, green grass/weeds and not too far from a pond. Should I start the plants in pots? Or can the germinated seeds go straight into the ground? What are the benefits in pots transplanted to ground vs. just dropping the seed in the ground? Should I use topsoil if I plant them straight into the ground?
Fences. How necessary is fencing around the plants? I'd obviously like to be as discreet as I can, but I'm not going to sacrifice the plants solely for that.
Finally, when the plants are in flower, how often will they require watering? I mean, I know when to water and when not to. I'd just like to get an estimate as to how often, on average, a moderate-sized flowering female needs watering assuming little to no rain.
Thanks much bros.
