After 2 years in tents, i'm going wild, would appreciate some tips :)

Good evening, I've recently moved out into the country, and thought it would be a terrible waste to leave all that wilderness untamed. I've found a perfect spot, on a hill, allowing good drainage and sun all day. Its about a mile from my house, and I can see the area from my garden, and in 4 weeks, not 1 person has been up there. I'm growing ten small Autos's, and rather than have a garden, I am gonna spread them across a half sq mile, dotted around some larger bushes, so as not to be noticed

Rather then plant them n the soil, which seems OK to be fair, i'm gonna transplant them into 3 litre pots, full of a good soil (had Plagron Bat Mix recommended) and perlite, and then plant the whole lot, and cover with a little natural dirt. I imagine this will keep the main part of the root ball in the good soil, with room for expansion out of the drain holes. The Blue Mystic auto's from NIrvana, should only grow 18-24" and are claimed 8 weeks, seed to harvest, but i'm guessing 10 weeks.

Never grown with auto's so not sure when to transplant them outdoors. I've heard that these start to flower after about 3 weeks, so I guess it is best to put them out after 2 weeks (after putting them outside for an hour or more each day, for the second week)

If anyone can see any potential problems, please let me know, Also, any advice on bug control would be great. The area is pretty meadow like, so I'm hoping there will be a good little ecosystem going on, with plenty of bees and spiders eating the nasties.

The little seedlings are about 1 week above soil, and I know they have a little stretch, but seem to be handling it OK, and will be buried deep when I replant them. Ignore the other 2, they are being vegged for a small tent grow.

Need to get them into final containers asap or into soil, I always start them where they will finish.

I would put them into local soil if it good Blue mystic are some very nice bud after cure.

Thanks, I was wanting to repot sooner rather than later to help with the stretch, so I'll follow your advice and do it when I get some money in a couple of days.

And hell yeah, grew blue mystic fems (but not auto's) for about a year, and loved it. Best taste (and thats before cure), and heaviest stone so far by a long shot. IN fact, those 3 ladies in my avatar were my last Blu Myst's, just before flip. Can't wait to get some more in my lungs. Last year I put 2 small Blu's n my conservatory, and have to say, I thought they had a much better taste with natural daylight, different spectrums I guess.

Thanks for the help

outdoor is amazing while youre at it, might as well start some of your own food, lettuce, radishes, beets , its amazing to grow your own food and eat it or sell it at a farmers market, just a suggestion lol sorry

I actually had a go at a couple of tom's, peppers and herbs last year in the conservatory, which went well apart from loads of little white bugs on the tips and fruits, and had niether the time nor money to look after them properly, so gave up, but plan to have another go this year. the house we have moved into already has 2 good producing apple trees, and the other day I brushed my leg against one of the plants in the garden and got the most wonderful waft of rosemary. Really pleased, as I love barbeque's and find a bit of fresh rosmary on the coals is beautiful
