Outdoor Grow -Season _1

**GodsCreat0r** · 03-21-2010, 05:21 PM

Hello , everyone first off wanted to say how good it is to be apart of rollitup.

As my topic says i am going to be doing a outdoor grow this summer.

I live in just 2 hours away from New York , At a Elevation Of 1800 ft .

It is currently March , spring just started .
The weather is nice , the tempeature is a few degrees cooler then in Newyork since i live in the woods , but that means also more humidty.

I have a whole bag of regular seeds , but i am currently thinking of ordering some femenized seeds to save me time and troubles in the long run.

I will be ordering from Nirvana , I had some ideas of witch strains i want , but would prefer to get your opinions about witch strain to pick from.

I have included some pictures of 3 different grow sites that i am thinking of picking from.

Also to save me trouble i was thinking of buying Big Pots for my plants along with chicken wire and Big bags of miracle grow potting soil.

And I will buy new organic fertilizers.

I have already dug a few holes in 1 of the sites im reconsidering now , but when i say i want buy Big pots it is mostly because the soil is very rooted with other plants and lots of rocks.

Any feedback would be much appreciated for this grow log will be for medicinal big bush plants that i plan to plant now and harvest sometime late .

Also for the seeds i plan to get i only plan to have 3 different strains.

I have tried using the insert image option and it did not work.

Here are direct links to my new imageshack
Each location is a different album.

Welcome to RIU

Your pics didnt show up but I would use grow bags or 5 gal pots and put them in the hole. Dont buy MG man! Go to the nursery and buy pro mix or sunshine mix or something like that. Get some worm castings or bat guano to mix in with it and you'll be perfecto!! Pro mix or sunshine mix normally comes in square bails. One bail should be enough for several 5gal pots.

It's still too early in NY to be planting outside

NY is in Zone 5 or 6

**DownOnWax** · 03-21-2010, 08:06 PM

I think average last frost for Zone 5 is April 15th-20th.

So be careful if you plant before that.

NY covers zones 4, 5, & 6. I grew up very close to NYC and the rule of thumb was "Plant 2 weeks after Easter"

Down on Wax is Spot on again!!

The grow bags sound like a good idea , it would save me money on pots and can be disposed up easily.
As for the sunshine mix or the pro mix - they both sound ok , i guess without the guano they would not be all that great.

Why should i not get the miriacle grow soil.
I think its was 3.8 cubic feet for 5 dollars on sale.
Ive grown plants in miracle grow soil before .
The only down side to miracle grow is its got the fertilizer pellets inside , bu im sure after 6 months of growing those nutrients will be depleted and i can flush it with no problem.

Well In location # 1 its further off of Location # 3 .
Location # 1 it looked liked used to be a old hunting area , but the property is empty no1 lives there anymore and there is lots of room i can find many spots around there .
Since no1 comes there it most likely will stand out but that will be ok ,I hope.

Location # 3 , i grew a plant there last year but i over fertilized it and it died , it was from shwag seeds so it was a pain.

Location # 3 is empty property as you can see it looked kinda like a farm land its right next to the road but no1 comes there , 1 person came once to check that barn that is falling apart , so i probably wont do anything there , but i wouldnt mind planting just one in that location since that there would be the most sunlight.

As for Location # 2 where i dug the couple holes and is right next to a nice pond.
Im worried that since its near a pond there is a chance that there will be lots of insects and possibly i will get a bug infestation in my grow.
Also there is a small path threw the bushes i can get too that leads to a house and i would hate for them to spot it.

At the moment Location # 1 seems the best.

Where do you guys think would be a good spot from what i just said.

good job so far. im from mass so ill be starting up soon. i just popped my 3 kush seeds into the soil yesterday to start them. Right now they are in my window sill just giving them a head start on the season. i was planning on planting in 2 weeks or so when they start to be recognizable as i live in an apartment with my mom. I cannot wait to start an outdoor grow and hopefully it will yield better product than my indoor last year.
