Cali Grow Q's

This past fall I got my medical marijuana card and next spring my parents are letting me plant some plants out in our yard to save money rather than buying it. I live near Sacramento and have plenty of yard to work with (2 acres). I know I want to grow self flowering plants throughout the year to get as many harvests in as I can. So this leads to my first series of questions: Do most cannabis dispensaries sell auto flowering clones? If so, what would you recommend using, seeds from a bank or clones from a dispensary? If not, what's a good auto flowering strain that would like the heat we get here (over 100 F frequently in summer)?

After I figure out WHAT I'm going to be growing, I now have options on HOW they'll be growing. Should I plant them in raised beds in the ground filled with horse manure and soil or should I dig a big hole? Or I could plant them in 15 gallon buckets or something?

Also, I was thinking about growing a couple sativa non self flowering plants and letting them grow all summer long so they'd be huge and just make edibles out of them, thoughts on this idea?

Thanks guys, sorry it was so long.

Im in your area (sort of) out past Marysville.In my outdoor i did 8 plants of Grandaddy Purps and Afghani Goo.I would get an Indica strain,they grow short and bushy versus the sativa "can" get over 10ft outdoors and need alot of space.I used Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil,Dig a hole about 3ftx 3ft,put some drainage rock down first,about an inch of it,some soil and then the plant,make sure they are strong enough to be outside in our kind of heat,I like introducing mine to outside for a few hours a day before I plant them permanently.I also would select a decent nutrient like Humboldt or Fox Farm they are both kind of inexpensive and good for beginners and work really good.Growing in buckets is not the best method IMO.I wouldnt do an auto flower strain due to our weird weather in the spring or you could have a loss or hermaphrodite.I would do a Grandaddy Purps,Blue Dream or a Kush type strain for outside if your not worried about height There are alot of strains in our area so pick wisely and get your clones from a dispensary if you can that way they are disease and bug free.If you have any questions you are welcome to PM me and I will do all I can to help.My outdoor turned out well for my first grow.
