2011 First Ever Outdoor Grow

Around June I plan on starting all of my photoperiod plants because I can't let them veg into trees all summer (not enough space). So right around the time my plants are just growing bigger some will be ready for harvest.

I know I'm a noob, I'm probably overlooking some huge gap in the growing process may be making a fatal mistake. Any tips or hints as to what I could do better would be greatly appreciated. I plan on updating this thread with lots of pics so we'll see how this plays out

Also I spent $180 on seeds, I really hope I'm getting some good genetics... I really wanted to get some TGA seeds but they don't have any fem seeds.

I have no experience with Autos, but it couldn't hurt to bump 'em up to 5 gallon pots. I'm a big believes that large pots/holes make for large happy plants. But being an auto, who knows...I do know that roots can spread out pretty fast, but once again, no experience with autos. I have my first auto going right now...Just started my outdoor thread today, pop on by if you have the time

Anyway, looks like a ncie lineup. I'm in Cali too and when I ordered from the 'tude for the march promo, it took about 20 days...But they made it here just fine, and thats what i'm growing now for the most part. As for good genetics...I personally think females from regular seeds make for the most stable females, as some femmed seeds have that hermaphrodite trait. I too want TGA genetics, and plan to order some with my next Attitude order. Good luck with your grow!

sounds good will watch this for sure get some pics up if you can

Hey dude . 3 gallon is good for autos. I f I could make a suggestion, I would only do afew plants since it is your first grow. You can run into some problems and your 180$ investment could be lost. Just a thought. I live on the cen. coast of Cal. and got my last Attitude oder in a week . I guess it depends how busy they are. Good luck, jethead

No shit, a week? I gotta stop orderig during the promos, haha, but really an Auto's root won't grow more than 3 gallons? Crazy, I have one in a 2.5 gallon pot right now, but I was gonna give it more room when it gets bigger...you telling me it wouldn't benefit from more soil though? Really very little experience with autos, grew one last year but it was in the ground.

Thanks for the advice jethead. I'm doing my first grow with a friend/partner and we're dividing up the harvest. I supply the plants, soil and growing techniques while he supplies the area to grow in haha. I'm planning on putting a few photoperiods at my house, but nothing too much. Thanks for the advice too, I bought 3 gallon buckets yesterday so I'm happy I don't have to return them
