If i germinate my seeds and put them directly into the ground outside in the woods where i plan on growing them, Will they grow ok?

I figure since all plants were outside to begin with it would right?
When i read on here there is always someone talking about ph levels, nutrients and everything else. I wanna germinate and plant, then come back every 2 days or day and water with some spring water. Thats pretty much it. Will it grow? Where my spot is there is a bunch of green plant life already so the soil can sustain life. Any tips?

The success rate for putting them directly in the ground is much less than starting them inside, even in a windowsill. But yes, it works the same. You will probably be fine without testing all the levels, they will want some nutrients though. Whether it be chemical fertilizers (not recommended), organic fertilizers, or even animal dung (not carnivorous animals). You also may want to dig a 3x3 hole, even if you're gonna fill it with what was already there, it'll make the roots grow easier. Good luck.

Ok if i start them inside in a window sill, Can i use cheap ass potting soit, throw in a little perlite, and as soon as they sprout above the dirt move them on up there? Like when they are an inch or 2 high?

Yeah, they'll still die easier than established plants, and animals love young, supple plants. But that will give you better results.

here you go....
Dig out your area where they are going to be planted. Apply 10-30-20
fertilizer to the ground to give the plant added nutrients. Mix with soil.
Your now going to take your plants and move them into the ground.
They should be planted no more than 1 inch in the ground.
Apply your ladybug eggs around your grow site, these little
lifesavers will kill all the bugs trying to get at your beautiful plants.
Water the plants only when the soil feels dry, checking your PH
before you water them, normal PH level is 6.3-6.9
If you have done all the steps correctly you will begin to see flowers
start to bloom over the next 2 weeks.
Its time to get rid of the males, they can ruin your end product.
Use a search engine to find pictures of males to better help you pick them out.
Just continue to give the plants water and fertilizer. Remembering not
to give them too much. After some weeks of flowering the plants will become heavy with
buds. Resin building has started and a shiny layer of little crystals begins to cover it.
You will begin to see brown hairs emerge, that means you have about 3 more
weeks until harvest, Stop giving your plants fertilizer about 10 days before your
estimated harvest date.
For the last ten days, just give your plants PH adjusted water, just enough so
they will survive off of that. The less water is in the plant’s system when harvesting,
the sooner the buds will be dry.

try it out.. get me the result....

outdoor from seed. the old fuckin school way!-

firstly, as in real estate, location is everything. i won't even begin on that.

as far as starting them outdoors, i typically figure 8 or 10X the amount of plants i want to bloom.
half will die.
half will get eaten by bugs and animals.
half will be males.


good luck. happy growing
