hi i recently moved to cali and got my medical paperwork. i just successfully germinated and sprouted a mekong high femenized seed and also acquired two ken's GDP clones. i am planning on growing them all in containers on my back patio. it gets TONS of light out there so i'm not worried about that. here are my main questions / concerns
1.) just letting nature do its thing - is just letting the sun take care of them enough? do i have to worry about high winds? i've also read that problems like spider mites won't be that bad if i plant some onions, garlic, or lavender in the same pot or nearby (which i'm planning on doing)
2.) instead of commercial nutes (except a bloom booster i'm planning on using in the fall.. i.e. molasses or similar) i'm planning on just throwing some eggshells and coffee grounds in with the plants. i've done this for my roses, blueberry bush and strawberries and they all seem to love it! has anyone else tried this? i'm trying to go a more organic route as opposed to using chemical nutrients.
3.) neighbors etc... it says on my paperwork that i have the right to "cultivate" but if one of my neighbors smells my plants can i still get in trouble? i live in santa clara county. i don't think this will be a problem but i'm also a little paranoid.
4.) even though my seeds were "femenized" can they still turn out male?
5.) some of my plants don't mind having their roots touched when i repot them. actually breaking up the root ball a little is good and promotes growth. is cannabis the same? it seems from the info i've gathered that i should NOT touch the roots or disturb the plant at all when i repot.
6.) the heat.. i've gotten a little mixed response here. been told they love hot weather. but it gets REALLY hot here in the summer.. as long as i make sure the soil stays moist will my babies be ok?
sorry if this is all a little much but i will appreciate the feedback greatly. also, i think i will post pics soon for all to see and give feedback.
also trying to germinate an aphrodite seed and a kandy kush femenized seed. before i sprouted the seedling by putting the seed straight in soil and watering. but i didn't have a high success rate so now i'm just starting the seeds in a cup of water till they sprout and then going to move to a pot... good idea? bad?
thanks in advance for any feedback.
